A Lei de Castidade

This week we had to talk to Marlene about the Law of Chastity with her boyfriend. They've been together for only a few months and aren't really dating... Marlene's just really nice and is letting him stay with her because he has nowhere else to go but it's kinda turned into more of a relationship. SO we had already talked to Marlene about the Law of Chastity and planned out our lesson with her to teach to António. She really wants to be baptized. SO BADLY!
For example, she just showed up at the capela (chapel) to clean it because they needed more people to help. She loves the church. And she just switched jobs and is going to ask for Sundays off.
Anyways, António is actually already a member but was baptized when he was 10. We let him know super smoothly that they would either need to get married or live separately for Marlene to get baptized. So they have to figure that out. But Marlene told us that she has priority. She wants to get baptized and that comes first. Pray for her!!

What I'm so amazed about is how two 19/20-year-olds can teach two 40-year-olds who have already had tons of life experience about love. About chastity. In Portuguese. What. But somehow, we can do it. We did it. But it definitely wasn't by ourselves, pois. The Holy Ghost definitely guides us and Christ is with us in every step, every word, every action. I'm so grateful for that.
