Hello Family!
This past week was soooo long. We almost baptized Lucas but he was at his dad's house in Parana (another state in Brazil that Ourinhos is super close to) so it didn't happen.
The talk went well but i didn't look at the clock and accidentally took too long so the guy after me only had like 12-13 minutes instead of 19-20.
On Wednesday, we had the activity at the church and we did a really fun Noah's Arc activity and made everybody act as animals getting into the arc. They chose animals at the beginning of the lesson without knowing why and then later we told them they had to be that animal and enter the arc. One girl even chose a fish! It was great (It's debatable if fish needed to enter the arc or not because maybe fresh water fish needed to have a tank on board because there would only be salt water I guess).
This Wednesday we won't be giving the lesson but we are going to offer an English class before the activity to try and get more people, especially investigators, in one smaller area and have lots to do there. We have a few people but they are all spread out and so we have to choose which area we'll go to each day.
This next week we will be going to Londrina for a dermatologist and I'll go to another eye doctor while we're there to have another opinion other than the terrible on here in Ourinhos.
Also tonight, we're heading to Marilia for our zone meeting tomorrow-we won't be back until tomorrow night. So our numbers will probably be pretty bad this week. The important this is that we won the competition the past two weeks against the sisters and now they will buy us acai!
Have a great week, I'm out of time, I gotta go!
Elder Haws
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall follow the Son, with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent, repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Father that you are willing to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism--yea, by following your Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to his word, behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost; yea, then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost; and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels, and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel." 2 Nephi 31:13
