Jardim do Sol- Week Four

This past week, we were back at it again. We had a lot of work to do and we got a lot of it done.

Our zone had the opportunity to go to the temple this past week. It was my first going inside the Curitiba Temple. It is super beautiful and it was a good opportunity to recharge a little after a tough week. I had a chance to see some of my other missionary friends and receive some personal revelation.

A highlight of the week were that we started teaching a gentlemen and a lady from Haiti. (In our area we have a large population of Haitians and they have lots of mini communities.) We were dealt an interesting challenge because neither of them speak really good Portuguese. They only speak the native Haiti language Creole. It was a very crazy experience to teach the Restoration. We are doing our best to help them understand. They awesome thing is they come to church even Sunday, besides the fact that they do not even understand Sacrament meeting or the classes. Imagine sitting three hours of church and not being able to understand. The miracle is is that they come almost every Sunday.

Yesterday, we had a super good Family Home Evening with a member family and a investigator. We ate, played a super cool game, and taught the Restoration and the investigator was pretty excited.

Thank you all for you love and support. I love being a missionary and besides all the challenges we have, there is always a bright side to everything to keep us going. I love being a representative of Jesus Christ, someone who has felt His love and the difference that He makes in our lives.

Love and miss you all.
