Hey everybody! I think that Brazil maybe forgot about me, but I'm totally okay with that because I love Pueblo! I could just serve here for the next year, and it'd be fine with me! Although, thats probably not the case, its okay. I'm enjoying the time I have here. SO at the beginning of this transfer, the Zone Leaders said that Pueblo Zone was going to baptized 45 people this month. And our district would have 16 of those. Thats a pretty big goal, considering last month our zone had 13 total. I hadn't quite found the faith in this number, and I really needed to. We had an amazing district meeting on Friday, and I finally "caught the vision" as my zone leader would say. So friday night we felt good about going to visit this former investigator. Then in the morning we felt really strongly about going to her house. None of us had met her, but just saw she was a former who had been to church a few times. We visited her and she told us how weird it was that we showed up because she was just thinking about us and how she wanted to go to church this Sunday and how she really wants to dedicate her life to God. She came to church yesterday! She is totally prepared and ready to commit and we are really excited for her Baptism on April 29th! So there you go, the miracle ALWAYS comes after the trial of faith. And that faith doesn't come until you are obedient. I'm a little frustrated with myself for not truly figuring all of this out until my 3rd transfer, but better late than never!
Another miracle was we felt really good about going to see this Recent Convert. So we called him up and went over there, turns out his daughter was there who is taking the lessons in Missouri. She told us how the Elders that she loved just got washed out, and now they're putting sisters in and is really upset about it. But after we talked to her and taught her a little, she said she'd call the sisters as soon as she got home for them to keep teaching her. It was amazing! She realized that she needed to be converted to the church, not to the missionaries, and understood the reason for everything and we were able to help her be more comfortable with sister missionaries.
The other miracle was teaching David, who wants to get baptized, but is on parole until next February. He wants to learn morea bout Joseph Smith, so we watched the Restoration DVD with him. It was so amazing, and afterwards he bore his testimony on the Prophet, and how he knew it was true. He is so amazing and his baptism is going to mean so much, since he is changing his life so much! I can't believe how my testimony grows even more deeper every time I share, or watch, or read the account of Joseph Smith. Its ridiculous.
So things are pretty much going great! Not easy, but really great. Hard work always pays off. I love you all! Hope your week has been going great! Remember to keep the faith, and miracles will happen! :)
Love always,
Sister Pratt
