The Work Goes On

First off, sorry the email last week was short... my mind literally went blank while i was written.

But anyway, I forgot to tell you all about Joabe!! so it was about a week before his baptism and we were teaching him and after the lesson, Irmão Jeronimo (his girlfriends dad) said ``yeah its too bad we wont have a baptism next week.`` and my eyes almost popped out of my head and I basically screamed ``WHAT?!`` and Joabe told us that he is wanted to wait a little longer but he wouldnt tell us why. So the next week (week of his baptism) we visited him again to see what was going and it turns out that theres a commandment that he isnt quite ready to live and after we explained about the atonement and read some verses with him he told us that he thinks its better if we give him some space for awhile for him to think about what he really wants. So thats where we´re at with Joabe.

and now Rodrigo.... we taught him the Restauration again (he has lots of questions about priesthood and Joseph Smith) and after the lesson we explained a little more in depth about the Holy Ghost and how we recieve answers to our prayers and we told him he`ll feel peace and whatnot and then he goes ``one time i had a dream and i felt super peaceful during it..... i was standing the middle of a lot of water`` and my companion screamed. hahaha it was super funny. But it truly is amazing how much the Lord has been preparing Rodrigo to recieve the Gospel. We´re working with him to be baptized on october 31. :0

Thanks for all your love and support!!

love you all!
