Thankful for blessings (2-29-16)

Well, we´re starting up the last week of the transfer now, it´s time to give it some gas so that we can finish out strong. This week was kind of hard. But definitely had some really strong points! Things are moving along slowly but surely here in Boa Vista. We had interviews with President Brum on Friday, and I won´t have many more interviews with him, he goes home in July. But it was really great, he had his general questions that he always asks to see how we´re doing, and he asked a lot about how is Elder Jeronymo, and the training going. Just gave me advice, helped show me what i can do better, these type of things. I asked him a few questions also. One being about how difficult it is to get Investigators to church on Sunday. He just gave me advice to try and bring more members to lessons, that this would help people to have a greater desire to go to church. I´m going to start putting even more effort into bringing members to lessons, actually, he gave us a challenge to double our lessons with members. The hardest thing here is getting our investigators to go to church, but I´m hoping that this will help in this area. As far as investigators go, we have 3 youth who have 15 years, and they´re really studs! I like them a lot. 2 are 7th day adventists, really smart(like to debate a little), but I think they have a lot of interest in the church. Another was invited by a girl to go to church, and has been going to another ward for about a month now, but he lives in our area, so we´re helping him to go to our ward, but he´s also super smart! He went to a church that had their own "prophet" but he came to find out that this Prophet was very false. He´s super prepared, we just need to help him to receive an answer through prayer. Actually, we have one more kid with 13 years, who´s really cool. We taught him for the first time last Saturday. The only bad thing was there was a drunk guy in the house while we were teaching him, but it was actually really funny... He just stared at us, he did try to make us leave, but the kid told him he wanted to hear us and to go lay on his bed. So what did the Bebido (drunk) do? Went and grabbed his bed and brought it into the living room.... Then layed down and in an instant was asleep. So, we taught the restoration with drunk man asleep on the floor. And by way of bebidos, were teaching 2, but I think they have a desire to stop and we´re trying to help them with that. Anyway, this week was really hard, I was a little down on myself and just felt really weighted. The god thing is that there´s things called blessings. I asked Felippe our Ward Mission Leader to give me a blessing Sunday, and it was a really neat experience to say the least. Needless to say, I´m feeling much much better now, and things are better in my life. The mission continues, and I´m prepping to do what needs to be done everyday! Elder Wyatt
