Transfers



Well guys, first off I want to wish my sister good luck with the next part of her journey, I wish her the absolute best!!!
Today is transfers, and I am getting a novo companheiro, finally done with the primero 12 semanas haha. 
So, we have been teaching 2 netos(grandchildren) de uma membro, it was going really well, on date por batismo, but then the day before the batismo, the parents decided them were going to move to Belo Horizonte, and so they left... it was quite sad, but life goes on, and em no futuro, eles vai por batismo e o reino do ceu.(in their future they will be able to be baptized into the kingdom of heaven)
Well guys, I know you can have felicidade em todos as lugars e em todos os tempos(happiness in all that you do always), atraves o Expiaçao do Senhor, porque Ele sente nossos dores, afliçoes, sofrimentos, todos(because of the atonement of Jesus Christ). mas we need to turn to Him por todos, and He will make everything right, for His burden is light 
Love you guys, can’t wait to hear from you all!!!!! Wish you guys the BEST!!!!

2 Emails, 1 Blog



Jan 2,2017
Not a lot of time today, I always run out of time. Well, a bit happened this week, and when I have more time, I’ll make sure to tell you all about it. This week was interesting, it’s been getting steadily hotter, and more bugs, but its good. Ano Novo was interesting, lots of fireworks during the whole day and a ton at 12am. Did a lot of contactos this week, and I think people are starting to intende(understand) me haha. Well, I hope you all have a fantastic week!! Hope all is well, let me know how it’s going!!!

I’m going to do better with these emails guys, stories and whatnot; make my email interesting por all of you. So, por contactos, we have been using puzzles to help teach people to think different, and it’s a great way to get in the door and make them think different. Been teaching these kids who skate around the praza, they are really nice and receptive to us. It’s really strange porque you look at a person with lots of tattoos smoking a cigarette and think, there’s no way he would receive this message sobre Jesus Cristo. But then you talk to him, and he’s really nice and you teach him, and it’s all good. That’s when you realize everyone is a child of God, and that’s why we are here, to help them receive what has been promised to them, the kingdom of God.

Story: well, there’s a lot of random thunder storms that happen, so we were standing at a doorway that leads to an apartment, waiting for someone to answer, hear some thunder off in the distance, then Boom, really close. Looking at the doorway hoping someone will come very soon, then suddenly BOOOOM!!!! My companion starts pushing me through the doorway while closing the umbrella. Turns out the doorbell we needed to ring was inside, ended up teaching a bom liçoe.

     I love you guys!!! I love hearing from you all! I hope you like my emails!!! Let me know if anyone else wants them!

OI FAMÍLIA!!! 

E AÍ???!!! WHATZZ UPP? I hope you all are doing just fantastically wonderful because I sure am!!! This past week was a little bit crazy but it was such a great week! We went to the templo terça for my very last time here em Brasil....and I have to say it was one of the best times. I love going to templo because it brings that peace in our lives that everyone needs. It gives us time get away from the world and feel the sweet Spirit of the Lord. I know that in the templo we are not only able to help ourselves be pessoas melhores but also those that have already passed through this life so that they too can have an oportunidade to return e viver com nosso Amaroso Pai Celestial(live with our loving Heavenly Father). I love my Heavenly Father and all He has done for me so that one day I can return to live with Him.

We were also able to participate in a service project and help a family that is getting to know the church paint their home. It has been a while since we have done a big service project assim and was awesome to give a helping hand. And in the end, it actually turned out pretty great and brought a different feeling in the home. It felt more homely and warm and cozy. It's amazing what little changes can do. And I got to thinking that it's the same thing with us. Sometimes if we make the little changes in our lives, it will make all the difference e faz com que we are happier or have mais a companhia of the Spirit. It's the little changes that make us shine just a little bit brighter. 

Welp guys, believe it or not, this is my last week....wow it has gone by so super duper fast. I can't believe it. It feels like just yesterday I was saying goodbye to you all. And to be honest, I really don't want to leave because being a missionary is the best thing I've ever done. Eu amo muito a missão(I love my mission so much) and know it will be hard to leave everyone I have met here but don't worry because I am excited to see you all. I am so grateful pra missão and everything that I have learned while being here. I am so grateful for this gospel and know it can change our lives. I know that the Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos Últimos Dias is the true church of Cristo here on the earth with all the verdades(truth). I know that Heavenly Father has called a profeta(prophet) for us hoje em dia to lead and guide us. I love my Savior Jesus Cristo and all He has done and does for me. I know that through Him one day we can voltar a viver(return and live)with our loving Heavenly Father!

I love you all so much!!! Thanks for everything!
