Hey guys! Elder Fisher here with another week of miracles and funny moments. And the best way to write about them is to sit on a tree... i hope my legs dont fall asleep during this😅

Monday - PLAYING FRISBEE!!! WOOHOOO!! AND THEN.... buying over 200 reais worth of ice cream and pizza (no i did not pay for it all, but I was forced to pay a good chunk🫠)
 |
| Ice cream |
Tuesday - I dont remember much of this day besides having the elders come stay the night with us. Gotta say, I miss having 4 elders in the house or even 6 roommates in college (love you fellow roomies!! "FOR THE ROOMIES!", for those that remember😉)
 |
| Pizza! |
Wednesday - Zone conference! Some of the biggest take aways from our training were:
 |
| Zone conference [Mom note: Dev is right in the middle] |
1. Peixehino vs peixão (finding and deciding the people that are ready to recieve the gospel rn or no)
2. The 2nd question: "Do you know of anyone that is in need of help or a prayer or our message" to find those that are ready
3. The importance of inviting people to be baptized. It can happen anywhere, anytime, it just needs to be guided by the spirit and done with Christs words
 |
| Elder Platt!! |
After zone conference, I did a divison with Elder Platt in our area and put all of this to work! It worked really well and was really funny when we found someone that said God is everything and started talking about atoms. It was interesting... but also confusing😅

Thursday - Scripture for the day: Romans 8:35-39. Today we worked a lot on using what we learned at our zone conference and making our goals of 150 contacts, 10 batismal invites, 4 baptismal dates marked! Honestly, it is cool to see now how natural it is to talk about christ in situations (2 nephi 25:26) And also Vanessa was bpatized!

Friday - And now the title of this email...My ingrown toenail came back🤦🤦♀️🤦♂️ this time I made sure to get it checked sooner than later. All I will say is... it was big😅 the cool thing I learned today is what to do when I dont know what to say. We were talking to a revent convert that was in need of help and I didnt know what to share. I thought to myself first "I am a disciple of Christ" and then D&C 122:7-9 came to my head and it was what they need. It is remarkable to see how God knows how to guide us like that. Just trust in him!

Saturday - THE CAT IS BACK IN THE CHURCH!! After we finished cleaning the church and people left, a cat fell from the ceiling! Elder Lima and I tried to get it out with some...miner damages.... The cat may have peed on a chair out of fear....i had to wash a chair😂 while confirming people for church we ran into 2 people. 1 that asked us what the shortest verse in the bible is and the other that has been to every church in a vision. It was cool to converse with them and get to know.

Sunday - The power of pray and fasting. Elder Lima and I have gotten back in the habit to do fasts before church on Sunday and while I know that all prays and fasts will be answered, this time I saw responses in ways I didnt expect. I asked to bring our goal of 9 investigators to church and right before we started with our van, 3 kids called us asking when we would pass by. They ended up going to church! The other answer was to have someone feel the need to be baptized and it came true! Our friend Adreine finally was able to go to church and she had been having some struggles with God but I was told she gave a power testimony in relief Society and that she wants to get baptized next week!
