Jay Family Missionaries

I don't want you to think that I am trunky, but I only have eight more Sundays on my mission. I have 8 more Sundays to baptize.

Anyway, Monday we had a family home evening with a member family and a couple of newlyweds, Danilo and Cinthia that came to Church with them and are already reading the Book of Mormon. We taught the about the Restoration. They are very intelligent and asked a lot of questions. The wife is a lawyer and the husband works the member in the financial department in a university. The presidente of this university is Elder Milton Camargo an area seventy. After the message we ate pizza and they a chocolate pizza with icecream for dessert. This is one of the richest areas in the mission, and I am liking it because the food is good:)

On Tuesday we did splits with one of the district leaders, I was with a greenie named Elder Shreeve and we ended up doing lots of contacts. I was trying to help him lose his shyness so we stopped a couple of times in the road and asked people if they wanted to be baptized right off the bat. It is actually pretty fun.

Wednesday was pretty uneventful, but on Thursday we taught Danilo and Cinthia again. They had a lot of questions about the Plan of Salvation, Where did we come from? Why are we here? What happens after death? They really want to find the answers, but the lessons take forever because they ask lots of questions, which is good. 

On Friday we taught a 17-year-old named Lucas. His family moved from Rio de Janeiro to Natal a year ago and the opened a sweets shop. A member who is also from Rio bought some candy there, talked with them and found out that the mom had been baptized as a teenager, but became inactive after turning 18. Now she is married had has two children and said it is time to come back. Lucas has been looking for a church, but hasn't found one that he called his atention. We took him to the chapel and showed him all the rooms then we taught him the Restoration using a chalkboard. The Spirit was very strong and you could see that everything clicked in his mind. I was saying, "This isn't just another church among many" But he cut me off and completed the phrase, "It's the Church of Jesus Christ." When we showed him the Book of Mormon he said, "I want that book. How do get a book like this?" We marked his baptism for the 25th. We also taught a family of four that were referrals from another member. They are really cool as well and gave us soccer jerseys and a dinner. My shirt is one of those old school ones that you tie up.

My times up, but on Sunday we confirmed Edileuza and we had a missionary fireside where the stake president and Elder Camargo of the seventy spoke.

Tchau!
