I want to start with the biggest miracle that happened this week. Dad you will love it!! Last week we had a family bring their cousins to church, Biatrix and Alexandra. They came last week and the week before.
As they have come with their family they have wanted to learn more. So we set up an appointment to teach in the member’s home. Here is where it gets fun. They are a family from Brazil. Bia speaks really good English but Alexandra does not. So when we came over for our lesson we had the members translate after we would teach. It was so cool because it gave us more time to think about what we were going to say. We even picked up on some Portuguese and would throw in a word or two every so often.
It was the most amazing lesson ever. The spirit was so strong and it was amazing to see that even though it was hard to understand, the spirit could still testify to them that what we taught is true!!
After our powerful lesson I asked if they would like to get baptized!! YES!! They got so excited and we are so happy that they could.
They are so excited and will be baptized on the 9th of December!! Bia is so amazing. She is 16 and you would think that she has been in the ward her whole life. The young women have just loved her so much and they are all the best of friends now. She has come to all the firesides that have happened the last 3 Sundays and she even came to the seminary graduation. Boy is she amazing and so prepared by the Lord!!
On that note they keep coming to church and so did the other people that came last week. We had 10 investigators at church again. It was amazing to see. We still could not believe it!! It has been fun to be in a ward for so long and have gotten to know the members!! We have such a great relationship with them and they are doing so much mission work for us. Bia and Alexandra are great examples of it. Things are happening and it is so great to be apart of it.
On the sad note we were out for 2 whole days due to a really bad sickness. It hit Elder Winter first and then Elder Lim and then me. It would have been nice if it was all at once but it went one by one.
With sickness though we still were able to see so much success. It is amazing to see that it is the Lord’s work. Being sick was not fun but seeing people feel the spirit was just so amazing.
I am so excited for the future and all that is happening. Tonight we are having a big party with all the recent converts at Bishop’s house. Haha that is so awesome! Sheila is just amazing still. It was cool that we got visited by the General Authorities last week. A big part of their message was that we don’t baptize less active members. It was a good thought. It made it even better to see Sheila and Celia at church that week. Oh man I just love it.
Well everybody have a good week.
Love,
Elder Cahoon
