Thanks for the prayers. I can feel the aid of the Lord in my life. The work is starting to look brighter here in the area. We had George and 3 other investigators at church Sunday. Br--- is really cool. We started teaching her and her parents, and they are interested They really want a religion, and they are really conservative, so they fit in real well with the standards of the church.
The only problem is that they are moving, so it will most likely be a hand off to the elders in their new area to finish the work. But they are great! S----- and G------ are a mother and daughter duo. They have some problems, but they are really excited and already accepted May 5th as their baptismal date.
Saturday we had a service project in our district with "mãos que ajudam." It was really cool. We cleaned and painted a school.
We have a lot of work to keep doing here in the last week of the transfer. I like to think that a lot of times the work you are putting in will pay off a little way down the road. Maybe not in this transfer, but in the next or the next. But you can always put in a little extra work.
Sunday it started raining, and we thought it was going to stop at some point. But it never stopped. All the streets here are flooded, and we are walking around with big old rain boots on. We almost couldn't make it to the lan house today. Last night walking home, we got a ride from a member, but water started entering the engine, and he pulled over to relieve the water. We ended up walking home in water to our knees. But the other elders in our house found water to their belts. All the stores are full of water. It's crazy. We even had a little water start spilling into our house, but we quickly cleaned it up.
I hope all is well back home, and that you all can enjoy some of our photos this week!
