Cassio was baptized
on Saturday and it was terrific!!
Truly, He was an
enormous blessing for us. Let me start from the beginning.
About 5 weeks ago, a
young man entered the chapel and he seemed a little off. He was wearing jeans
and a shirt supporting a local school in the Carnival competitions, missionaries
from another ward approached him and asked him if he needed anything and why he
was there. He said that he was downtown celebrating Carnival all night and until
about 7-8 o clock in the morning and was so tired (and drunk) that he couldn’t
make it home on foot. So, he stopped to rest in the chapel.
The missionaries
invited him to come to church next week and he accepted. The next week he came
again but I wasn’t able to talk to him and he disappeared. The third week, I
talked to him and asked if we could teach him and he said that his mother didn’t
like our church but we could teach him at the chapel during the week, unfortunately
he forgot or wasn’t able to go to that lesson.
The fourth week he approached
us and asked to be baptized before we could teach anything. We taught him as
fast as we could and he was baptized this last Saturday by a member of the
ward.
The Lord is
preparing people to be baptized and to follow the Savior. I hope that I can see
more of these miracles on my mission. The church is true, the book is blue.
