It also rained rain. REALLY HARD! I forgot to take pictures but it was the kind of rain that even though we walked with umbrellas, we got soaked! haha. Catalão's sewage system almost couldn't take it. A major pipe broke and some people didn't have water for a couple days. Fortunately our water tank didn't run out before they fixed the pipe.
This week attendance at church was a bit weaker, but lots of people we have been working with came. We had some awesome experiences.
One day we talked to a 18 year old and marked to come back another day to talk to the whole family. As we walked away I think the Lord wanted us to go back to his house because all of sudden it started raining SUPER HARD! we were getting wet even with our umbrellas (which we now carry with us constantly) so we went back to his house to get out of the rain.
While we were there he told us about how a few people he was close to passed away, and how he thinks that we won't remember this life after death. We shared a short message using scriptures from the book of Mormon to show that since the purpose of this life is to learn and grow, it wouldn't make sense for us to forget all that. He was very interested in the Book of Mormon.
The next day we saw him and he told us about how he stayed up until 5am reading the Book of Mormon. He said he is halfway through!
Another time we went to teach a referal and she wasn't too interested. But her friend came and sat in the room. After the message we were about to say the prayer and her friend asked about the preperation to be baptized. She said she wants to be baptized change her life. We'll visit her this week!!!
So I know that the Lord guides us to the people that need to hear our message. Without a doubt he know who is ready to receive the missionaries and when we do all we can we will be constantly guided by his hand.
We're really excited for christmas because of the WEDDING!!! haha. Geraldino and Fernanda, a couple that have been coming to church for about a month now. So much is changing in their life since they started to live the Gospel. It's amazing to see how much better things got for them.
My companion Elder Badu was transfered! The members loved him a lot, he and his old companion were the first missionaries to get here in Catalão. I'll find out who my new companion will be at the Christmas Conference in Goiânia. We take the bus for 7 hours tomorrow, and the conference will be wednesday.
Love you all and a very merry Christmas to you!
Elder Wallace
