Hey Everyone,
This week was kind of funny! Sister Johnson has like a pinched something in her back so she hasn´t really been able to walk and has been on "bed rest". But we still found some cool people. We went to this one neighborhood to knock some doors and we were just about to say a prayer and start knocking and all of the sudden we hear "sisteres" we looked around for a minute and then saw some guy on his balcony. We started yelling to him and told him to come talk with us but he yelled back that he smokes and drinks. We told him that´s ok and he should still come down. Well, he did and we were able to teach him. He was pretty funny. Then 2 days later we went back to knock doors because we never got to it and the first building we knocked we found like 4 more people! So we still can go back and knock the rest.
Well Aldina has not been keeping our appointments and finally she answered the phone and told me, "I figured out that you guys aren´t from my church. I really don´t want to talk with you any more" hahah. I think the 1st lesson went in one ear and out the other-I don´t know how she thought we were Catholic! But we talked with her a little more and convinced her to let us come back one more time. We will see how it goes.
Maria Elisabete oh man . I love her so much and she is adorable but she never keeps our appointments! She didn't come to church again. We are learning patience with her and I believe with time as she learns more she will be baptized.
The highlight of this week was that I got to go to the mission leadership council and we learned some great stuff! I really want to be more obedient and consecrated. I love seeing the example of other missionaries! Presidente explained that yes we have a lot of responsibilities as missionaries and as leaders but it doesn´t need to feel too heavy, because we have the Savior, and the Savior promises that his yoke is easy and his burden is light. The next day I decided to truly study that scripture in Matthew and felt an overwhelming sense of love from Jesus Christ. The real way we can come unto Christ is through repentence, and that is how our burdens are made light.
I am so glad Eli is doing better! I love you guys a lot!
Love,
Sister Emma Hulsey
