This week was kind of difficult with
our investigator, Sabatião. That one man I spoke about a week ago...
well I guess his daughter said some things to him which made him turn
very very Wishy washy, and not wanting to promise or even DO anything.
He went to a baptismal interview, but refused to even say a prayer. He
told us that he likes church, but doesn´t want to promise anything.
Practically what he said was "you can keep visiting me, but I´m not
going to progress." And well, it was very sad, but yet again, we have to
let people use their free agency.
We had a 10
year old girl come to church yesterday (picked up by a member!) and to
tell the truth, she LOVED sacrament meeting! What can I say? I love it
too!
Guess what happened!!!! Wednesday,
someone clapped at our portão and guess who it was?! SISTER COSTA AND
SISTER SOLIS!!!!!!! My old companions!!!! (we were in a trio together)
and they were here to do divisions (they are the sister leaders
trainers!) So I spent all ay with Sister Solis and it was heaven!!!!!! I
learned so much (be more persistent in the contacts and have more
patience with recent converts, etc.) It´s amazing what kind of love you
develop in the mission. It´s incomparable.
I
believe I am understanding more clearly the significance an importance
of the atonement in the mission. Every time I teach the Plan of
Salvation, talk about Adam and Eve, think about repentance, I feel my
testimony of the atonement grow. It makes so much sense and really was
an act of true love. Love on the part of Heavenly Father and also Jesus
Christ. I doubt I will ever have the capacity to understand it
completely, but I am just so grateful. It gives us strength in moments
when we are weak.
Out of time. Love you all tons.
Sister Eliason
