I am happy to report that everything went well this week, and N-------, B--------, and P---- were baptized and confirmed! We are so happy for them. They grew so much during the last few weeks that we have know them. It is incredible to see. They have so much faith and trust in the Lord. Even N------- who initially didn't feel the need to be baptized. A woman from the Catholic church passed by to give her their "sacrament" and heard that she was going to the Mormon church. The woman told her, "Now you can't go to two churches. You are going to have to choose -- the Catholic church or the Mormons?" N------- said, "Well then I would like to stay with the Mormons." The woman grabbed her stuff and left, telling N------- that she couldn't return there.
This family is amazing! I cant wait to see how everything goes with them.
The baptism was really cool. It took about 5 minutes for N------- go around back and enter the water. We thought that we would have to use more than one person to baptize her because she is a little frail. But she entered the water, and our LMA Sabastião baptized her on the first try. She was a Champ!!! It was cool to get to baptized P----. When I was going to pull him out of the water, his feet lifted off the ground and I was stuck holding him their for a little bit. But he quickly put his feet on the ground and stood up. And after the baptism, when they were eating cake, we sang "Sou Um Filho de Deus" or "I Am a Child of God" to them, and played the guitar.
I will send a bunch of pictures to you guys.
I hope that all is well back home, Love you guys!!!
