Well, things were a little different this week. Elder
Imperador and I were still able to work a lot, but the World Cup has
started here. President Souza ordered all the missionaries here to stay
in the house during any of Brazil's games, or during any game that they
have here in the stadium in Fortaleza. This week Brazil had their first
game, against Croatia. The whole city was literally dead for about two
hours. Except for the unanimous roar of every single person alive here
whenever Brazil scored. Yeah, people like their soccer here.
Elder Imperador and I are finding a ton of families that are
really excited about the gospel, but literally every single one of them
are not married! This isn't too common, but since our area is a little
poorer than the rest, many people here are not married only because of
financial issues. However, we have two marraiges coming up soon! Vitor
and Naiane are going to get married (whooo!!!), and we were able to
convince Epitacio (finally!) to get married to Regina. I'm super excited
for this! Their marraige will be a real strong testimony of prayer.
Literally Regina and all the kids (Gustavo, Larissa, Emily, and Felipe)
have been praying for months for the Lord to help Epitacio accept
marraige. Regina has been wanting to be baptized for a long time now,
and finally the way is opening up to allow her to acheive this goal! I
am one hundred and one percent sure that these blessings are starting to
arrive in Regina's life because of her diligence in prayer. I've
already seen many fruits of prayer myself, and it's even more wonderful
to see God responding to the prayers of my investigators.
