1 December 2010

This week was a fast one. I’m still loving working together with Elder Sardinha. Last week, we stopped by the house of one girl who has been going to church for almost a year (She lives in Capão Raso, the neighbor ward, where we go when there are referrals). Her God-mother was anything but friendly, but we still acted courteous. At church, the bishop and other leaders from Capão Raso told us that things would be difficult with Elza (the God-mother) and that it would take some time. Well, Daiane expressed her desire (without us saying anything) to be baptized, and we went over on Monday to see if her mother had signed the baptismal form. What a surprise it was for us when Elza invited us to some in and wait for Daiane! And what a bigger surprise it was when she started to ask us questions about the Gospel of Jesus Christ! She asked us why evil exists in the world. She asked us about life after death. It was a wonderful teaching opportunity, and we were very grateful for the blessing that Heavenly Father had bestowed upon us. Daiane was baptizes yesterday night, and Elza is excited to have us over again soon.
Not much has changed outside of that. The mission choir is still going strong. We’ll be presenting next week. I still don’t know anything about our presentation for the governor. I’ll call the brother who’s in charge of all this tonight to see what’s going on.
I hope the computer won’t have blown up when I get home .
Love,
Elder Floyd
