This week was AWESOME.
One of the members brought a friend with her to church last sunday and we got to know her. Her name is camilla and this sunday she went to church again, and we taught her the Restoration yesterday and she has so much desire to learn. She is passing through some really hard trials in her life right now and has been so prepared by the Lord to receive the gospel. When I had the opportunity to recite the First Vision to her and testify of Joseph Smith, it was a spiritually powerful moment. She cried, and we all felt the Spirit flood the room. I testified that she finally found the truth that she has been looking for and that we love her and our Heavenly Father does too. She committed to prepare herself to be baptized and we are just more than excited. I know that there are ALWAYS people around us prepared to hear and accept the gospel. I also was able to feel, again, a certainty that Joseph Smith was truly called as a prophet and that this is His church. I can not deny that I felt and know these things.
Our family of investigators also went to church again on sunday. William, CLaudineia, Ana Clara, Mariani, Maria Luisa, and Maria Eduarda were all there and loved participating. They are working hard towards baptism as well. William is trying to stop smoking and has (im forgetting the english words. ugh) smoken less (???). In other words, he i smoking less than he was before and they are really progressing.
I love my companion, Sister Sadleir. We laugh all day and are really feeling the Spirit so much in this area.
Things are busy as ever, but i love it that way. This week we have a conference tomorrow, traveling to do splits, and lots of buses lol, but we are excited.
Im happy and healthy and so glad that I am here.
This week, make a goal of watching The Restoration video and pray to know (or know again) that these things are true. Then, give somebody, anybody, a Book of Mormon this week. Ready, go!
Love, Sister Penni
