Week # 40. First week in Nashua







Hey yall! Hows life going??

So I have left the Portuguese area, andddd that pretty sad but I'm excited to be in New Hampshire! They dont have sales tax here so I'm bouta be saving 6 dollars this transfer so that's a plus!

Me and my companion are basically opening up the area here so we walked into about nothing haha but the other elders here were gracious and let us meet some of their friends haha But other than that we've just been searching for people to talk to! Pray for some miracles haha 

The ward is so nice here! I'm very excited to get to know everyone! All the missionaries say Nashua is the promise land so me and my companion were wondering what we did to get here haha either way, we're excited to work the area and get going!

On sunday a convert of a year was receiving the Melchizedek Priesthood and we got to be apart of the circle! Exercising the preisthood is one of my favorite things on the earth to do!

Some other hype news, I should be getting vaccinated this week! 

This week I had some fire studies in the Book of Mormon and I wanna share a scripture from that. Alma 7:11   "And He shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith He will take upon Him the pains and the sicknesses of His people."

I love that it says "He will take upon him the pains and sicknesses of His people" I know that Jesus truly had a choice to complete the atonement and I know He did it because of the love he has for us. Each day I'm strengthened by  the sacrifice He made for each of us and one day I cannot wait to thank Him for doing everything for me.

Dont forget to read the Book of Mormon (it's so much fun!) And say your prayers!

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...
