President Siedschlag visited our area this week
with his second counselor and the interviewed us and gave us all a great
training! We had 55 PEOPLE IN THE SACRAMENT MEETING--YES! Elder
Rodrigues and I had Pedro--he´s going to be baptized on February 2nd and also Ivanilda, a 50 year old lady that looks really young, kind of like mom--almost 50 but looks 39.
Thanks for the letter Lyle and Michelle and Grandma and Grandpa Allen and the Sorensen family--the letters WERE AWESOME!
This week was good but wasn´t
perfect. I saw several miracles, one being, a family that had decided to
not be baptized told us last night that they would be baptized---the
mother of this family told me that she prayed and fasted very much and
it was a great strength to my testimony of fasting and prayer. This
family is a mother and her two sons. The other elderes are responsible
for them and they should be baptized the beginning of February!!
We are teaching Pedro--he had a
dream about reading Alma 37!! We shared with him verse 6 and 7 and also
verse 37. He is elect and it is amazing to see the difference in a
person when they truly seek daily, keep a study journal and pray--he is
going to be baptized the 2nd of February! He will help a lot with the small, young leadership here in Araquaina--I´m very grateful for his example.
This week I gave a tie and a new Liahona to Rogerio--a 14 year old
young man that doesn´t have a ton of knowledge and about the priesthood.
I love that kid and the other young men here I´m grateful that I have
the opportunity to be associated with them. They strengthen me as much
as I am hopefully strengthening them. Well, sorry--I promise I´ll write
more next week. Love you all!
Elder Allen!
