This week was pretty good. We taught 14 new people on Thursday. We gave an invitation for one member to invite some people over for a family night. He told us he would try to think of some people, and when we went there, he had brought 10 people! Eight neighbors and two of his sisters that live way out in the interior. It was really cool to see him take our invite and do something great with it!
We have two people that can be baptized here in a little while. One is R-----. He called a friend that's a member and asked to talk with us. We came and taught him, and he accepted our baptismal invitation and came to church yesterday. We will be working a lot with him the next two weeks, but he is really cool!
The other is M---- d-- D----, or D---. She was a referral from one of our members. The member gave us her name only for the fact that she isn't part of the Assembleia De Deus... But she is really good. She came to church with us too, and she really liked it. We taught her son last night, and he was really interested too. But he was amazed that we got her to go to church. He said that she really doesn't like church. But we all know that it was the Spirit that helped her have the desire to go.
We had a split this week, and I was with our DL. At the end, he said, "Your goal last time was to talk more with people. How do you think you're doing with that?" And we sat there for a couple of minutes and looked at how much better I was at just communicating. Asking for directions, opening my mouth to introduce the gospel, and initiating lessons. So that was something that really gave me some hope.
During the split, we were walking and a dog started barking really loud. Elder P------- put his hand out and said "Cala Boca!" Or "shut your mouth", and the dog was silent. We both turned our heads to look at each other with amazement on our faces. It was pretty funny, and he said, "I have the priesthood." He said it in English, and I almost died laughing.
But anyways, things are going good here. I hope that everything is good back home, Love you all!
Elder Nielson
