Helloooo Everyone!!
These past couple of weeks have been the last weeks of the
transfer. Leonardo got baptized on October 28th Wahoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It
was a great day! For those of you who don’t remember Leonardo, he is 19 years
old who plays rugby and goes to college and he is a friend of one of the
families in our ward. His baptism was a success. Everyone came and supported
him--less actives and members-- and we had lots of goodies there as well. In
the beginning, Sis Oliveira and I almost made the church turn into a pool
because we almost overflowed the baptismal font. hahahhahha. Don’t worry, we
didn’t. Leonardo was so happy the next day at church he showed up in a suit to
receive the Holy Ghost. The gospel really changes lives. My hope is that in a
year he can serve a mission and change other people’s lives as well.
I am sad to say that unfortunately I am on to my 3rd umbrella
here in Curitiba. It rains like cats and dogs with a wind that blows so strong
it destroys my umbrellas. Curitiba: Sister Erickson 0! It is very hard to work
in the rain because there is no one in the streets and no one wants to let us
in because we are soaking wet. Jane our investigator came to church with us the
other week and loved it. She is still trying to stop smoking. We are trying to
help her set goals and make plans. I know she will overcome this addiction she
has.
This last Thursday Sister Oliveira and I got sick. We think
we ate something in the house of a less active that made us sick. Sister
Oliveira stayed in bed all day Friday and couldn’t get up because she was
feeling really bad. I took care of her like my loving mom took care of me when
I was sick. Thanks Mom, for all you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was feeling fine until
Friday night when I started throwing up but I woke up Saturday morning feeling
well.
We are now starting a new transfer and I am staying with
sister Oliveira in Capao da Imbuia for one more transfer (or more). I hope this
transfer will be great!! I know God is preparing his children to hear the gospel.
Thanks everyone for your love and support. Remember to be a
light in someone’s life this week!!
Love you allllllll
Besjooooosossss,
Sister Tahlia Grace Erickson
