Happy Easter

Só nos milagradas do Pai [Only in the miracles of the Father]

One more great week has come and gone. This week was amazing. I'm not sure if it's Heavenly Father showing me that He is accepting my mission or just prayers being answered, but so many amazing things are happening in the area.
Let's start off with Camilla. She is not a lady she is a Moça [girl] of a young lady. She is 15 years old, and it was amazing to baptize her this week. Elder Pinhiero baptised her and was so nervous that his hands were trembling and he said the prayer wrong so the ordinance had to be done twice. haha But still, it was so amazing to see her transformation. She is studying the scriptures like crazy and is loving every minute of being a member if the Church.
OK OK... now for the miracles.
A few weeks ago we baptized Cirlandia. Actually the plan was to baptise her and her husband Jamilson as well. But he got cold feet and just started to be all lame and reject our visits. He stopped hearing our lessons. But this last week, I think it was Wednesday, we finally got the chance to talk to him and really invited him to pay good attention and count the blessings of the Lord in his life. To just focus on receiving an answer as part of the whole deal. Then Friday we stopped by just to see how things where going and he starts to cry. This is a big guy like Dad, and he basically told us how he had received an answer that the Church is true. Then after that he screamed "I'm gonna be baptized!!!" It took both me and Elder Pinhiero by surprise, but he gave us both a huge hug and lifted us both up. Then he said, "So, can I baptized on the first?" I was like, "Uhhhh ya!!!!" It was just amazing. It was just like Camilla, we just left him in the Lord's hands. Also, Valeria, she will be baptized on the first as well. She is the most elect person ever. You teach it, she obeys it. She lived in Andre Carloni when I was there but I didn't find her there. Now she moved here and now I found her, haha The Lord works in many mysterious ways. :)

I love you guys,
Elder Manis
