Elder Rogoski and I are opening an area here in Patos, and the sisters that were here before us left almost no information (and also no food). I felt like I was in an escape room trying to find out all the leftover hints of how to live haha. It truly was crazy. I love it here so so so much though. Elder Rogoski is an absolute beast and we are already having a ton of success!!! I love seeing the hand of the Lord in the work. He always helps us with anything we need, even if it's just helping us not to be discouraged. I love the work so much!
Something cool that happened this week was in the house of a member. He told us that when the São Paulo temple was finished, he and a friend went and did 400 baptisms in the place of people who had passed away. This means that 800 people were able to accept their baptism and have the opportunity to follow their Savior!!! I love the work of the temple! (If anyone wants to know more about what exactly happens in the temple, you can talk to my mom!)
For something spiritual this week, I gave a blessing to a member completely in Portuguese!!! It was so awesome and the Holy Ghost was so strong! Guys, the gift of tongues is truly real and truly a huge blessing. The opportunity to have the help of God in learning a language is so cool and I love it! For all of you, God cares about you guys and will help you in whatever thing you are currently learning, whether it be a language, school, or work, He WILL help you!
With love from Brazil,
Elder Colton McOmber
