Blonde in Brazil: Nov 3, 2014

Sometimes you only have 12 weeks left in Brasil.

So, this week, i forgot my planner. HA. So i can´t remember hardly anything.

BUT i do remember that we had a few miracles and an awesome activity!

Our activity, should i tell you? It was the journey of the yellow submarine. There was a game of Q&A, and a few choices they had to make.. Then they all died. and were told which door to go into. Celestial, Terestial, or Telestial. Was super cool! Afterwards we had hot dogs:) I love hotdogs. Also, one of the choices was fruit or chocolate, and because chocolate is SO much easier to choose, we got to take home a TON of fruit! haha yay for us!

Our miracles this week, we were knocking doors, and Sister Santos was talking to this young man, and he said, oh no, sorry but we got to the Mormon church. -what?- ahaha we´re from the "Mormon" church! haha. He said his parents go every Sunday, but i dont know them, so i dont know haha. But he said he isnt baptized! "Sooooo wanna be baptized?" :P But we are going to start visiting them! It was way cool to find him:)

Also yesterday, a man, Manoel, was walking around, looking for a church, and found ours! Saw the sign "Visiters Welcome" thought oh good! And walked in just in time for Sacrament Meeting! He just cried and cried, and told me, "This is the house of God" IT was really cool:) He is from the North East part of Brazil and just working here. He really liked the meeting and will come back next weekend for all the classes:)

I have such a strong testimony of this church. It IS the church of Christ and people are drawn to it! Christ really did die for us, and live again, so that we too can live again. I know that our Heavenly Father is a just, loving, and caring God. Our families can be eternal. The Book of Mormon is the word of God and the proof that His church is again on earth. My heart literally aches when people lose their faith and their testimony. We can´t give the adversary the inch in our hearts. I know that faith is the first principle of the gospel, and knowing that, i know that we need to use it, a lot, in this life. We are so blessed to have the Priesthood on the earth again, the true, and complete church of Christ, and the Book of Mormon. Who doesn´t want more of God´s word? I love you all! Can you believe it´s November? All the stores here are already decorated for Christmas. Aaahhh!:)

Love love love you! Sister Holden
