Weekly

So last pday was normal, Elder R. Santos packed up all his stuff, and left the next day. tuesday we taught a few lessons, and then that night had our first English class it went great! everyone loved it, so were gonna keep it going. wednesday, we spent the day in the elder Vanderwerffs part of valença. we taught some good lessons. we found a lady who was taught a few years ago, and she was almost baptized, she just needed to get married. well now she lives alone, and she wants to set up a day to have lunch wityh us, and start teaching again! 
Thursday, I had the best lesson of my entire life. It was with the lady who went to church the week before. We were struggling to find her house, we asked for directions, but nobody knew the road we were talking about. So we started walking down a random road, and as we passed a house, we heard someone yell ´´oi!´´ it was the lady! So we went in, and she said she was scared we forgot about her, because we were running a little late. but we sat down and started to get to know her. as we started the lesson, she started to ask some questions. when she went to church, she saw 2 people be confirmed, and receive the Holy Ghost, and she saw people get the preisthood. she asked ´´why do you guys put your hands on peoples heads and do that?´´ we showed her in the bible where it talks about that. she was amazed. She said ´´I've been baptized in 2 different churches, and nobody ever put their hands on my head and gave me the Holy Ghost.´´ We explained the Priesthood. At the end of the lesson, she said it all made sense, especially because it was all in the Bible. She also accepted to be baptized on the 4th of November. The spirit was very strong. we went back there on saturday to teach about the Book of Mormon. once again, she was very receptive and very excited. sunday, she brought her daughter to church, and she really enjoyed it. At the end of church, I talked to her, and she said on Tuesday she wants to talk to us about baptism. She said she wants to be baptized as soon as possible. She said she knows this church is true. She said she learned more from us in 1 week, then she learned in 14 years from other churches. This really showed me that The Lord truly has people that are prepared for His Gospel. 
so its really fun being here with and American companion. People just stare at us in the road, one guy called us twins, and a lot of people ask if we're brothers. A lot of people laugh when we walk by. But it's really funny. 
sorry, I dont have any pictures this week
