A New "chapel" in Sao Pedro! October 2014

Elder Müller and I found a full family that we are starting to teach. It was a rainy day and it was the evening quickly turning into night. But we decided to clap hands in front of one of the houses close to where we are teaching another family. The kids of the family answered the door (we thought on of them was the parent) so we entered and started talking to them. Later their parents showed up and everybody was happy to talk about how because of Jesus Christ and the power of the Priesthood we can be with our families for forever.

This week was great, hmmm, such is life, every week is great! :)

With Irmão Dion we talked a little bit about family history and he got really excited so we showed him family search and he showed us a bunch of old records of his ancestors that he had saved. It was cool.

There was also one lesson that we gave a blessing afterwards. Always, I am amazed how the Lord takes the time to guide the words of blessings. It truly is the words of our Savior Jesus Christ and not my own words. With this same family we just happened to have bought flowers the same day that we gave to them; the little present made them really happy and we also talked about how the Book of Mormon and Bible word together as if they were one book (like is talks about in Ezekial 37).

On Sunday President and Sister Parrela came to our branch to announce the new chapel we are having; it was cool because they got to talk with the people that came to church with us and got everyone super excited about the open house for the new chapel next week.

This week was busy because we had the inauguration of a new building where we meet for church in São Pedro! During the week we had our Zone leaders and the assistants to the President and a pair of sister missionaries that all helped out with the open house and giving out invites.

During the week we gave out more than 1200 invites to people (had stuff on the radio, etc...) and I talked so much that I lost my voice. It was cool at the inauguration because the new chapel filled up with people. One of the talks at the inauguration is how we believe in Jesus Christ and just want to share his love with people so that everyone can be happy; how we do this is the Church of Jesus Christ is by making covenants (promises with God) that are done by the priesthood authority of God that was restored through the prophet Joseph Smith.

Irmã Sissi and João liked the inauguration and got to talk with President and Sister Parrela a little bit which was cool.

Also, we talked with Irmão Dion and Irmã Fran a little bit about how when people are married in the temple that it is for forever and not just for this life. It is cool to see how excited they are about everything.

At church on Sunday there was nearly double the normal amount of people which was also cool! :)

Com muitos sorrisos! :) :) :)
