It is hard to
believe that September is already over and that October is here! I bet the
leaves are starting to change! I think fall is the most beautiful season back
in Ohio. Nothing beats driving out to the church in Hiram and soaking in the
beauty of the changing maple trees driving down the big hill. Here in Belém,
the seasons do not change very much. There is sunshine with rain and then
sunshine with more sunshine. We are currently in "summer" or the
hottest part of the year. When it rains the heat just gets worse as it rises
from the ground and the sun shining down at the same time. Yesterday was hot...
the road was steaming! It looked like the hot air that comes out of the oven
when you open it. I think we might just have to try frying an egg on the
sidewalk today! I love the sunshine! :)
This week was
full of challenge and spiritual experiences. We have been working with an
investigator named Fabio and he is ready to be baptized. He was having a hard
time recognizeing his answer but with lots of prayer and discussions, he
received his answer. He aid that when he started praying, he felt like he had a
debt to be paid and that when he finished or asked for an answer, he felt as
though his debt had been paid. He then explained that he feels two types of
peace. A peace that he feels in three moments. At church, during our lessons,
and when he prays. It was an incredible conversation helping him recognize his
answer! The spirit wa incredible. Yes, he still needs to understand more about
the importance of baptism and enduring to the end, but he received his answer!
Peace!! One of the most powerful fruits of the spirit!
I love this
work!! I know I say that every week, but it is because that love grows each and
every week. I love my Savior so much and am so grateful for the power of
repentance. I am not a perfect missionary, but through his infinite grace, my
best efforts are enough.
Have a
wonderful week!
Love Always,
Sister Sender
