Hello family and friends!
This week was pretty decent, I had some fun adventures while
on a division ["divisions" are when two companions split for the day and pair up with a different companion] this week in the other half of Itaboraí, which including [this made me laugh, has he forgotten how to conjugate English verbs?] seeing
an ostrich, getting swarmed by mosquitoes and teaching some really poor
people.

While on division, E Van W and my companion taught
X. She has already received an answer that the Book of Mormon is true and
we've been trying so hard to help her take the next step on faith. She's having
some serious issues letting go of the church and relationships that she has
grown to love in her other church. The Elders said they had a super spiritual
lesson with her and she accepted to be baptized on the 27th. When Sunday came
around she didn't show up, we went to pick her up, no luck and we called her
several times with no success... really depressing, but we'll get a hold of her
this week and find out what's going on.
In other news, an awesome family from Rio Bonito is helping
some people come to church. It started off as one lady, she brought her friend
last week, and the friend brought her mom this week. We went and had an FHE there last night and we taught the restoration. They all are loving the church
and expressed that they have fought depression for most of their lives. They
heard many people saying [he did it again!] to find a church to help and they never found a place
that relieved the pain. They both said that in the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, they found peace and solace. They finally found a place that
relieved them. They accepted a date for the 4th of October, we just need to help
them prepare for that day now!
Life is good as for now! Just another week ahead of us, full
of walking, learning and teaching!
It's Volleyball pday and rocking my comps HUGE tie!
Love you guys so much!
Elder Siebers
