March 28 letter

This last week, we´ve got good news and bad news: Bad news is that Carla still hasn´t gotten baptized because she wants to pick the day without any pressure or anything. So, we´re just leaving it in her hands because she already knows what needs to be done. We watched Finding Faith in Christ with her, her husband (who we want to baptize her because he got reactivited once she started coming), Carla´s anti-Mormon sister, and a less-active friend of theirs. It was really good! Gretin, Carla´s sister, wanted to have an argument about religion with us, but it turned out good in the end after we responded to some of her questions. She doesn´t believe in our Church or anything, but she knows what we´re about now.

The good news, Edinilson (whose mom and bros are members as well as 2 of his own kids) came to Church this Sunday! He and his wife used to go to the Assembléia de Deus, but have recently left. We taught them the first lesson and they both accepted to get baptized this Saturday!!!! Super exciting. I´ve never baptized parents and I´m really hoping and praying that this goes through. We also had some other people at Church that we´re trying to get baptized this week. If I don´t baptize someone soon, then I´m going to go absolutely insane!

This past week was fun though, because we got some good food! Neide made us some Bolo de Chuva (Rain Cake) which was awesome. Eliane made banana and corn cake that we got to eat. And then we had Cookie Night last night to thank everyone for the awesome food! I love these members. They are all super loving and I can say that I have lots of mom away from home. No need to worry, Mother Carpenter. Just make sure to pay it forward with the missionaries back home. Do we even have missionaries that are responsible for our ward? I always tell my comps that our ward is so small that we don´t have any. Womp. Other good news: it rains almost every day right now! Eh, good news because it´´s not hot, but bad because it makes it harder to get from house to house.

Lova yall! Have a great week and a wonder General Conference this weekend! The prophet baby!
