This week went rather well.
To start off we had a lesson with Douglas, Rodrigo and Márcia. They are a family that is super cool. They always read the Book of Mormon and have a bunch of questions. It's helpful that they are teachers and enjoy reading. While we were teaching the lesson it started to rain and we were pushing it really close on the time to get home. Luckily, we were offered a ride home which saved us from getting wet. When we arrived in the apartment the other elders looked at us in wonder and asked how we weren´t wet. Douglas, Rodrigo and Márcia also came to church this Sunday. Some of the youth came up and started talking to them. It turns out that they are their teachers! They seemed to enjoy it and confirmed our next visit.
This week we started up noite de integração again. This activity is always fun and is rather simple. It is an activity were the whole ward is invited and is a great opportunity for them to invite friends. The activity had a good attendance, at about 30 people. There were only two guys, but later on we noticed that they were playing soccer outside. Elder Sabino gave the message and I did the game with a snack of popcorn. Activities here don´t function unless you have a snack.
This was the week that my companion and I were able to bring the most people to church in this area out of the whole time I have been in this area. What we did differently is that we prayed individually for each investigator by name in every prayer. It really show that we need to ask the Lord for specific things and show him our desires.
Random:
* We got transfer calls last night and Elder Sabino & I will be staying and I will now be the District Leader.
* Also this week Paulo, one of my investigators from Recanto da Serra, was baptized. Like with Màrcia, I would have liked to have been there, but knowing that I was able to help him is enough.
