Feliz dia de liberdade nas estados unidos

Bom dia!!! Boas festas!! Feliz dia de liberdade nas estados unidos!!!

I´m wearing red and blue today :)

This was a week of prayer and prayer and more prayer! The last few days of the missão Portugal Lisboa and the first few days of the Missão Portugal!!!!
We as a mission have a mission prayer every day at 10:55 am, where we as a mission pray to find the electin all of our areas. Today when we prayed, it was as one mission in Portugal and I felt the powerfulness of the Lord´s hand here in Portugal!! Now we are united as a country, it is a really neat experience! President Torgan is helping many miracles take place here. The Lord has a special purpose for the people or Portugal!!!
So, this week we were praying a lot and we saw a lot of miracles! Here in this area, lots of investigators ahve been to church. One suggestion of our leaders was to make a list of all the people in our area book that have been to church, and to pray about the list and ask Heavenly Father who is ready to be baptized. At the conclusion of making the list, there were about 50 people, who have been to church in the last 5-6 years, at least one time. This is incredible! So, we prayed about our list and felt some different people, but no one really forte. So we started contacting everyone on the list. Most of the people didn´t answer, some moved, numbers no longer work... so then we started passing by the houses of the people we felt. We contacted one family that is really incredible, just that there is a deep influence of some members who are strong in the catholic faith.
Then we visited another house, they let us enter and pray with them. At the conclusion, a friend who had been visiting said that he had known the missionaries since he was 8 in brazil, about 15 years have passed, but he remembered the missionaires. We later felt that we should contact him again, but not yet ahve been able to...
then saturday night we were in the capela praying and when we finished, the elders called to give us some help about what to do. we told them that we felt this lady Emalaine was ready to be baptized, and he told us to pray until we had a certeza in our hearts that she was the person that the Lord had prepared to be baptized. We felt it in our hearts, then we went to her house and we prayed with her, inviting her to ask the Lord if it was His will for her to be baptized. In the end, she still didnt feel, because she doesn´t want to make some sacrifiices that are necessary to be baptized.
After that experience, i thought about sacrifice, and how conversion takes sacrifice. Each of us have to make sacrifices in order to test our faith.
Please pray for George who will be baptized on Saturday. He has the desire to know that this is the true church and he wants to start his life over again. THis is the church of Jesus Christ on the earth today!
It is so amazing to hear the news that Brianna Forman was baptized!!! What an amazing thing to hear, someone i have known almost all my life enter the waters of baptism!
That´s what it´s all about!!!
