Day Thirty-five

Today was the day that the mormon missionaries came over to share their faith and their believes with me. To share what the book of mormon is and how they prayed to God is search for an answer if this is true. I had some hard questions, and at times I was defensive of my own faith. I was honest with them and I was curious as to why the book of mormon is so important. I think it is natural for anyone to question something that is different. I was prepared to answer questions that I knew and to say I don't know for the questions that I didn't. It was good to hear some of their testimony and why they believe what they believe. I was able to share some about me and my faith and why I believe in the Bible and why I have never read the book of mormon. It just isn't apart of my faith. As simple as that. It was different to hear about everything with the prophets and how there is a prophet here still..how God calls different prophets when one dies. I need to pray, ask God, and have quiet time with just Him and talk, talk, talk..I love my Lord and I know where I will be when I die. It's humbling to know that I am confident in my walk with Christ and how He has taught me so much. It was good to open up and be real with people of different faith. Maybe sometimes I was too much but I think God would have made me shut up if it were too much. Maybe, just maybe they learned something from me too. It was a good talk, long talk, but good talk and there was A PACKAGE FROM HOME!!! :) I opened a package that my mom sent to me, we loved all of the AMERICA things and my pictures of my niece!! Brownie mix for Ligia and skittles for Gabi and Tigao. I loved opening the package and reading cards from home, it was a good feeling! I love my family! Thank y'all!! <3 We went to the japanese restraunt again (Wiki Maki) and Ligia and Tiago ate fish and I just had white rice (boring..I know :P)..I don't like FISH! We came home to talk some and have some conversation. I saw Ligia's 15th (like a sweet sixteen) video from her night, dance with her dad and different brazilian styled dances as well! She had a huge party with A LOT of friends and family. It was like a mini wedding!! It looked very fun and the party ended very late..4am the party stopped! We watched a really cute movie with a christian message at the end. There are little angels everywhere..so true! We stayed up until 4 in the morning and then finally went to sleep! Another eventful day in Curitiba! More to blog soon!

Beijos

Tchau
