So this week was transfers....and I will stay in my area, Vila do
Pricipe, with Sister Pinheiro! I will be the last companion...haha it´s a
little rough being with someone that will be going home, but I love her so it´s
all good!
this week was just a little rough because we had to run around and
try and teach everyone and meet new people...We have been trying to go to a
different part of our area because the work is getting a little slow and the
area that we have been working in has just been really annoying! It gets to the
point where you already know what the person will say as an excuse...STOP
LYING!!!!
but yeah we got a couple of references to another part of our area
called Alto da Boa Vista, so we know that was an answer to our prayers and we
are going to go there and start working there! It´s just a little hard because
it´s really far from the church (about 40 minutes walking fast) but we are
excited this week to go there and start baptizing everyone haha!!
So this week our baptism fell through, his name is Pedro Lucas and
he is the brother of Priscilla that was baptized last week! He´s 12 years old
and he is just really great! But the problem is that his mom didn´t want to
sign the ficha.....(baptism form?) so it just really brought us down! and
everyone else that said they would go to conference just said a bunch of
reasons why they couldn´t go when we passed by Saturday.
But it was great cause I got a lot of answers to some of the
question that I had going into Conference! Some of the great things is that I
got a lot of answers to questions and worries that I didn´t even realize that I
had!
It was great!
Sunday morning was terrible...I woke up and I started to throw up
and I had diarrhea! it was nonstop...I was like seriously, the day of conference!!
SATAN!!!! haha So we called Jose Carlos (the member that sent you a message mom
on Facebook) and he came over with an another member, Kaio, and they gave me a
blessing and same medicine that would help me throw up all the bad stuff that
was inside of me!
When we got to Conference, I felt so gross! I was like a walking
zombie!! so the first session was hard to pay attention to cause I was in pain
and going to the bathroom now and then! I tried to listen in English, but they
put it in a room with no air conditioning so I just left and went to watch in Portuguese!
I LOVED the talk by Bednar! it was just sooo good! and also by the
guy that talked about the Joy and Happiness that one can feel when they see
their child bearing testimony of Christ!
I just thought of you guys, mom and dad, and I just want to say that
I KNOW that Christ lives! I feel his presence every day! I Know that he died
for me and each one of us so that we can have peace and happiness in our lives
and in the eternities!!
I know that the struggles that I have now, in the mission, are
helping me grow and learn and also I realize how much Love that my Savior has
for me.
It is such a blessing to be a missionary! I know that my time is
almost up (because everyone keeps saying that) but I just want you guys to know
that I love my Savior, I love this gospel, and I know that this church is true!
I know that the Priesthood power is real, and it is the power of God on this
earth today!
I am a daughter of God...each one of us has a purpose, and I am so
grateful that my Heavenly Father is guiding me so that I can know and recognize
my purpose here on earth!
I hope you guys have a great week! :)
I love you

something funny happened this week...we got to the house of our
investigator and they live in a one room house with 2 beds! He told us to sit
on the bed and he would sit on the other...I looked at the bed and it was a
little wobbly and I just thought, this will not end well!! Hamah So we started
to talk to him (Jonas) and get to know him, then we started talking about
Christ and teach...then all of a sudden BOOM...the bed fell, Sister Pinheiro
and I fell too!! hahaah we just got up and started laughing, Jonas was like ´oh
no, did you hurt yourself...I put 3 bricks underneath, but it looks like I need
to put more´ hahahaahaha it was so funny! The spirit just went out the window
with that one!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK....remember always to laugh and smile!!
