Hello family!
This week! We had some cool things happen! We found some
good new families! I'll tell you about one.
On Thursday, we got a call from the secretaries saying that
they had a reference for us. From a guy named Carlos Wizard. Who happens to be
one of the richest people in Brasil. But that's beside the point. Generally,
his references are junk and the person has no idea why we were sent to their
house and ends up rejecting us. Buuuut we decided to try and contact this
person! So we went to her house (which was way in the back of this dirt road
and looked like it didn't exist), and knocked on the door. The girl's name was
Gisele. We told her who we were, and she just invited us in as if she was
expecting us. Turns out, she works at a place called Skill, which is a language
school. And she takes English classes there as well (She works in sales).
Apparently she had requested a visit from the missionaries on Wizard's site
because she knew that we were generally American and therefore speak English
fluently. If you could see the typos that I just made you would know that's a
complete lie. Anyways. We went there, and turns out she is needing quite a bit
of help spiritually, and not only with the school. She and her husband had been
fighting a bit, and she had pretty much given up on God. But then we showed up
and now we're going to help her and her husband! We're super excited. They also
have two kids, one who is 8 and the other is 4. So we could have three baptisms
here in a bit! And we're gonna go help out at the English school!
That's pretty much the exciting story for this week. I love
you all and hope you all have a great week!
