Not an OK computer

The darn thing switched off in the middle of my last e-mail, so this one will be a bit short. Sorry guys!

So this week was interesting with the Zone Conference. Pres. gave some good trainings, and I left more motivated. The only downer was that our mail was sent to another area (again), so I´ll have to read any letters sometimes in April.

Sunday had its ups and downs. The down was that an investigator named J. who has a baptismal date told us that she didn´t want to go to church anymore. I dunno what happened, as she really enjoyed last week, but she said that she feels more comfortable in her church. Luckily, she still is up to having us visit, so we´ll have to see what the problem is. The "up" on Sunday was that a guy named Well... visited church. We met him on the road in Lucélia-- a neighboring city that we take care of as well. He just moved here from São Paulo, and said that he was looking for a fresh start and wanted to “be born again”. Heh, our interest was high, and I gave him a pamphlet of the first lesson with the invite to go to church. He said that he´d go, but when we offered to pass by his house to go with him, he gave the usual “No no, I can get there by myself” that people usually give when they don´t really want to go. But Sunday came, and he was there! We were pretty happy, as it´s very rare (or rather, never happened to me before) that an person will travel from another city to attend a church meeting that they´ve never even heard off, so I took that as a good sign. He said that he liked the church, but seemed a little burned out from the three hour block. Unfortunately when we offered to pass by his house later this week, he said that he´d have to get back to us, as he has to “work some stuff out”. We´re praying that he´ll come back again or that we´ll run into him.

Much love
