The only thing I remember from Tuesday was that it was long, tiring, and very unsuccessful. I am pretty sure we found everyone in this place that doesn´t want to hear our message. So many people always say ``I think your work is beautiful, this world needs more missionaries like yourselves to preach the things of God.´´ and so we ask if they would like to hear our message and they say ´´no, I am good, but everyone else needs it besides me...´´ goodness it is frustrating até o pó. It was like that in Palmas too. At least the people that denied us. Tuesday we also had a family night at the house of a recent converts and that family is pretty sad. The husband and wife live in the same lot as there drugged up son and one of them always has to stay home to make sure he doesn´t steal there stuff to sell it. But the family night was really good. The wife shared the spiritual message and it was the first one she has ever given. So it was a success.
Wednesday was the complete opposite of Tuesday and everyone was super receptive. The area we worked was really cool as well, it reminded me a lot of palmas and we had some success there. Wednesday night we went and got pizza again with a member that is preparing for a mission. People, I can´t describe to you enough about how delicious the pizzas are here... The 4 of us have a problem and always talk each other into going to get pizza. I am loving it.
Thursday is the day we teach seminary and it sounds like you all had some questions about that. So we teach seminary in the house of a member. We actually taught in the backyard this week under trees with a light hanging from a branch. It was cool. We teach a recent convert family that is super awesome and a few investigators and members. Every week we choose a topic to teach and all take turns teaching. It is actually really awesome because the bishop helped us out and called the mom, Liley (recent convert of like 4 months. Her house is where we teach) as the seminary teacher and they are trying to get seminary started up for reals here! I am super excited about it. I always loved seminary and institute and am glad the youth here will have a chance to go now as well.
Friday was a normal day of work and the only exciting thing that happened was that we did a group fast with the recent convert family. The family consists of Antonio (only one not a member) Liley, and their 3 daughters. Ligia 16, Julia 15, and Bia 13. These young women are so awesome. Bia already read the book of mormon in 3 months and bia and julia are working really hard on there personal progress. Its so cool to see them progressing so much. But we started a group fast with them and it was super spiritual. Super cool experience for sure.
Saturday was interesting because I attended my first New Beginnings. We went because we took 3 young women to it. The new beginnings thing was in jardim inga so we took a bus there late in the afternoon and when we got there everything was pitch black. All the lights in the city were off. It seemed so sketchy walking to the church because it had to street lights or nothing. When we finally got to the church they were already started and speaking in the dark with only security lights on. Lucky after about 20 minutes the lights turned back on and they finished without problem.
Yesterday was awesome because I love sundays on the mission. Church was really good and we confirmed Priscila a member of the church. Our priesthood meeting was soo good. We have this one guy in our ward that should be an apostle and he was just preaching the whole time. The spirit was so strong and all of us left there talking about how much of a legend he is. Yesterday night Priscila made us dinner and we watched the testaments with her and Lileys family. It was a good way to end the week for sure. Happy and full. ha
But yeah, everything is going good here in Luziânia. love you all. Have a good week!
com amor, Elder Patterson
