This last week has been crazy! This last week i had the opportunity to go to missionary leadership counsel and be trained by Elder Rasband from the Quorum of the 12 and Elder Gong and elder Binnet from the 70! We heard some amazing things from them. One thing that really impacted me was when Elder Rasband said that "the Apostles aren't unfamiliar with the voice of the Lord" when he said that my mind was BLOWN! You could feel the spirit so strong in this meeting. It felt like i was going to the temple. He had that same spirit about him. I know that he is a true disciple of Jesus Christ. We got a training on contacting people and sharing the Restoration within a minute. It was very helpful. We discussed a lot about the mission. How we can improve. We then took all of our thoughts and ideas and put it on a chalk board at the Cambridge Chapel. It took us two days to plan for Zone meeting and DLC(District leadership Council). Usually it would only take us a few hours to put toghether zone meeting and DLC. But we had not outline. So we had to figure it all out. The hardest topic we faced was figuring out what were eating for Zone Lunch. It went well though. We got some great feedback from our zone. Now there will bed another Zone meeting in 2 weeks we have to prepare for.
Susan got Baptized! We love Susan and we're so happy she got baptized. It was pretty stressful getting her to come to her own Baptism. Susan doesn't drive and she lives at least 20 minutes away by car. We have these members who are fellow shipping Susan and take her to church.. They kinda have some health issues. So the morning of her Baptism we had to find her a ride. Then as soon as we got to the Church we walked in to the Relief Society room to set up. We come to figure out that it was a Hispanic holiday. So the relief society room was covered in Guatemalan decorations. So we had to take it all down and put it back up after Susan's baptism. She made it and got Baptized. But the next day our members who are Fellow shipping Susan decided not to go to church again . So i'm getting out of bed and i'm starting to call around and see who could pick up Susan. We got a member to go to her house and Susan never came down. So now were in sacrament meeting and i get a call from Susan. She had her Phone in the other room and couldn't hear it ring. She was so sad she even started to cry a little bit. I think that she thought it was her only chance to receive the gift Holy Ghost.So we went over to her house and explained to her that we can do it on the following Sunday. She told us that she can really feel the presence of the lord. Hearing that made me so happy.
So me Elder Clare, and Stephan Went to go see this Potential Investigator named Berry. We went inside his home and we could hardly get a word out. This guy would not stop talking about his life. He had at least 10 last supper decorations and had to talk about all of them. He said" who has the last supper decorations" he said that multiple times. Then we said Berry those.HAHAHAHA He asked were i was from i told him Brazil. He pulls out his phone and says maybe you can translate this for me . He puts the phone on me ear and all i heard was someone speaking in Japanese. He said this is your Language right . I was like no thats in Japanese. We shared a scripture with him then he starts talking again. He said that people have told him that he has healing powers. He rubs his hands together and makes them warm. Then puts his hands on peoples heads and heals them. We all knew this wasn't going anywhere. So we tried to leave. He showed us his whole apartment. Form the light up Jesus on his counter to the food in fridge. We hurried out of there.
Well, I would like to end with my testimony.I was reading in Alma 14-15. In there I talked about Zeezrom being a very wicked man but then after he figured out that the Gospel was true he became very very sick. Alma said According to your faith in Christ you will be healed. He then jumps out of bed and later gets baptized. Now this just shows me that heavenly Father is always giving us chances to return to him. We just need to be willing to except his mercy and we will be healed like Zeezrom.
Love you all
-Elder Dalsasso
