Sister Maxfield in Salvador Brazil

 l et's goooooooooo: - had hospital trip #2 because Sister Barbosa cut her head open on a semitruck. And after 3 hours in the ER without being seen, the president's wife told us to leave and do our own false stitch. It was a fun adventure of a day.  - had to say goodbye to my friends from Nova Vitoria, which was sad. But I left them all with some real American cookies. - On Wednesday I headed.... back to Dias Davila?! It's the city I served in exactly 1 year ago. On our first walk to the grocery store, I saw people that I knew, so this is going to be fun. The only catch-up is that now I'm in the other, rival ward. Wish me luck. - We found Guilherme out of the blue, which was a miracle, because after his baptism last year, he fell off the map. Last week I got "asked" to talk in church Saturday night about sacrifice. Our zone has had a manta these past few weeks of "How bad do you want it?" What am I willing to do and sacrifice for the Lord? I thought ...

this week in highlights: - Hospital trip with my comp. Do not eat tamarindo.  - Did a split in Camaçari 1! - This house has some severe adhd and even the bishop is asking if we've taken our meds - the nursing application is SUBMITTED - baptism fell through last minute.

We visited them, and during our visit we got a text from another friend Isabela saying that she would come to church on Sunday! She actually came, already had a BoM and said she's bringing her fambam next week!! - We also got to visit our elect family who we figured out is legally married (that's a rarity). And now they've just gotta feel confident enough to get into the water!! -  "Serve with all your heart, might...

Hi friends! Here's another rundown of life in the Bahia!  Highlights: - as we walked in the streets this week we've been playing the game "bar or church?" It's quite difficult and we get it right about 50% of the time. - myplan (transition to home) chegou. I cried. Sister Dintof took a picture. I'm still in the denial stage of grief.  - we've been able to work a lot in the temple open house which has been so so awesome!  Here are some temple highlights: - I got to go through the tour with my recent converts from Lauro de Freitas Joseane, Vinícius, and Pedro! When we walked into the first room Joseane could feel the spirit so strongly and just started to cry. Incredible knowing that less than a year ago I was in her house as she cried because she was so confused and scared about the temple. - Our cute family that we're teaching did the temple tour and when we got to the sealing room, they had their cute look in the sealing mirrors moment! - also while a...
