This
week was pretty difficult. Many of our meetings with investigators
fell through so we have had to search for new people to teach. We are
finding success slowly but surely!
Not much happened this week - had two divisions with other missionaries and taught a lot of lessons.
The
best day of the week was Sunday! So much happened, it was awesome!
Giu and Aleandra, the first people we baptized, needed to have their
kids named and blessed. I was asked to give a name and a blessing to
their second youngest daughter Pamela who is 2 or 3 years old! It was
kind of scary being in front of the whole ward, but I got all the
wording down in Portuguese and gave a great blessing. Later during the
Elders quorum meeting, Giu asked me if I would confirm the Aaronic
Priesthood on him. I was honored to do so. Guided by the spirit, I
gave a pretty powerful blessing. I know it was the spirit because
honestly I had no idea what to say, let alone in Portuguese! Later in
the day, we attended a baptism for Igor and Jessica. Igor is a nephew
of our ward mission leader. He is a great kid! Jessica is the oldest
daughter of Aleandra and Giu! The baptism was terrific. Sunday was
just full of spiritual experiences.
I
hope you are doing well. I pray for our family every single day. I
love and miss you. Tell everyone I love and miss them! WRITE, WRITE,
WRITE! :) I LOVE LETTERS hahahaha.
Honestly,
I don’t need much ... just food and snacks! Maybe you could send me
the book Doctrines of Salvation? I am glad that the youth loved the
letters, it wasn’t much but it was the best I can do! I miss them all
so much. When I come back, I hope I get a church calling to work with
the youth!
All
is well here in Brazil. I love and miss you so very much. Give my
love to dad, Cyd and Spencer and the whole ward! Let them know that I
miss them too and I am thankful for the prayers and the many letters!
Tell brother Hart he is the man, and I love him to death and that all
his letters and experiences have helped me so much!
Every day I get closer to God. Every day I am better with the language.
Love you mom,
