GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!!!!
Wow. Where do I even begin with such an epic week? I´ll have
to be brief about everything to be able to give a good summary of this weeks
events.
This week was our week in Trio, We dropped E. Hamilton off
in Rio and spent the entire day traveling (Tuesday) We got back to work
Wednesday covering the entire city of Rio das Ostras, covering all of our own
investigators and those of Elder L. It was fun to be able to teach some of
my friends from the English class. We had an incredible lesson with a woman named
X from the English class. She is coming to church and this week heard
about baptisms for the dead and was left very doubtful. We went to visit her
and she asked us to explain for about it from the Bible. We gladly did so and
she began to weep and explained how she didn't believe we were going to be able
to show her. She began talking about the implication it would have in her life
and of those she loves if it were a true doctrine.
We worked until Saturday when we were to receive the phone
call about transfers. nothing. We went to church not knowing about the
transfer at all. We had so many of our investigators there , (mostly from the English class). We got the phone call finally at 6:20 in the evening that only
Elder L was transferred. We left Rio das Ostras at 8 pm and arrived in Rio at
midnight. We went to the support house (where missionaries from a far spend the
night) and no one was there. I. love. adventure. So that's how we found
ourselves in Rio Cumprido, a super dangerous part of Rio :D at midnight,
stranded. Luckily there is another missionary house nearby, we got things
figured out quickly and grabbed a taxi to Botafogo to spend the night. 20
missionaries in one house, 10 mattresses in total, I spent an awful night on the
floor.
Transfer meeting was yesterday bright and early. Junior from
Madureira was there, and we talked for a good while about the ward. Elder Evans
is returning to Rio das Ostras (I took his place when I arrived here) and its
going to be a great last 4 weeks! We had Famly home evening with Y (whom Elder Evans baptized) and his wife X and another family they are helping
to get to know the gospel. He freaked out when Elder Evans appeared. It was
AWESOME!!!
Today is Tuesday. Its downpouring here. We are going to
visit M and F to help them continue to grow and learn everything
they possibly can. Then some other investigators we have in our teaching pool
for the rest of the day.
Mothers day arrived so quickly, I hadn't even realized that
it was so near. We haven't really made plans yet because of all the transfer
drama. I'm sorry i don't have any information as of now. It will most likely be
after we have lunch on Sunday, 2:00-3:30 ish, also depending if we have to do
it one at a time and so on. When I get better details, I'll send an email
through the camera, with the time. (I'll try) If any problems, I log onto Skype
through Facebook, I'll send a message to you guys and well figure it out on the
spot. Just have FB open to be ready.
I love you guys soooo much!!!!!!!
Elder Siebers
