this week started out AWESOME!!! my companion builded up all her courage and decided to call alexandre´s mom and just causually ask her if he could be baptized.
so we call and start talking to her and sister castro starts by asking if she´s okay with him visiting our church and she said ``of course!! its good for him to learn more about God`` so then sister castro asks ``and if he wants to be baptized...`` and then she said ``i think he´s a little young right now. but it thats what he wants-`` then we could hear alexandre in the background yelling ``I WANT TO!!`` haha so she gave permission and we were super happy!!!!!! and he stayed at his moms house for the rest of the week and got home yesterday night... so we visited him and he said ``yeah i dont know if i want to be baptized anymore...`` 😨 so we talked to him a little and it was because while he was at his moms he wasnt reading his scriptures, he missed going to church 2 weeks in a row and so his spirit was weak and he broke the law of chastity and now feels like being baptized isnt what he wants. RIGHT AFTER HIS MOM GAVE PERMISSION!! Satan is real, and when we stop doing those simple things, he will have a bigger influence on us. but then in the middle of the lesson his grandma called us to talk to her and she was so frustrated with alexandre and she goes ``all he talked about was being baptized and now that his mom gave permission he doesnt want to. i dont even know what to do.`` so she invited us to come over tonight to talk to him about whats going on. so everythings gonna be okay :) God is more powerful than Satan.
Doctrine and Covenants 10:5 Pray always, that you may come off conqueror; yea, that you may conquer Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold his work.
Alma 37: 46 O my son, do not let us be slothful because of the easiness of the way; for so was it with our fathers; for so was it prepared for them, that if they would look they might live; even so it is with us. The way is prepared, and if we will look we may live forever.
Never be slothful in doing the simple things!
Love you all!! thanks for all the support
tchau tchau!
