Taking away the sink I broke in our apartment last monday... So I went to put up the 20 liter jug of water and the support fell.. Our fiberglass sink and the dishes on it.... "Já era!" it was nice to have a sink while it lasted... Anyways I've contracted our investigator that's going to get married to help us fix it. It'll actually be pretty cheap to fix after I buy another cheap fiberglass sink!
Church was awesome... haha. we ended early (which nobody will complain about right? haha) because it was fast and testimony meeting. Very spiritual. We had a grand total of 8 members and 23 VISITORS!!! 14 that can be baptized. The investigators were like, "where are the members?" haha. We even had some come early and the left because they thought they were mistaken about the address!!! There wasn't anyone to welcome them at the door because the members were setting up the chairs still. :( but we'll talk to them this week. It's pretty easy to get people to church. the hard part for us has been to get them to progress towards baptism.
Also this week we were walking to an appointment and we were a bit early. I stopped and looked at a corner store for a bit... Then I went in to invite the cashier to church. There was a guy drinking a coke at a table but I didn't pay much attention to him. Then he called us over. He told us he had felt an amazing calm the moment we walked in, a peace that was incredible. He asked if we could visit his house and we were happy to oblige!
When we went to his house he said he had been watching a clip of Jesus walking with the apostles, and he thought about us and said he knew we were true representatives of Jesus Christ.
His name is Fausto and his wife has a great desire to be baptized. We'll challenge them to get married so they can be baptized together.
It was amazing to see the difference that the spirit makes in our lessons. We've been trying hard to convert people and not just baptize them. It's tough but I know it will make the difference here in Catalão in a few years.
Love you all! Merry Christmas! (I know we've still got a while haha.)
