Well
this is gonna be a quick one (as I always say). The power went out and
our time has been cut quite a bit. This week was great! I think the best part
was having 5 people come to church! Maria and her father Manuel, Renato who has
a tattooed head and usually wears a hat but came and I’m so happy for the help
we received from a member who stayed with him and walked with him to church.
Another Manuel who came right as soon as we called to remind him cause he slept
in! And finally Richard, who is very versed in all religions but finally made a
visit.
It
didn’t feel very different with Carnaval going on here in Brasil. Novo Osasco
is very chill and the only difference was having to go home at 7 o’clock.
I’m
trying to focus on what are my desires? As it says in D&C 11:17, are they
sincere? Of God? When we are desiring as God does, it is more likely to happen
and be a part of His will. Our life will feel so much better if our desires are
in the right place.
This
week was transfers! I'm proud to announce that I will be a mother of one Sister
M. Soares who is from Teresina and is 21. She likes a lot of the same things
and likes to play around so that’s gonna be good! I’ve got a lot to do to make
sure she enjoys the mission as I did with my trainer.
Nothing
else crazy really happened to be honest...just got sunburned, ate beans and
rice and fresh pineapple juice, and felt the spirit very STRONG as I told my
"conversion" story to a member who asked how it was growing up in the
church. I recounted my story when I went to the women’s conference as a 12 year
old in the conference center and didn’t know why everyone was quieting down and
standing up until I saw the prophet entering the room. That moment changed
everything. I felt in my little body the warmest feeling and knew he was a
prophet of God. It was so great to remember how I started learning for myself
the truths of this wonderful gospel.
Know
I am still gaining a testimony daily and that my conversion is stronger than
ever. When you dedicate your life 24/7, things happen, the spirit speaks and
you are never at a loss because He is there. He Always has been and Always will
be. Have a great week! Until Monday :)
