It took about 2 hours to clean the baptismal font because the pump stopped working and we had to empty old water by buckets into the toilet. It was pretty brutal work, but it was a great baptism!
Lets see....
This week was absolutely incredible. One of the best weeks of my mission. One of, or possibly even the hardest week of my mission as far as work goes. First off, Joao Batista was baptized Friday and Confirmed Sunday. He is doing MARVELOUS. I am so proud of him and so marveled to see the difference in his life, in his attitude and countenance because of choosing to follow Christ.
My companion broke my camera while taking selfies, having taken it out of my bag without permission. Now im cameraless....but anyway,
We had interviews with President this last week. It was AMAZING. As a companionship we first had an interivew together, and did a practice lesson and it was AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! It was so spiritual. Afterwards in our personal interview President went on and on and on about how proud of me he is and how he has watched me grow over the last 5 months. He thanked me for being an example to others and complimented me A LOT on my Portuguese. He said Sister Wainwright....how did you learn to teach the way you do to bring the Spirit so strong. I said.... my parents. He hinted that I will become a Sister Leader Trainer in this next transfer...Because my area will be closing to Sisters and opening for Elders. WOW! Second area of my mission and second time I'm leaving it for Elders...not sure what that says about me haha. But in all sincerity.... I'm so happy after that interview. I asked President...o que voce pensa de mim como uma missionaria... what do you think of me as a missionary? He said Sister Wainwright... from the day you arrived I knew you were going to be an excellent missionary, and you proved me wrong. You are more than an excellent missionary. You are constantly improving. You see where you need to improve, and then you DO it. You have initiative, you have drive, you are diligent and you work hard. You are moldable and you are HUMBLE. Je called me HUMBLE. No one in my life has called me HUMBLE before. I DID IT!!! hahaa. Are you proud of me, mom? :)
By the way happy 6 month anniversary for me. In EXACTLY 1 year from today I will be back in the USA. YIKES!
