This week was so sweet! We are having so many miracles happen! So we have been working alot with the members because this is an area pretty well-off financially. So knocking doors doesn't work very well. So we decided to put into practice a sweet program that I had heard about. And its working so well. So we asked the bishop to pray and choose a family in the ward for us to work with. Then we work just with this one family. We went there and gave a super spiritual lesson and then while the spirit was there, they wrote down the names of EVERYONE that they know that isn't a member. Then we prayed and they picked a way to talk to each of these people about the church (ex: invite to church, give book of Mormon, give an Ensign, Family Night, etc...) Well this family that we are working with are so excited and brought a bunch of friends to church this past Sunday. We also had a couple of people that other members introduced us to at church. It was so awesome! We had 12 investigators at church on Sunday... So there are 4 families where the parents need to get married 1st, but there are also like 5 people that should be ready to be baptized in the next 2 or 3 weeks if everything goes as planned. Its so crazy! The whole ward is getting excited now about doing missionary work!
This week I found out that there is a bowling alley in our area!!!!!!! So we went bowling today for PDAY! It was the worst 2 games that I've ever bowled in my life, but it was so fun. Its amazing how out of practice you can get after 1 year and 7 months. But it was a blast, then we went to Burger King. And the guy at the cash register hooked us up! So usually for 2 people its about 42 reais. But he gave us a huge discount and it was only 25! So right about now I'm one happy camper!
That's about it for this week!
Love,
Elder Schoen
