Testimony

My Dearly Beloveds,
This week, the enemy has worked hard to thwart us, but we have risen conquerer.
One of the first frustrations that we confronted this week was that we were having our second visit with an investigator about the authority of the priesthood, and about twenty minutes into the lesson a group of the young adults of her church (including the young adults leader) showed up to visit. For me it was a very tense situation, because some of the people there we people that we had taught on previous ocasions and they had rejected the message of the restoration. I´m happy to report that no Bible bashing occured, but the lesson didn´t end on a very spiritual note, because the conversation turned what people like to put in their milk.
Sunday had it´s share of miracles.
We left the house early to hunt down our investigators, as usual. We passed by about four houses and no one was home, or couldn´t go. We got to church, praying that some of our investigators had arrived. We found out that two investigators had shown up, and our joy was great! I had tried calling our other investigators that hadn´t shown up yet, but they hadn´t answered. I waited a little bit and tried calling again. I was able to get through to Ana Flavia and she said that she wasn´t coming, because it was raining and she didn´t have a car. I was tired of settling for excuses, so I grabbed one of the brethren who had a car and we picked her up. I thought to myself that maybe one of our other investigators might have the same excuse, so we picked her up too.
During the testimony meeting Ana Flavia was touched by the Spirit and felt impressed to bear her testimony. It was her first time at church too!
Milagres são reais!
O Tempo acabou.
Love,
Elder David Short
