It all came together at the last minute

BOM DIA ALEGRIA!

Milagre da semana: Epifania, o batismo. So we got a call this last week from this number that we didn't have in our phone. When I answered the person on the other end couldn't understand me and hung up. I gave the phone to Elder Antelmi. He called her and it turned out to be an old investigator that wanted to talk to us again. Talked to her on that day last week and she told us that she wanted to be baptized in our church because she felt something different that she never felt in any other church. We lost contact with her for one week. On Friday, we were in the area and decided to pass by her. She opened the door but didn't have time for us at that moment. We set up a time to pass by the next day. She was ready the next morning. We were feeling good about it so we took a baptism register with us on the visit just in case so if she was ready we could do the interview there. (I still hadn't taught her.) When we got there she wasn't completely ready so we explained and clarified some of the restoration and tithing. The mom was a real trouble.  She didn't want her to be baptized that week end but wait for the next week end because the mom's back was hurting. Elder Antelmi thought really fast and arranged a ride for her during church so that she could still come and see here daughter get baptized afterward. We did her interview during the church meetings, she passed! But that meant that we needed to plan the baptism completely from scratch with only one hour of church. It all came together at the last minute but It all worked out and she was baptized! 
 
Engraçada: Mulher que nós parou na rua. This women stopped us in the road on Sunday night. She yelled out ''Hey Elders come here''. Turns out that she has already been taught by the Elders for a long time and that she has already gone to church 2 times. She was actually prepared to be baptized but the Elders went to other areas before it could happen.
