2-27-12 Carnaval is OVER!!

2-27-12
THANK GOODNESS CARNAVAL ENDED WEDNESDAY. IT WAS TOUGH AND WE LITERALLY DIDN'T GET ANY LESSONS TAUGHT ON MONDAY OR TUESDAY (EVEN WORKING THE WHOLE DAY) BUT THE REST OF THE WEEK WENT WELL.

THIS WEEK WE DECIDED THAT FOR SEVERAL OF OUR INVESTIGATORS WE NEEDED TO FOCUS ON REPENTANCE. MANY OF OUR INVESTIGATORS DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THEY NEEDED TO CHANGE ANYTHING OR THAT THEIR LIVES REALLY WEREN'T IN HARMONY WITH GOD'S WILL. WE HAD SEVERAL GOOD LESSONS IN WHICH WE HELPED PEOPLE TO RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN SINS. IT WAS GOOD BUT STILL NOT MUCH PROGRESS IN THE AREA AS A WHOLE. THE ONLY INVESTIGATORS AT CHURCH WERE CHILDREN... REALLY ANNOYING... WHY ARE CHILDREN SO MUCH MORE ACCEPTING AND EASY TO KEEP COMMITMENTS? I GUESS THAT IS WHY THE SAVIOR SAID WE NEED TO BE LIKE THE CHILDREN.

ANYWAYS WE HAD A GOOD LESSON WITH ANTONIO JUNIOR AND HIS WIFE ABOUT MARRIAGE, WHICH ANTONIO IMMEDIATELY ACCEPTED. ANTONIO HAD TO WORK ON SUNDAY BUT HE TOOK HIS 2 KIDS EMILLY (11) AND JUNINHO(10) TO CHURCH AGAIN, WHICH WAS COOL.  THERE IS SOMETHING WE ARE DOING WRONG, SOMETHING WE NEED TO CHANGE TO HAVE MORE RESULTS. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT SOMETHING IS!!!!!!!


LOVE YOU TOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING]
LOVE ELDER HOOKE
