So this week just flew by as usual! I swear time is spead up times 5 on a mission I can't even believe it's P day already! Well a week from today is transfers AGAIN! I swear I just got off the train in Braga and it's already been 5 weeks! My mission will fly.
Well the bad news is that baptism isn't going to happen anymore. Can't go into details but someone basically talked them out of it and they're not interested anymore. It's a bummer feeling but maybe some day we'll be able to help them change their mind.Also we have still been teaching that Paulo guy. (The one that calls us prophets) We were actually talking about dropping him because he hasn't been progressing or taking anything seriously. We were teaching him the importance of prayer for the millionth time, and this time we decided we weren't backing down. It took a long time to get him to finally pray but he did it. He started crying and said he is a sinner of 40 years and that God will never talk to him. We explained that God loves him and placed him in our path not by coincidence. We saw such a change in him it was awesome! We talked for a while before the lesson about what scripture to leave him with but none were drawing our attention. Sister Gibbs said a prayer while we were teaching that she could think of a scripture to leave him and right when she flipped open the BOM she flipped to Enos. PERFECT! Was such a perfect scripture Heavenly Father totally lead her to it. He has stopped calling us prophets and is actually taking things seriously now. So glad we didn't drop him and so glad things are changing!
Oh man so there is a guy that lives here in Braga that makes covers for books and is amazing! Missionaries all over Portugal send their scriptures to him to get covered. Lucky for us we can just walk to him. So we got ours done and we got them back today! I will send a picture next week.
Anyway that is about all I have for you. Hope you all have a great week! Love you all
Sister Carroll
