Week # 33. Hangman in Portuguese!



Hello Everyone!!

Fun times from Worcester this week! So to start off, I got to give me second ever talk in Portuguese! The first time I had my companion basically translate it all into Portuguese, but this time I wrote it all out by myself! With only a few wrong conjugations! It was the coolest thing!

After sacrament meeting there was a couple kids playing hangman on the chalkboard and I thought "is there a better way to learn new words than hangman?" SO I JOINED THE GAME! I've never been roasted so hard in my life by little kids hahaha I cant even remember the alphabet from the MTC so i asked them what "x" was in Portuguese and they all kindly let me know and one little boy shouted in english "it's called EX!" I was like "Hey I actually know that language" haha so I suggest taking notes from little kids cuz they will teach you everything haha 

We found a new person this week who loves the Book of Mormon! (crazy huh ;) But we dropped off a copy to him and he immediately started reading! We found him a member that he can ask all his questions to and everything in between! Basically prayers that he keeps strong is all that's left! 

This week we had so many people go to church! The group is growing! I think we hit our record for attendance which made Elder Bollar smile SUPER big! 

Got to go on exchanges with thee Elder Fox this week and we even found a new person! Usually nothing grand comes from exchanges so this was a pleasant surprise. (He also beat me in monopoly deal but we dont talk about that)

I've been going off on a food trying rampage recently! Anyone who knows me well, knows I've got a very select amount of food I eat, but this week I tried a ton! Number one item was shawarma, just today! Number two was Elder Jones famous cheesecake Number three was some weird sauce from somewhere, cant remember what it was called

This week for a spiritual thought
Doctrine and Covenants 20:
22 He suffered temptations but gave no heed unto them.   23 He was crucified, died, and rose again the third day;  24 And ascended into heaven, to sit down on the right hand of the Father, to reign with almighty power according to the will of the Father;

I know that Jesus Christ was crucified for the sins of the world. I know someday I will feel the nail marks in his hands, but until then, I still have a sure knowledge that He is my Savior and Redeemer. I wouldn't be on my mission if I didn't believe this all and I hope you all have this same testimony. If you dont, please say a prayer and I know God will answer!

Have a great week! Don't forget to read the Book of Mormon and say your prayers every day!

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...
