This just seemed like a pretty plain week. We worked just like normal.
This week we had interviews with President Fernades, so we had to go to Belo Horizonte. It´s about one and a half hours away by bus and is the closest that I have been to serving in Belo Horizonte. While we were there we decided to look and see what they had in their larger supermarket and we found a can of Cherry Coke. I know that doesn´t seem like much to you, but I haven´t seen one in over a year now. They are doing a special limited edition to see if it sells. Well, they sold two to a happy American missionary. Now I just need to find root beer and ginger ale.
We are teaching quite a few people right now and the work is moving well. We even had a investigator give us dinner. It made me think of something that Elder Ribeiro always said," You can tell that someone likes you when they start giving you food." The phrase is pretty true. My companion and I, being polite missionaries offered to help. This ended with grape juice spilled on my shirt and the investigator telling my companion to stop washing dishes. People here don´t let you wash dishes a whole lot. We always offer anyways.
This week we started using a great message that we call Noah´s ark. Noah was a prophet and was commanded to call repentance to the people and warn them of a coming flood. He was really trying to save them and invited them to enter into the ark. If we were Noah, who would we invite into the ark? As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints we are in the ark and we should invite all to know more about Jesus Christ and His restored gospel. As you do this you will see the blessing that will come and the people that will answer the call.
Elder Quain
