Wow, Another week already? Where has the time gone!?
This week was a good one! We met up with some solid investigators named Augosto and Vanda. They are from Brazil and they have a son named Daniel. Their other kids still live back in Brazil. They own a Hair salon in VFX and they are super nice people. We attempted to make "American" Chocolate chip cookies for them this week and we had to go to the church to use the oven because for some reason our house doesnt have one lol. They loved them! This week we had two lessons with them and he really just wanted to study the bible and the Book Of Mormon and how they both relate and talk about each other... so we started off in John 10:16where Christ says "Other Sheep I have which are not of this Fold..." and linked it to 3rd Nephi 15:16-17,21 where Christ explains that the Nephites are the other sheep.
Augosto was shocked. He was like,"Wow, this really explains the Bible. They really work together.. interesting" so we invited them to keep reading the BOM and keep praying. They promised us they would come to church next Sunday. We are praying for them a lot so we will see!
This Saturday I got to see something I have never gotten to see before.. the groundbreaking ceremony of the Portugal Lisbon Temple! We had to go to another chapel to watch it over broadcast and it was really spiritual and really awesome. My mission president and his wife were there and got to participate so it was awesome seeing them there. They are saying it will take about 2-3 years to build, so I am really excited to watch the progress! Ill have to come back after my mission to see it completely finished!
Thats about it for the week.
As for today, we ate at a Rodizio restaurant which is just like Toucanos back at home. So good! Ill have to take my family there someday.
Have a good week everyone! Countdown to Christmas!! Sorry no pics this week because I forgot my camera at home :(
