Well this week was a doozey. Lots of people stopped progressing and we had everything totally ready for a baptism when our investigator changed his mind (3 hours before) about being baptized. Talk about a discouraging weekend! BUT tomorrow starts a new transfer and we are ready to go out and find tons of new people to teach and baptize! Sister Moura and I are confident in the promise that trials bring forth the blessings of heaven. I know that there are people in our area who are ready to embrace this beautiful gospel :)
This is a typical day for us here in Arapiraca:
6:30am- Wake up
6:45- Devotional, which includes a hymn, prayer, message, and prayer with us 4 sisters
7:00- Exercise
7:30- Get ready and make breakfast
8:00- Personal Study Time
9:00- Study Time with Companion
10:00- Training (Every missionary has an additional hour to study for the first 3 months of the mission.)
11:00- Language Study (For me to learn Portugûes!)
12:00pm- Lunch at a Member´s house. We almost always eat the same thing: white rice, beans, spaghetti, meat, and a salad. And here they eat everything mixed together :)
2:00-9:00- Visit investigators, knock doors, talk with people in the street, etc. Missionary work!
9:00- Plan for the next day
9:30- Shower, eat something like a mango or yogurt
10:30- Lights out!
Life is the mission definitely isn´t easy, but it´s awesome to know that we are really doing the Lord´s work. I know that this church is true and I´m so grateful to be apart of it :)
Love,
Sister Lopez
