I don't know if you all know yet, but I really love Harry Potter! So sorry about all the references, hahaha! This week I am finally starting to understand the work and understand this new world that I've been placed in. The people aren't all speaking gibberish that I don't understand, at least not ALL of them are! I can slowly, very slowly respond now!. Elder Shawkey and I have some investigators now and they are so full of hope. We marked 3 baptisms this last week and we are hoping to keep them all set. Two of them are boys ages 10 and 12 who really really want to be baptized and are super smart, but we have to get permission from the parents who are both very set in their ways. The other baptism we have set is for a mom of a member who we love sosososo much. She is the nicest lady and is always smiling when we teach. Her family is super excited for her to get baptized and it is amazing to be part of that happiness too! God loves all his children in a way we cant comprehend and as a missionary I get a very small taste of that love for the people we are serving. The language is coming along and the gifts of the spirit are very real! I can testify of the gift of tongues and all it has done the past 2 weeks for me here in Natal. I can speak Portuguese more now than I ever thought was possible. I can understand about two thirds of what everyone is saying around me. I've only been here 2 weeks and there is no way I could do this without the help of the Holy Spirit. This is the best work in the world to be apart of! I am so glad to be apart of this magical world. Hope everyone has a great week!
Here are some pictures from the week!
