Teaching in Cubatão

It´s been another great week here in Cubatão! This week we were finally able to really start teaching people and it was awesome. I´m always amazed at how willing Brazilians are to let strangers into their house to talk about God. It´s really a blessing. It´s a little bit harder for them to actually apply what they learn, but that´s not uncommon.

Sister Torres and I are still trying to get to know all the members here, but we are slowly getting there. We´re receiving some member referrals and that is super exciting! When the members help, the work goes a lot better. Usually, friends of member have real interest and they already have a support system, someone to help them go to church, and someone to answer their questions right from the beginning. So, it´s super exciting.

This week, I had splits with the SLT, so I got to go back to Ocian for just one day. That was fun. I don't remember if I told you guys about Adenilton, but he is a man that I was teaching in Ocian. He has already finished the Book of Mormon I think and really is so sincere. Two weeks ago, he was baptized! And I got to see pictures of his baptism and that made me super happy.

Really the best thing about serving a mission is seeing the effect of repentance in people´s lives. People really can change and that is the gift of Jesus Christ for all of us. 

I didn´t take pictures this week...desculpa...but I know that I will for next time, because this city has some pretty cool views. It´s an industrial city, so there´s gigantic fires in the sky always. They say that if they go out, the whole city will explode.....I don´t know if I believe that, but who knows.

Love you all,

Sister Herron
