Finished four months of mission

Just another week of fasting, prayer, and miricles! First of all, we liked the bananas so much we cut some more for later.🍌 Some would say its stealing but I say the the Lord is provinding for his missionaries. We were working with Estêvão this week and he had a date for baptism on the 25th of march but he recieved his answer that the church is true and expressed his desire to be baptized. So we played hard and taught him the last of the commandments and moved his date to "tomorrow" on him and he was baptized this week on the 11th. He was tried of his desicion the day of his baptism when his adult son went missing but he stayed strong and was baptized and the next day was his comfirmation and he was late to sacrament meeting to reciece the gift holy ghost because he was still looking for his son but he showed up right when the bishop announced it was time to confirm him. It was perfect timing. And directly after sacrament meeting they went home and his son was their, he was just went somewhere and just didnt tell anyone; but this fulfilled our warning that once someone decides to be baptized "the enemy" sends a trial to test their faith and that we need to remember our desires even when it gets hard. We said this before his son went missing and he realized that what we said was true and it only made his faith stronger. And that fulfilled the scripture in Ether 12 that says you will recieve no witness until the trial of your faith. It was just such an amazing story/experience. This is the last week before the next transfer and I will probably stay but my companion, Elder B. Costa will probably leave, but anything could happen really. And also we got água de coco again as shown in the picture with my companion🌴Have another great week!
