Hello everyone! Well this week was great. And also flew by super fast! We have been super busy each day. Also some things have happened here in Fortaleza. Last weekend the police went on strike. They were on strike until Wednesday. So imagine how it would be over here. People get robbed every day as it is with the police working. Without them it just went crazy. Everyone was scared to come out of their house. On Tuesday there were many, many problems. Everyone stayed inside, a few buses got robbed, and unfortunately there were tons of shootings. On Tuesday night we heard about fifty or more gunshots go off. All is well though. God is on our side.
On the other hand, we had a miracle happen. My comp and I decided to do a fast for this weekend to help our baptisms go through. On Sunday, we had five baptisms! Everyone showed up! There was a lady named Lucia that was baptized. She had been waiting for this day for over ten months. She never really accepted baptism. My comp and I talked to her last week and had a very spiritual lesson, and she accepted. Also a man we have been working with for a while went to the baptism. He felt the Holy Ghost, and said he wanted to be baptized the next week. Fasting really does bring miracles. Just another lesson learned and goes to show that God is the head of this work.
