Here in Brasil everything is concrete. Carpet or wood floors are very rare and only with the richer class. I have seen carpet here three times until now. Wood is a little more common. But the floors are usually just concrete. So the clean here just flooding the house with water, soap and bleach and then scrubbing everything with it and then pushing all the dirty water down a drain that all the houses have.
So that is what we did today! And it worked out pretty well! So now our house smells really good (:
We had a really awesome lesson with Odair and Denise. We took Bishop with us there and he is awesome! He is a convert and a really good guy and really studies his scriptures. And he testified very powerfully of how the gospel blesses families which is what we are really trying to get all of our investigators to see! And Odair and Denise liked it a lot! Denise came with all the kids this last week except for one. Odair stayed home to make lunch so we are going to have to teach a little bit about the Sabbath day haha.
Rodolfo is doing really good! I had a really cool experience that taught me a little more about how to listen to the holy ghost this week with him. So we are climbing the big hill to get to his house and i am thinking about how we are going to teach him and help him really understand dispensations. Adn that day in our district meeting we talked about parables and president invites us to alwasy be trying to make up modern parables and anologies to use with our investigators to help them understand better like Christ did.
So I am thinking what could be a way to apply it with Rodolfo? And I think, "Alright he loves soccer and is really good at it. So maybe we could do something with dispensation being like a soccer team. Sometimes they are really good and sometimes not so good..." and it was way more complex than that but I ended up thinking no that is just a dumb idea lets just try teaching him because that parable wouldnt make any sense!
So we get there and we get done explaining a part and ask him what he understood and he says, "so it is a lot like soccer and a team when they are good..." And then continued to explain and compare it to exactly what I had been thinking about! hahaha... I really gotta learn how to better recognize and follow the spirit!
But it was a cool testimony that the Holy Ghost really knows all things! (Alma 7:13)
But things are really going great here! I dont know for sure but this week or next week we could already be moving over to the center which will be a little bitter sweet! But we are going to see if God really wants us to move right now and if he does we will do it!
I love you all so much and hope everything is going great! Have an awesome week!
