So it was kind of a slow week this week. Had a lot of appointments fall through and stuff. But we had a Baptism on Friday! A woman that we have been working with finally was able to get baptized. She wasn´t able to get baptized last Sunday because she was really sick. But we got her baptized. And now her and her kids are a member family together. So that's really cool. Transfers were posted today and looks like I´m staying here with my comp Elder Pinheiro. Actually our whole zone stayed the same. I´m a little sad about that because one of my zone leaders is annoying. I don´t really like him very much and my Comp doesn´t either. Mostly because we don´t feel the love. The other zone leader in the companionship is amazing. Elder Nascimento is legit. Love that guy. He is what a leader should be. That guy really knows how to make others know that he cares about them. Awesome. Anyways, we had a bit of a miracle last night. Total answer to my prayers and fasting. We have been working with this family for a few weeks now. The daughter knows the church is true and wants to get baptized. But the mom didn´t really want anything to do with the church, didn´t want to change anything in her life, just liked our company. And the dad was kind of the same only he actually was reading the Book of Mormon. He said he would support the daughter whatever her decision was. Anyways, it´s been hard because the mom was keeping things from moving along. But the other day the mom told us she was going to go to church with us. She was really excited and she told us like 5 times. And afterwards I told the daughter because she has a testimony, she needs to be a light to her family, look for opportunities to bear testimony, and suggest wholesome things like family prayer and reading the scriptures together as a family. I shared some scriptures from 3 Nephi of things that the Savior told the people to do. Family Prayer being one of those things specifically, and also I told her to be praying for her family daily, and then shared the scripture that talks about anything asked of the Father in the name of Christ, if it is righteous and according to the will of God, shall be given you. She really liked all of it. Anyways Sunday came and the mom wasn´t there with her daughter. I asked the daughter and she said her mom wasn´t feeling well. So that was sad. I told the daughter to tell the mother that I was sad that she wasn´t there. But later that night after having started a fast and praying for the family, the mom and the Dad were both at the church for a choir practice that their daughter was a part of. And after that the other elders in the other ward had a baptism, so the parents went to that, and then after that there was an incredible fireside all about the savior and they stayed for that too. The Dad cried like 3 different times during the fireside. Twas awesome. So I think that the family is going to start progressing nicely. And now that we know we will be staying here for the next transfer we can continue to help them along the path. I´m excited for it. ~Elder Bender.
