Hello Family!! How is everyone doing today! I hope that you guys are all had a fabulous week and everything just went great, because here in Santa Maria, time I swear is just flying! I see the days just come and go by the blink of an eye and it's sad because we are already into week 4 of this transfer… its almost over…. Which means we are almost heading into the LAST transfer with president and sister Myrrha. But that’s enough of that… about this week it was another great week…
To start of this week, last Saturday, after I wrote, we had another baptism of Sabrina, and it was amazing! She was so ready to get ready and my president was the one that interviewed her and he said that it was one of the most spiritual interviews that her has ever done in the 3 years of being a mission president… it put it into perspective an interview usually takes about 20 minuets or so. But this interview was about 1 hour and 15 minutes long. I don’t know why. I didn’t want to ask because it's really none of my business, but he said it was one of the most spiritual experiences in his life, and he said that she is super ready to be a member of the Church! It made me feel good to help someone like that find the path of God, to eternal happiness and eternal life! There is nothing more satisfying than to see people in all white, entering the water and then leaving with a HUGE smile on their faces (a face like “wow so this is the feeling of being cleansed of everything I have ever done wrong in my life) is such an amazing opportunity that everyone in the world has, due to the atoning sacrifice that Jesus Christ did for us!
This week on Monday was also the birthday of Santa Maria so it was a pretty fun day! There was a lot of stuff going on in the center, which was fun! It was the 153 year birthday so it was a big one ha-ha! But ya…
Other than that good news, this week has manly been filled with a lot of calling to parents of the missionaries who are planning on leaving this transfer, and also preparing for president and sister because this week started Zones Conferences… the most hectic times here in the office…so other than preparing almost everything for pres and sis, I had to talk with a lot of parents in the United States and here in Brazil and hear the excitement in their voices when they hear the date and time when their sons and daughters are going to be arriving… it makes me a little homesick but it was kind of cool… the first one I was expecting it to do this to me… Elder Jones said that it always happens to the secretary the first time around but it just keeps getting easier ha-ha…. But ya so I called all the parents and the stake presidents of 11 missionaries. So trying to find the numbers of all them and then called them was super time consuming but it was fun! And also I was preparing all the information to buy the tickets going home for the next group that I will do this following week! So it’s been a crazy week….
So that’s pretty much what’s going one with the office and Santa Maria about the work it’s going really well! Actually I have a pretty funny story to tell… we were teaching this 19-year-old girl who was progressing really well… but her family is sooo catholic. They have the father come to their house and eat almost every night and stuff so we have talk with him and stuff and the mom teaches in the church, so quite frankly the family absolutely hates us…. Well I wouldn’t say us but they hate the work of the Lord…
So everything that happens in their house is our fault… for example… my comp was playing their the violin, the next day it broke. Ya our fault… we were sitting at the kitchen table one night and we left, a book of Mormon on the table. and guess what, that same night the glass table shattered hahahahahahahahaha, ya its was our fault… so long story short they said that we could pass by, but not teach anymore… its just amazing how sometimes the people are so blinded by strait up crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But with out a doubt the book of Mormon contains the power to shatter a glass table if it wanted to ha-ha.
Other than that we are teaching many people…. Its really good because we are teaching 3 really, really good families but not one is married… we are in the process of marring one but its going to take a little longer and the others they want to but they haven’t started! We will just continue it’s going to be a great week with teaching!
Also this week is zone conference! The last zone conference with president Myrrha. Super sad… its crazy because Pres Ribeiro already sent his calendar filled with the stuff that he is planning on doing when he gets here. Talk about a couple weeks filled with traveling and working, ah man, it will be a good but long month for him! So we will just need to help him as much as we can!
But family my time is up I know this Church is true and I love you so much! You guys are so amazing and have a great week ok!! Big hug and kiss!
Elder Wiscomb!
