E aí gente,
This week flew by. We have been staying really busy. We found some great new people and walked quite a bit to drop off Books of Mormon for them. Also, there is a member here who requests 10 Book of Mormons every week to hand out to people. There are so many awesome members here.
Also, we just got transfers. I thought everything was going to stay the same, but boy was I wrong. Sadly, Elder Bowen is leaving after only 2 weeks of being with me. I will be staying here to be a Zone Leader of a reopening zone! Crazy stuff. But, I do have to travel 5 hours to Uberlandia with my companion to pick up my new comp.
We had a pretty amazing miracle happen. I was messaging someone on Facebook, and it turns out missionaries had knocked on his door before. He wanted to learn more, but the missionaries never came back. We taught him about the restoration, and then brought him a Book of Mormon the next day. When we gave him the book, he asked about baptism. He told us he had prayed about our message. He felt that he needs to continue meeting with us and following the gospel path. We invited him to be baptized and he accepted!! He has many health problems, and I have no idea how we are going to baptize him, but God is a God of miracles. Gilberta hasn't really been progressing, but we are hoping we will be able to help her. Please keep them both in your prayers.
Spiritual thought: "God has sent us right here, right now, at this momentous time in history, so that we can do the greatest possible good with the talents and gifts we have. This is our time!"

There is a reason we are where we are. People always ask: why would they send you back to Brazil for only 3 months?? I know I have a purpose here, there is so much to do.
I love you all and always appreciate all the support and emails I receive.
