Week 92 - Elder Costa Maraba








Hello!!
THis was a good week. We got to hear from Presidente Costa on Wednesday, well kind of. We were suppose to watch the transmission from Belém with the whole zone in Parauapebas. We got there and found out the internet was not working at the church... No member there has good internet so we had to think fast and decided to go to Canaã Wednesday morning to watch it there. But, the internet was SUPER slow and we missed the first 2 hours... So we ran to a cyber to see if the internet was better. We were not able to get the video but we were at least able to hear a little bit. It was buffering every 10 seconds so we got bits and pieces, but it was really good what we got to hear!!
While we were in Canaã we decided to take advantage and stay 1 more day to work with the elders there. It is a really cool city! And the elders there are teaching a guy named John Lennon. No one calls him John, you have to say John Lennon every time. It was difficult to teach him because I wanted to start laughing everytime I said his name, but now I can always say that I invited John Lennon to keep the Word of Wisdom!;)
I told you about that family we are teaching that has 3 kids and 2 of them with age to be baptized. THey are getting ready to be baptized this Saturday. 2 of there kids are super funny. One of them has 7 years old and the other one has 9. They try to be just like us! They put on their backpacks and walk together and start teaching their mom trying to be like us. Haha they did it yesterday while we were there and it was hilarious! Even the way they talk is exactly like missionaries! We made them throw away their coffee this week and the little kid almost cried! He got the coffee container after we had thrown it away and was looking inside and smelling it like he could not believe we had thrown his coffee away! We are praying that the other family will be married this week and baptized as well.
THe sisters from Parauapebas told us about a guy they were teaching but now he moved to our area. He went to church 2 times with them. We went this week and found him with his mom and his sister. They are in a very difficult situation but were very receptive. After the lesson the man said he had seen a priesthood blessing when he visited the church in the other city and asked us to give him and his family a blessing. After the lesson we were able to give each on of them a priesthood blessing and they came to church yesterday.
We are finding lots of good people to teach!
Love yall!
