Wow, I~m Hardly believing that this is my LAST EMAIL HOME as a Missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. How did that happen??
Anyways, this email will be super short. I don~t have a lot to say, and if I do, I~ll probably just wait until I get back. It still doesn~t feel real to me that this is my last email, and my last few days. The proslyting part of my mission has pretty much finished. Tomorrow I~ll be going back to Goiania, Wednesday we have interviews with President. And Thursday, I~ll be at the airport flying home! WHATTTT!!!????? It~s crazy.
So I guess I~ll share with you my last miraculous story. We were passing this one house just to see how everyone was. We are teaching this one lady, Celia, who is pretty cool. I don~t remember if I told you about her. We started teaching her, she found a book of mormon in the garbage and took it, and then prayed about it because her pastor said it was of the devil. So she was praying for several days, and she was like... and last night, I had a dream. I was in a dark abyss, completely lost, and I was walking for a few hours, and I cried out for help, and when I cried out for help, I saw a tree far away in the distance. I tried to reach the tree, but it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. It felt like I was clinging to something to help me go in the right direction. And then I woke up.
I almost peed my pants when she was talking. I was like...what??? And then she was like, I think God is trying to tell me that his path is really dificult. And we didnt even hesitate, we just opened up to 1 Nefi 8, and just started reading and she was in shock and was like.... this was my dream!!!! Anyways, she really likes her other church, so i just told her that this dream was a sign for her, and she needs to pray and see if this is the right path for her.
Thats about it. I taught a lesson in English this week. That was rough, but me and my comp have been practicing my English skills so I think I~ll probably be fine when I get home.
Well, Love you, See you Friday!
