Things my companion has said this week that have stuck with me.
“I can’t be bothered … I’m unbothered … I’m unbotherable.”
“My dad is also good at maths” *she then had to spell it out cause I could not understand the word ‘maths’*
“Do yous have KFC over there? In America?”
“Do you know that one character in Harry Potter who looks like a witch?”
*after someone asks us not to come to their house again because their not interested* “Maybe they’re shy.”
“Você vai receber o Espírito Santos” = “You will receive the Holy Ghosts” *I still can’t work up the courage to tell her it’s just one Holy Ghost and not multiple*
“Let’s go knock at the blue house!”
Ok so that last one actually has a cool story with it. We had been knocking on doors for about 2 days straight and were having minimal success. We entered a street and knocked about 4 doors before I was ready to give up and head to the next street down. Sister Motuga goes over to said blue house and pronounces that she will knock. I, thoroughly not wanting to but also not having anything better to do, followed alongside her.
There we met Erika. She has recently been trying to come unto Christ by herself and with her husband and 3 kids. She’d been studying and reading a lot online and felt confused by the overwhelming doctrinal differences. She read about the Plan of Salvation and felt a deep desire to learn more about pre-mortal life and our mortal purpose. She prayed to have God send her a sign that she was looking on the right path.
About 3 hours later, we knock on her door. Since then, we’ve gotten to know her whole family, and are working with them to help build their faith. They have so many sincere questions and bring powerful spiritual insights from their own studies. It is truly a delight to teach such elect children of God. We were all answers to one another’s prayers.
Thanks for your prayers, we feel them, and see Heavenly Father answering them!!
Gotta blast, 🫡
Tchau Tchauuu
