We had a great week last week!! We've been very busy with lessons, interviews and exchanges. After a wonderful interview with President Crane, we had exchanges with the Assistants! I worked with Elder Cloward, and I was able to learn a lot from him. He's an incredible missionary and a great example! We got a lot of work done, and it was fun to work with an American companion, even if it was for just a day lol.
To start off the exchange, we decided to pray for a miracle. We prayed that we would be able to find a family to teach and baptize, then we went to work! We went to find a kid we had put on baptismal date before, but we couldn't find his house. We knocked on the door of his friend's house, and he gave us some vague directions. We followed what he had told us, but we weren't finding the right house. When we thought we were close, we asked a group of people if we were in the right place. They pointed us toward a house a little further down the street. We knocked on the door, and it wasn't the right house, but a husband and wife answered the door, and with one look into their eyes, I knew they were the people we were searching for. It was the family we had prayed about. We went inside and taught them and their two kids the Gospel. They received us super well, the spirit was incredibly strong, and Ana and Marciel wound up accepting baptismal dates. It was simply incredible.
I know that our Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. If you don't believe that, I invite you to ask Him. Then listen. I think you'll be surprised at the result.
Tenha uma boa semana!! Amo vocês muito!!
