So this week we received a referral
from a member, to go visit this girl, Carla. Oh my gosh, she´s amazing. She´s
so prepared. We went back the next day after teaching her the Restoration and
she was like yeah, I prayed about the Book of Mormon last night and I know it´s
true. I wanted to cry. Literally, that´s all I could do because I can´t speak
Portugues yet. Haha she´s so nice. She´s 21, married and pregnant. I know super
young. But the member who referred us to her is 19, married and pregnant.. Even
more craaazy. #onlymormons
So one of the rules in this mission
is that all the missionaries have to get up during fast and testimony meeting
and bear their testimonies. I found out a couple days before Sunday, and I was
like whattttttt. So during the Sacrament, first of all, fasting here is like
suicide attempt. Literally. Like I´ve never been so thirsty in my entire life.
I wanted to take like 8461652198 cups of water. Anyway, during the sacrament, I
felt so much love for my Savior, Jesus Christ. I was absolutely terrified to
get up there and bear my memorized testimony. But I knew the the Lord would
help me. When I got up there I started talking and was like stumbling on my
words, then I was overcome with the spirit and started crying. I knew that the
Lord helped me finish my testimony. First of all, you can´t understand what I
say in English, when I cry. So you definitely can´t understand what I say in
Português. hahaha. Then I saw this guy in the congregation laughing at me, I
was like oh cool. So afterwards he came up to me and was like hey sister I was
laughing at your Português, not your testimony, ta bom? I was like oh because
that´s so much better! Thanks! hahaha #gottalovebrasil
I´m so grateful to be a missionary.
I have so much grattitude in my heart. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon,
I KNOW it´s true. I have no doubts about that. Or about Joseph Smith, I know he
was a prophet of God. I love this gospel!
Line of the Week:
(while we were street contacting)
Me: We`re missionaries for the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
Random guy: Oh where is it located?
Me: I´m from the United States!
Sorry, I know my Português is bad, I´m still learning.
Random guy: Okay...
Afterwards Sister Camargo repeated
slowly his question and I was like HOW EMBARRASSING. SERIOUSLY. Hahahaha. Every
time. People just talk so fast here! I thought he was asking me where I was
from! But I mean, we do have churches located in the United States!
Hahaha
Amo vocês! Atè mais!
