So one of my cousins served here in São João da Madeira and she asked us to go visit one of her recent converts. So we go to his house and he was there!! He was super super cool!! We learned that he got divorced and that only one of his two sons were living with him. He didn't have time for us to teach anything but he thought it was soo cool that I was cousins with the missionary that baptized him!! I'm so excited to bring him and his family back to church. He already has the priesthood and everything!!!
Yesterday, Sister Nagliati went on a division with a member and me and Sister Mavy went off to find people to teach. We were knocking doors for like two hours and no one answered apart from an athiest.. Then we knock a door, and this lady answered. We asked to do a prayer with her and she invited us in and introduced us to her husband. We talked about Christ and our families. They told us that one of their grandsons passed away before being born and that one of them has deficiencies. They were crying and we were able to testify that they would see their grandson again and be able to hold him in their arms. I haven't felt the Spirit so strong like this for a long time!! It was amazing!!
These past weeks, I've learned a lot about our will and God's will. If we really want to be changed and help further the work, we have to give God everything. If He has to change something, He needs us in His hands. He can't make us give everything to him. We have to do it ourselves and then He can make us the people he wants us to be. I think this is so amazing and I want to try to do this even more on my mission so I can change for the better and become more like my Savior!!
Com amor,
Sister Hillam
