Bom dia!
Cipó is still Sião. I see miracles everyday, I just have to
look for them. One of our investigators, here name is Debora, was really
progressing, but we just couldn´t get her to church because she had to work
every Sunday. It was just sad because her and her boyfriend are both really
interested, but could never come on Sundays. Well we passed by last night and
she got fired! She´s not super excited about it, but I know that it was a
blessing. Bruno is her boyfriend and they have a three year old daughter. They
said they´ll be coming to church this Sunday, we´re super excited for them.
One more cool story. We were walking up one of our huge
hills in Cipó on our way to visit a recent convert (Gideyuma), and I had an
impression that we should stop and knock one door (except for it´s really clap
at one gate). Well it turns out that a family of four lives there and we´re
teaching them now. Tais is the one that came to the door and she´s the most
interested. She´s 19 and asks some really hard questions, but it´s really good.
Anyway, after the first lesson when we were walking away, Elder Ribeiro said
that he had had the same feeling to stop at that house with his companion
before, but never did. It was a confirmation to me that as long as we´re in
tune with the Spirit the Lord will guide the work.
Oh, for Mother´s Day you need to let me know if you want to
Skype or just talk on the phone. Next week, tell me what Number or Skype to use
and what time you want me to call and all that good stuff :) I think I´m three
hours ahead, right? We get one hour to talk, so anytime after noon is good for
me.
We´re still working with Victor. He stopped drinking coffee
and is still really solid. He has a strong testimony. For some reason his
parents are still a little resistent, but the Bishop talked with his step dad
(Inactive) and I think he´s going to allow Victor to be baptized this weekend.
We´re excited for him.
The food is still super good. I don´t know if you´ve ever
heard of Feijoada, but the Brazilian women make good use of almost every part
of the Pig. It´s really good, you just have to be careful to not eat the bad
stuff. I love the fruit here too! The bananas taste like banana Creamies and
the help my legs not cramp up, so I eat a lot of them.
Anyway, I love you all! I have a strong testimony that the
Lord knows us personally and he is looking out for us.
Love, Elder Barker
