How was y'all's weeks?? Mine was great!!! We had a baptism! WHOOOOO! It was so
amazing! Leticia!!! She is so wonderful and I am so happy for her!
And
it was super cool. The baptism was this past Saturday, the 31st of May. aka
exactly one year since I went through the temple for the first time! It was kind
of surreal when I realized that... sitting in a chapel in the middle a baptism
in the middle of Brasil... One year ago I had no idea what to expect of my
mission and now all of a sudden I am one month away from having a year on the
mishh. Sometimes missions are hard (well, really all the time) and sometimes you
feel like you really aren´t making a difference in the lives of these people
that you love so much. But sitting there at the baptism of one of my
investigators, I remembered sitting in the temple and how hopeful I was for the
next 18 months of my life, trying to picture all the people that I would meet
and come to love and things that would happen. And it was a nice reminder that
I really am helping here, and not just bumbling around Brasil trying to speak
português, but really helping. =]
We also had Zone Conference
this past week! It´s the last Zone Conference with President and Sister Tanner!
They´re leaving the end of this month and I know that we are all going to miss
them so much! They have been so wonderful and have helped me so much! And I
really am going to miss them, but I know that President and Sister Broadbent are
called of God for this mission and that I will love them just as much! They sent
a video to President and Sister Tanner for them to show to us, just talking and
to let us get to see them! And it was really cool! They are going to do great
here!
But um yeah... i have a bunch of other things to write
from this week and last week that I didnt write but I´m almost out of time! I
love you all so much! Thank you so much for all the prayers! Have a good week
ok? =] Talk to ya next week!
