Annnndddddd.....
We are being flooded with baptisms. This is the first time in my mission that we have been baptizing each week without stop. It's been over a month now of people flocking to the font. It's a rather nice breather I would say.
I feel as if Heavenly Father is sending this success to remind us that after the tribulation and patience come the blessings and success. We like it!
We have another transfer in just 2 weeks. Ill probably keep on keepin' on with Sister Morse because we got together on a mini transfer. She's really great. It is SO DIFFERENT to have an American companion for the first time. I'm having to teach her the fundamentals of living in Brasil. How to cook, do laundry, not get hit by cars, to experiment all the fruits and vegetables..
I had an experience with a woman named Joelma. We start teaching her. And look, she's never been taught by other missionaries or went to church before. But we start teaching and everything just starts clicking.... you can literally see that light in her eyes with the excitement of what we were teaching. She's getting baptized next week.
The Lord really does prepare people. When we live in a way to be worthy of the guidance and promptings of His Spirit, we really will begin to see miracles happening as we are obedient and follow him. Something we must understand is that missionary work is not about baptizing anyone left and right but looking for those that will actually inherit the Celestial Kingdom. We are all in a sorting process in this life. Our actions will define our eternity.
I have a million more things to tell you but I am out of time.
Love you all,
Sister Wainwright
