Moving MTC


 Everyone! Hope you're all doin' fine and dandy!
So much stuff has happened in the past two weeks and I can't believe I'm already on the last week of my MTC! Our family got all moved down to Ephriam, during the moving experience I've been passed around from my house to my sisters house and sometimes all the way down in Ephraim! But I know that the power of the spirit works anywhere we are ready to receive it because there hasn't been a day where it hasn't been with me!

For our TRC's my goal was always to try and not have anything written down in portuguese while I'm teaching, which was a big goal because my Portuguse vocab is not very vast.(Yet) But in the most recent lesson that we had with Misieal, I only had 4 words written down in english to keep me on the path of the lesson and everything went smooth! I know the holy ghost was helping me because it should not have gone as well as it did without any of my notes in portuguese. So from that I learned that whenever you know you will be in need of the spirit to pray to have him there and he will be!

For one district meeting we had a testimony meeting and It was so powerful! The spirit was so strong even through zoom with everyone's testimonies! While I was sharing I realized how thankful I was for the online MTC. It has been a big blessing to be able to learn how to be a missionary and learn a whole new language with having my family right outside my door!

In a devotional by Elder Holland he talks about Liberty jail and everything that happened there. One of the most interesting things he talked about was how that place could be compared to a temple. Which is so weird because they were treated so horribly! But when I thought about it, I realized that revelation was given to Joseph Smith while he was there and that's how we have section 121, 122, and 123 of the Doctrine and Covenants and how the prophets now receive revelation in the temple. So i think it's important for us to always be willing to receive because any situation we are in could be turned into a temple!

Hope you all have a great week!

P.S. I got my reassignment to Manchester, New Hampshire! I will depart from Utah on the 12th!

Week # 84. Other cities & conference!

Hello Everyone! This week we had some good experiences so we can just hop right in!  We found that some earlier sisters had worked in a smaller city outside the main city and we decided that we we're gonna go out there and give it a go! I'll just say that was the best decision ever haha we basically got to knock doors for 5 hours straight to a bunch of people that were super willing to hear about Jesus. At one point we got to a house where this lady was washing clothes so we went up, introduced ourselves and asked if we could come back another day because she was busy and she goes, no no! Please sit down! I could never turn away representatives of Christ. My mind was blown!!! So we got to have a super amazing lesson with her right there At another door that we clapped, this older man of probably 80 years old life in him opened his window and we introduced ourselves and then he opened the front door and his son hurried to the door and was like "hey who are you guys!"

Week # 90. Weddings & New Friends!

Olááá Everyone!! We had some miracles this week!! First and foremost, our convert who got baptized two weeks ago, brought his whole family to church!! We were so proud of him!! We immediately went over and talked with them all and our convert goes "so let's mark some lessons right now, and let's have at least two lessons a week." I was so excited!! Not one but two lessons this week!! Then the coolest thing, we got to give him the priesthood :') It really made me remember of when I got it back at 12 and I had so many feelings!! This church is so true!! With the couple that's always so apt to change, we had a stressful week!! So we needed to take them into the city building with like 20 documents for EACH of them so we can get them married! Some how, by a miracle from God, they didnt have any problems!! It all went very smooth:) but then when they asked for my ID I whipped out my Utah Drivers license and they said that wasnt valid and I was like "are you ki...

Week # 88. Three Separate Beings

Olá tudo mundo!! This week we taught a few more reinforcement lessons to our friends who are struggling with the word of wisdom, but these lessons were so good!! For one of our friends we talked about the vision of the tree of life. And when I shared what I thought, I talked about the verse that says: "And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed, because of those that were scoffing at them; and they fell away into forbidden paths and were lost." So from that i talked about how it is the same with us! When we start to get a testimony of something, we learn that not following through with that thing is going down a forbidden path! And then that line "were lost". So SCARY! Basically I told him that now that he is gaining a testimony, he gets to have more blessings but live at a higher standard! And he said he is ready to stay off the Forbidden paths!! Then this week we started teaching a new couple!! Yall. I have never ever had anyone in my mission, pay at...
