LAN house miracles - Lages week 58

hello! just wanted to give a quick shoutout to the best dad out there - happy fathers day t-money! love you to brazil and back :)

some miracles that happened this week: 2 weeks ago we started teaching a 21yr old named jose. we met him at the LAN house (internet cafe) where he plays video games. we go there on pday to email our fams and so we got to know him. the first sunday he went to church he actually got up to bear his testimony... it was so awesome! then after church yesterday he asked us to give him a lesson. so i felt inspired to give him a lesson in the baptismal font.. literally IN it. so we did.  then we invited him to be baptized and he said he wants to be baptized but he is scared. at this moment i remembered something that good old mama trish said all growing up.  when we were scared or nervous she would say you have to have faith that everything will be ok, then you won't need to be afraid.  because "faith and fear cannot co-exist".  after i said that to him he thought for a minute and said, "how does saturday sound?" so pumped for jose!

in my companionship we have been praying everyday to know our purpose in this area.  without fail every week we have been quickly reminded that we are EXACTLY where we are supposed to be! my fav quote of the week "look for Christ and you will find Him. and with Him, everything else."

have a great week! 
love, sista kener

"by faith all things are fulfilled" - Lages week 66

we saw miracles this week! sister maldonado and i have been setting one (different) goal every week and this week was to invite two people to be baptized and this is what happened: -leomar was baptized on friday, quit drinking coffee in two days and is already in 2 nephi of the BOM. and i tell you that because literally no one actually reads, let alone reads more, than what we tell them too... top demais! -jandira has been an investigator for 3 years . she wants to be baptized but has to get married first. we promised her that if she set a date for her baptism and had faith that ,if it be His will, Heavenly Father would help her achieve this goal. her boyfriend, who has never wanted to get married and always rejected the idea, agreed to signing the marriage papers this week! (if we brought them to him and he didn't have to pay anything hahah) this is a HUGE step! -wednesday we had a lesson with another investigator of 4 years.  he has been to church a handful of times but

"divinely redirected" - Lages week 68

hello gringos! some highlights from this week - after sharing a video about forgiveness and repentance to Cristana and Ivonir, 6 year Beatriz got up and said she needed to ask forgiveness for something.  so she went into her room, knelt by her bed, and came back a few seconds later saying "all done!"  tender stuff right?! - on friday, we were walking back from an appointment that had fallen through when we saw 2 young girls crying and arguing in the road.  we stopped and asked if they needed help with something.  one of the girls said she had lost her cellphone and her mom was going to be so mad.  we told them we would keep our eyes out for it, and asked her if she believed in the power of prayer.  she responded "yes."  we offered a prayer right there in the middle of the street, wished them well, and then went our separate ways.  not long after we left the girls, we looked at the ground and saw her cell phone untouched.  we picked it up and went running bac

Can someone please point me in the direction of Draper, Utah? - Lages week 8

Just kidding:) So I don't know if any of you are watching the World Cup, but I sure am!!  I'm convinced Brazil has different missionaries rules than the rest of the world hahaha.  This week I experienced my first Lages rainstorm and it was nuts!  You could seriously ring out my hair, dress, shoes, everything.  But perk of the rainstorm, President Goncalves got us a drying machine so bless up!  I also had some awkward experiences this week.  One being my Brazilian roommates told me to say "Eu estou gravida" when the members tell you to eat more food.  It turns out that really means "I am pregnant". I'm glad I could provide some entertainment for them.  This week wasn't super successful, and sometimes discouraging, but it's crazy because everytime I feel like I'm about to break down, something good happens and I forget what I was sad about.  God works in funny ways like that.  One of our investigators (Fatima my fav) started reading the B
