A week of rain, disappointment, and Christ

So it has been a while for a weekly email but i will let you know what has happened here on the border. So to start of, i will just tell you it was cold, and when i mean cold for Brazil! I wore coats and sweater this week to keep me warm. i know that sounds crazy and it does but Ponta Purã is its own world! so besides the cold we got rejected a lot and it as sad. We had a bunch of people with baptism dates and most of them fell through because the people don't want this anymore. so i will give a big thanks to Satan. But on the high note, we have confirmed baptisms for the next 2 weeks before the transfer ends. so that is a plus.
     Yesterday was Sunday and church was just fantastic! i cried during one of the talks because he talked about the Savior. Its was really powerful. so speaking of church we had 3 random people come to church yesterday because they wanted to see what we do. so they came and we then taught them after church to get to know them better. I know the Lord sent them to church for us. After church we went to a really special members house for Easter Lunch and it was amazing. We had a huge meal and got 2 Easter Baskets too!! they are truly an amazing family. we also played Uno and talked about life. I am grateful for the week we had with the good and the bad that happened.
     To end this email for the week i would like to bare my testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I know he lives! He came to this earth to fulfill the plan of out father. He suffered the pains of the world, something we can never comprehend, and paid the price on the cross for ALL. Then on the 3rd day he Arose. He completed his mission here on earth and conquered death. He is resurrected. He lives and is the King of Kings. He is the Savior of mankind and he is the Christ. I love you and know that we have a purpose here in this life. Remember the Savior at all times and he will always remember you!

Love,
Elder Browning
