Photos: Beautiful Uruguaiana and The District on P-day!
Coisas estão melhorando!
Alright alright, so can you guys pray
that the time will slow down! It is flying by super, super fast. This week we
found more success, which means the time flew by even faster! Sometimes I don’t
like this rule...ha-ha!
So this week went a lot better than
the others. Elder Silveir and I had a good talk and we are going to change some
things in our way of working. The following day we saw some great changes take
place in the area.
We have been working a lot with 2
girls that want to be baptized this week. Their dad is a member, but the mom
isn´t and she doesn´t want to change yet. But she likes us a lot and is always
inviting us over to have dinner with them. The 2 girls, Luisa and Laticia,
remind me a lot of Amy, they are a little quiet but very sweet and they will be
baptized this week! It should be a great baptism! I am excited! :)
We had a good activity in the ward
for the youth and it went well! I was in charge of the Ping Pong, so I was able
to play a little. :) Here in Uruguaiana the youth are a great force, which
makes the activities very fun and productive. The wards here have a great
capability to grow a ton!
Last week we ran into two sisters
that are very cool. We taught them the restoration and they loved it and seem
to understand and desire to learn more. I think they will progress.
We taught our beloved Carlos again. He
still is an emotional wreck but we are taking those baby steps! That´s who he
reminds me of! The guy from that movie “What about Bob” Haha! But no…the lesson
we had with him went very spiritual and it helped him a lot. We talked about
the Atonement. :)
On Friday we were walking in the
street and a lady with two baby kids pulled up in a car and called me over. She
asked if we were from the Mormon Church and I said yes. She asked if we could
visit her and her family for they don’t have a religion anymore and want to
learn more! ELECT!! So with an overwhelming happiness we got her address,
number and we marked a day to return, which is today! So pray for us tonight! :)
This weekend was stake conference
here as well. Seems like Presidente Parrela is keeping me in the areas where
they will have stake conferences, because I think this is my 4th this year…haha!
The conference went very good and Presidente Gonzage was there from the area
70. Sunday we taught a guy that is elect and already has a son baptized, so we
will work with him. And we have Ruth and Gabriel that are praying about baptism
next week! :)
As you guys can see the work is
speeding up and it is a great blessing! :) I love the work and I know it´s
true! Every single day my testimony is being fortified and growing. I love the
Lord!
Mom, I hope the trip went great for
you and Dad! From the pictures it looks like it went fantastic! Going to Puerto
Vallarta as a family would be awesome! :) Great to hear Amanda and Shaye had
great talks Sunday and that Emme is staying crazy! The work is going a lot
better here…not to much that went wrong this week. You can pray for our
investigators Luisa, Laticia, Ruth, Gabriel, Igor, Patricia and Tiago! :)
Dad, you are right about the
blessings that we have for living in the states. After so much time away from
the states I don’t remember exactly how it felt, but clearly things there are
much nicer, cleaner, and calmer. I still love Brazil and for sure will visit
here after the mission! :) The humidity is a problem at times, but now it is
hot HOT so things dry up quick. Also, we have a lot of wind here so that means
dirt in our eyes, dirt in our shirt collar, but also a nice breeze in the shade
to help keep us cool. I have only seen a few monkeys here, but out in the
jungle I hear their are a ton. At times we can here them screaming like giant
beasts, but usually the tiny ones make the big noise. Ha-ha! Oh, and It is
GREAT to hear about the U!!! :) Go UTES!!
I love you all! :)
Elder Hauck
