So this last Saturday
night was daylight savings here in Brazil United
States
This week I received the
package that my family sent for my birthday. It only arrived, I think, three
weeks late so I was happy. One of the things they sent me was a no-bake
cheese cake (the mix, the cake made wouldn't make it). Since we had some other
Elders visiting us and one of them was American, we decided to make it that
very night to commemorate. It was a good thing that is was a no-bake
cheese cake because the hose that connects our gas can to our oven went bad. If
you didn't know that gas hoses go bad you’re with everyone else, even the Brazilian
missionaries, until the Mission President's wife told us it happens. The only
real problem we encountered while making the cheese cake was that pie
plates/tins are not something you will find in a missionary house. But we
figured it out, as shown in the included picture. Overall it went very
well I would say in comparison with the number of problems I encountered while
making biscuits.
We also had a baptism
this week. Her name is Enizete. Her husband died recently so she when she heard
about the Plan of Salvation and that
families can be eternal she was all for it. I believe I have already told
a bit of her story but I would just like to talk about one of the things she
said to us on the day of her baptism. She said that even now she doesn't
accept the death of her husband and she just sees it as he went on a journey
and one day she'll meet up with him again. I think the only thing I would change about
that statement is that it is not he that is on a journey but her. All of
us are on a journey and one day we will all go home. I have never heard a
recent-convert understand the Plan of Salvation so well. It was really a
pleasure to teach her.
I hope you all have a
good week. I did. I love you all.
