THIS WEEK WENT WELL. IT WAS PRETTY NORMAL, A FEW GOOD THINGS HAPPENED. EDIMILSON AND ZINHA ARE DOING GREAT, EVERYTHING IS SET (WELL AT LEAST THE WEDDING IS MARKED, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO ORGANIZE A LOT OF STUFF) FOR THIS SATURDAY WITH THE WEDDING AND EDIMILSON'S BAPTISM. WE ARE REALLY EXCITED FOR THAT, AND THE COUPLE IS VERY HAPPY, THEY HAVE NOTICED A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIFE (FOR THE BETTER) SINCE THEY STARTED GOING TO CHURCH AND KEEPING THE COMMITMENTS WE LEAVE WITH THEM.
WE ALSO STARTED TEACHING ANOTHER COUPLE, JUNIOR AND DAHLILA. DAHLILA'S BROTHER IS A MEMBER OF OUR WARD. SHE WENT TO CONFERENCE LAST WEEK, WE STARTED TEACHING HER AND HER "HUSBAND" DURING THE WEEK, THEY BOTH WENT TO CHURCH, AND LAST NIGHT WE MARKED THEIR WEDDING FOR NOVEMBER 5TH! DAHLILA REALLY WANTS TO GET BAPTIZED BUT JUNIOR IS A LITTLE MORE HESITANT. BUT WE HAVE SEVERAL WEEKS TO WORK WITH HIM STILL TO HELP HIM TO BE ABLE TO GET BAPTIZED WITH HIS WIFE. THEY ARE GREAT PEOPLE, THEY HAVE A LITTLE BOY WHO IS 2, TARSISIUS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I ENDED UP CHASING HIM AROUND THE CULTURAL HALL (WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE CHAPEL BUT BEHIND THE SEATS, SO IT WASN'T TOO DISTRACTING) DURING SACRAMENT MEETING SO THAT THEY COULD PAY ATTENTION. THEY'VE VISITED A LOT OF CHURCHES BUT BOTH OF THEM LIKED CHURCH HERE A LOT MORE THAN ANY OTHER. I LOVE TEACHING THEM TOO, BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH INTELLIGENT (AND THEY USUALLY MAKE US DINNER HAHA).
YESTERDAY WHEN THE 2ND HOUR IN CHURCH STARTED, THE TEACHER FOR THE GOSPEL PRINCIPLES CLASS DIDN'T SHOW UP, SO I ENDED UP TEACHING THE CLASS. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION OF THE OLD CHURCH OF CHRIST, BUT I DECIDED IT WOULD BE BETTER TO TEACH ABOUT BAPTISM. SO WE GAVE THE CLASS AND IT WENT PRETTY WELL. IRENE SITS IN THIS CLASS AND SHE PARTICIPATED AND BORE HER TESTIMONY A BUNCH SO THAT HELPED. SPEAKING OF IRENE, SHE'S GONNA GET MARRIED TO ISAQUE, HER MEMBER BOYFRIEND! ON NOVEMBER 19 THEY'RE GONNA GET MARRIED AND IN AUGUST OF NEXT YEAR THEY PLAN ON GETTING SEALED!
ALICE WAS CONFIRMED YESTERDAY TOO.
I MISS BEING ABLE TO CHAT ABOUT WHATEVER WITHOUT THINKING THAT I SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ELSE, I MISS THE FAMILY AND MOST OF ALL (NOT REALLY) I MISS CHINESE FOOD! HAHA THANK YOU, LOVE YOU TOO
