Week # 86. Interviews & Easter!!



Hey yall??
This week I had a scary story!! We were driving home from zone conference that is about two hours away. And when we were driving home, I was passed out because zone conference took out all my strength. (Remember that I'm not super tall but here in brazil I'm relatively large). So I woke up to our driver jerking the whole car and thus my head getting sent into the roof! It turns out he was swerving to avoid a big street dog which he didnt and the whole front of the car got destroyed. And I walked away with a good headache for two days haha But I learned a lesson! When we were leaving our meeting I heard a voice say "put on your seatbelt" and i said back "this is brazil, they dont use them here" later I learned that I should've put on my seatbelt!!! Listen to those little promptings!!

I got to do a super fun interview this week! It was a little 10 year old girl and why it was so fun is the following! I would ask this little girl some hard questions and she would always hold a wait finger to me and her mom because she wanted to answer them herself!! Obviously she couldn't answer them all but I was so impressed by her desire to answer these questions alone!! She really wanted to prove that she was ready for this baptism

Then I got to do another fun one with a 14 year old boy. And obviously he was a little more chill then the little girl Haha and that was his attitude, BUT something that impressed me is that each time I asked a question, he would answer it, and then ask me if I had any further knowledge about it!! He was so willing to learn more and receive correction!! He really wanted to learn his stuff and was humble enough to do so!! I learned a lot from these kids!

Alma 11:42 Now, there is a death which is called a temporal death; and the death of Christ shall loose the bands of this temporal death, that all shall be raised from this temporal death.

This past week we celebrated Easter!! My challenge to us this coming year is that we can let the sacrifice of Christ affect who we are. And when we constantly remember what Christ did for us, we will slowly become like Him. And after all, that is the reason we are here on earth. So join with me in remember Jesus's sacrifice for us! I know it will make us better

I love you all! I hope you have a great week!! Don't forget to say your prayers and read the Book of Mormon!

Week # 84. Other cities & conference!

Image
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

Image
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...
