So this week...minha nossa it was rough! So it started out like any
other week...pday, on Monday! we relaxed in home...and after we went to go eat
acai before we had a family home evening with a member.... that night I got sick.
that same way! throwing up and all that good stuff....so yeah I think it´s the
acai that isn’t good for me!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
worst thing that could happen...get sick because of acai!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO so yeah the next day I had to stay in home to rest and then
when I go back to work with my comp, sister stadler, minha filha, we worked
hard!
you guys remember me talking about Normando?? well he was
interviewed to be baptized this week and he hasn’t been using drugs or
anything!! he stopped using for 2-3 days in a row!! MIRACLES HAPPEN!!! so yeah
on Thursday we went after lunch to go help Elder Aguiar and Elder Andrade in
their area...we picked up normando so he could be with us and not just at home
being tempted to break the word of wisdom again. When we got to their area and
met up with them is when everything started to get crazy! Elder Aguiar started
to say that they got a call from the assistants about how there would be an
emergency transfer right now! I was like no way...you are going to be transferred
wooahhah! (thinking that they would be transferred and not me) and that´s when
Elder Harris turned to me and said that they all love me but that I will be transferred
to sousa the next day. AAWHHAAATTTT! My mouth just stayed open for about 5
seconds trying to process what he was saying!! after that I started to feel the
pain and the sadness. that I would miss he baptism of Normando that was marked
for Saturday, all my recent converts here, Jorge, Carlos, Daniel. The people
that we are teaching that would be baptized too, Alice, Eduardo, Douglas.....My
FILHA sister STADLER! the district that I love so much..these sisters and
elders! I was just soo happy and comfortable where I was at that point in my
mission in Mossoró!...tears started to come into my eyes too! I started to talk
to Sister Barbosa and she had an amazing idea! `let´s baptize Normando
today..right now` I just started to cry...that was the ONE thing that I wanted
to be apart of! they talked to the elders and then I talked to Normando! and I
told him first that i would be going to sousa tomorrow...he was like aww really
, good luck!! haha then I said and I would really like to be apart of your
baptism!....he started to say aumm but I was getting ready for
Saturdayaaaaaaaaaaa..then Elder Harris came in and started to say that you´re
ready and some other things like that! Normando said that he would think about
it...THE LONGEST MINUTE OF MY LIFE haha...then all of a sudden he said
`BORA`haha let´s go!!
Let me just tell you that this was the most spiritual baptism that I
have ever been apart of! I felt the true love and miracle of the power of the
Atonement!! When he was baptized I had to go to the bathroom and I just cried
and cried and cried! I knew that he was clean. Normando had a new life with NO
sins! the power of the atonement is real!
I was like a fairy tell ending to my time here in mossoró! When I
had to say bye to everyone, I cried and cried and cried!!...when I was crying I
remembered a scripture, John 16>33...my Savior knows how I feel. And he
suffered so that I can be happy and have peace in my life!
Sousa is so great. I’m struggling a little to be happy, but I know
that when I start to meet more people and start teaching people I will feel
more love for these people and for the gospel!! I love this gospel...I LOVED
the talk by Holland!! KILLED IT!!!! hahaha I NEEDED conference this week! this
week was rough but I’m so grateful for my trials so that I can get closer to my
Heavenly Father and Savior and!
I LOVE THIS GOSPEL! it´s perfect! I love you all...oh I’m here in sousa
with Sister Lerner again as my companion! haha crazy how things work!! But
yeah, I know this church is true and that the power or the atonement is real I
love my Savior and I love being a missionary!
BOA SEMANA!!!
ABRAÇÂO!
