This week was a pretty good one. And by pretty good I mean
that nothing special happened again. But it looks like things will start
getting better here pretty soon. We had an interview with João Carlos this week
(who has been going to church for like 6 months now), and he's getting pretty
close to being baptized. He's a really cool guy. Also, every time I talk to him
I realize that he's richer and richer. The other day we went to his house to
talk to him, and he was pulling out in a convertible Peugeot. It was a rather
expensive car. And he was driving out to unload a machine in a different
warehouse that is his. Some people and their money. But he should be baptized
here pretty soon.
Then we got Maria and Carlos. The couple that needs to get
married. We actually met Carlos this week, and he's really cool. He is
interested in the church and is super nice to us. They actually made us dinner
last Wednesday and we just sat and talked with them for a while. It was a
pretty good night. They are still working on the marriage papers because it
seems to be quite an annoying process, but hopefully this month Maria can still
be baptized. Carlos will be a little bit longer because he smokes and drinks
coffee still. But they're both excited!
We also finally met a guy named Thiago that we had been
chasing around for a while. Elder Gade and I were in the mall about 2 weeks ago
and a man walked up to me and asked me to go to his house. So we did. Multiple
times. And he was never there. But finally this last Monday we caught him.
Turns out he's from Maceió and his family lives there. He's living here with
his cousin and they're working here for now. He has a wife and kid back at
home. They actually had been receiving the missionaries at their house for
almost a year, and were planning on getting baptized. But they want to be
baptized together. Kind of a problem when they don't live together. But Thiago
is this super nice, super humble guy that is super hard to find at home, but an
awesome guy. Definitely a blessing that he came and found us!
Well, that's about it for this week! No pictures this week,
though :( It was raining quite a bit and I didn't want to risk bringing my
camera with me.
Love you all! Have a great week!
