Week # 26. Miracles & Portuguese!



Hey Everyone!

This week has absolutely flown by! We had a ton of lessons this week! Although I'm basically just a background character at this current time, I'm slowly learning enough Portuguese to be a side kick! The gift of tongues is real and I could definitely not be here if it wasn't! Also for anyone who thinks miracles don't happen, ask a missionary and they could tell you otherwise

This week we found a new person! She was super ready to talk about everything the church has to offer! She wants to read the Book of Mormon and I know that it will bless her life! 

That actually makes me think of something Joseph Smith said "I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book." I know that is 100% true and I've seen a tiny fraction of it help my life and cant wait for it to continue to help me! 

We had a testimony meeting (like everyone else) this week and it was super cool because I had the opportunity to share my testimony in Portuguese! Something that's always made me sad is that I feel like i can never feel the spirit when i share my testimony in Portuguese but this week i felt it so strong! The spirit can do amazing things in our life if we allow Him in.

Well folks that's just about it haha Miracles are happening haha Don't forget to read the Book of Mormon and say your prayers! All the powers of heaven are just waiting for us to call on them!

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...
