Batismo!! Ou não....

Bom dia meu povo!!!

Então, eu quero tentar de novo em só português, desculpe! Mas boa sorte! 

Primeiramente, Feliz dia do trabalho EU (estadas unidos)!! Espero que todos vocês têm um dia maravilhosa!!!

Esta semana foi um pouco difícil novamente ... Temos dificuldades em encontrar pessoas para ensinar. Ninguém quer falar conosco. É irritante! Mas esta semana foi melhor do que a semana passada. Tivemos um batismo para o sábado, caiu ... observado por Domingo antes da reunião, caiu ... voltou a marcar depois da reunião, caiu... super frustrante. Ela é muito boa, mas ela está realmente assustada de ser batizada e fazer coisas erradas. Entendo, mas essas coisas são normais, ninguém é perfeito. Todos pecamos. Mas, iremos lá esta semana e tentamos ajudá-la a se sentir mais à vontade com essa decisão.

Também, temos dificuldades com nossa recém conversos. Eles não querem ir por igreja, e sempre têm desculpas. E também eu acho que 2 são bebendo novamente. É tá muito triste... Eu não sei como ajudar eles, eu me sento inútil..

Mas eu tó bem! Aprendendo muito aqui. Essa semana eu tentei traduzir minha benção patriarcal, é realmente ajudar a aprender a gramática e coisas assim. E é tá super legal para ver e ler em português.

Mas só isso esta semana.

Oh, também eu presto meu testemunho pra vocês. Gente, eu sei com todo meu o coração que essa é a igreja veredeira e é a igreja de Jesus Cristo. Que Ele sofreu tanto para cada um de nos. E por causa Dele todos temos um oportunidade superar todos de nossas pecados. Sua expiação é infinita em todos os sentidos, amor, profundidade e tempo. Nenhum dos nossos pecados será ignorado ou esquecido. Ele expiou todos eles. Eu amo Ele com todo meu ser. Eu sei que com Cristo podemos superar qualquer coisa. Ele é nossa Salvador, e Ele é sempre conosco.

Amo vocês muito!!

Com amor,

Sister Moss

Baptism!! Or not....

Good morning, my people !!! 

So I want to try again in Portuguese only, sorry! But good luck! 

First, Happy Labor Day US (Stays Together) !! I hope you all have a wonderful day !!! 

This week has been a bit difficult again ... We have a hard time finding people to teach. Nobody wants to talk to us. It's annoying! But this week was better than last week. We had a baptism for Saturday, fell ... watched by Sunday before the meeting, fell ... re-scored after the meeting, fell ... super frustrating. She is very good, but she is really scared of being baptized and doing the wrong things. I understand, but these things are normal, nobody is perfect. We all sin. But we'll go there this week and try to help her feel more comfortable with that decision. 

Also, we have difficulties with our recent converts. They do not want to go to church, and they always have excuses. And I also think 2 are drinking again. It's very sad ... I do not know how to help them, I feel useless .. 

But I'm good! Learning a lot here. This week I tried to translate my patriarchal blessing, it really helps to learn grammar and things like that. And it's really cool to see and read in Portuguese.

But only this week. 

Oh, I too bear my testimony to you. Guys, I know with all my heart that this is the church, and it's the church of Jesus Christ. That He suffered so much for each one of us. And because of Him we all have an opportunity to overcome all of our sins. His atonement is infinite in every way, love, depth, and time. None of our sins will be ignored or forgotten. He atoned for them all. I love Him with all my being. I know that with Christ we can overcome anything. He is our Savior, and He is always with us.

I love you very much!! 

With love,

Sister Moss

Excerpts from other letters home...

~You know, it's funny you mention having to forgive people, we watched a movie yesterday and it spoke about the same thing. I don't feel like I haven't forgiven people. but I will for sure focus on that this week. 

~It's super cool that you guys are studying with the seminary students! I have learned to love the BOM so much already! most the time i don't really understand at first because i read in Portuguese, but it's super cool when I do understand. I'm truly learning the power the Book of Mormon holds. right now I'm studying in Mosias (yes still) I love reading about Alma and his courage to teach even though the King was seeking to take his life. It's inspiring and helps me know that I can teach through any difficulties. 

~So last week wasnt exactly a BBQ, we had American breakfast for lunch. but it was so good!! I love breakfast foods in the states!! we had pancakes, eggs, toast, juice, and fruit. It was soooooo good!!! Had lots of fun with the district!! 

~Church was good yesterday, it's frustrating when we have like 6 people tell us they'll go to church and then don't show. and even more frustrating when we have a baptism planned and she decides to go to the beach instead... (i guess I found the people i need to forgive). But it was really good. our investigators are being cut or cutting us left and right. It's like every week we start over with completely new people. it's like every week we reopen our area.
