Sorry, I am sending this a day late because my companion and I got back from a P-day activity too late to send the rest of our emails and so we are here this morning...
This week was awesome, we got 2 families married on thursday and we baptised them this friday. The missionaries have been working with this family for a long time, but we were able to help them get married and take these last steps before the baptism. I hope that one day you guys get to meet this family, they are amazing!!!
The man, Ródrigo, he was in prison when the missionaries started to teach his parents, but he didn´t know. In Prison he was humbled and one night he prayed to God that if God would get him out of Prison with his health he would follow him and change his life. When he got out of prison the missionaries before us started to teach him and his wife, Andréia. Elder Cason, when he found this family he worked a lot with Ródrigo´s sister, Rozana. But when Rozana was going to church, her mom Gedaria, always went, in fact before meeting me Gedaria already read the book of Mormon, but she needed to be married and her boyfriend didn´t want to. So she decided to fast, at the end of her fast her boyfriend called her and said that he wanted to get married.
Teaching them has been an amazing experience, and now I feel so apart of the family!! I was so honored when Ródrigo chose me to baptise him, it is amazing to see how Heavenly Father prepares these amazing people, Before I go home they will have already been sealed in the temple (and if I can help Andréias daughter´s get baptised) they can be sealed for time and all eternity with her daughters. This work is amazing!! I am so glad that I have had the oppurtunity to baptise another complete family, now I just need to find more families ;)
I love you all,
-Elder McOmber
