Velhinhos Fofinhos

This weeeeeek!

some fun little highlights for y'all:

- splits with Sister Do Carmo in Camacari!

- English classes!

- did a chapel open house in between conference sessions and between yelling "oi" to everyone in their cars, and giving out panflets to the garbage truck drivers, an inactive member stopped and told us to come visit him! milagres!

- elections are officially over! thank the high heavens! no more nonstop flyers and candidate musiquinha at all hours of the day. Now the Bahians can go back to their normal paredãos and find new excuses to not have time for us.

- ok, let's just say that conference was bomb. Like wow guys. I could go on and on. But questions were answered, revelation was received, and spirits were changed! Oh gloria!

- We will have to go back and watch a few talks though, because at one point a member's drunk husband was trying to tell us to eat more churrasco 🫠

- one of my favorite talks from conference was Sister Kristin M. Yee's. She shared about a painting of the Savior she did, and during the process, she thought she had messed it all up. She prayed and begged the Lord for help and it turned out better than she could have ever imagined. In our lives, if we plead for His help to overcome our mistakes and weaknesses, He can transform us. His Atonement can make us better than we could have ever imagined! He lives! And because He lives, we can have faith and hope!!

life is good:)
love you all

Welcome to Bahia

Image
  highlights!!! - last p-day I was talking with an elder in my mission in our chapel who is from Brazil. We were just chatting when we hear gunshots outside. He then goes "welcome to Bahia". The members told me that when I see a person with a gun, i just say "arma bonita" (beautiful gun) and keep walking, so yep, here we go - one day when we were out tracking we were hungry so we got some açai from this cute little store. Lets just say we got the owner and his family's phone number so hopefully we can teach them and get free açai hehe - we take basically the same road everyday into the main neighborhood of our area. And one day on this road, we saw a cute little old lady out on her porch with some grandkids. We went up and started talking to her, and she was soooo sweet. She even gave us popsicles. We got her number and told her we would come back the next day. So we come back the next day, same thing, super sweet and free popsicles. We pass by again on our way ...

Job's Not Finished

Job's finished? Job's not finished.  We're working até o pozinho and got some serious miracles cooking for the next few weeks.  - Kaike! Pray for Kaike! - Ariane! Pray for Ariane!  - had my last zone conference and had to give my last testimony to the mission! Very bittersweet! - President took everyone who is finishing their mission this transfer to a Bahia soccer game, which included but was not limited to VIP tickets, unlimited free food, and watching president cheer silently for the opposing team. That's all I got for now, but as for a spiritual thought: I've been thinking a lot recently about one of the Savior's encounters with the Apostles after His resurrection. He found them fishing and asked Peter 3 times if he loved Him more than he loved the fish. John 21:17 "He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was greived because He said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto Him, Lord, thou knowest all...

  HOLY CRAP SHE'S ACTUALLY IN SALVADOR This week has been craaazzzyyy, let me tell ya. I'm currently living in an apartment with 5 sisters, and we have 1 phone, so not too much time, but I'll tell you the good stuff - HIGHLIGHTSSSSS So the church really just decided to throw a curve ball and change it all up over here. 1) new preach my gospel - updated on our literal last day at the ctm, so we've got to learn it all again. 2) the day I arrived in my mission, I learned that it is no longer Salvador south, but now just Salvador. Ill send a pic of the new boundaries, but just know that it changed a lot, like a lot. Which means that the past 4 days have been crazy with missionaries getting reassigned and all. However, this means that the Salvador temple which should be done in about a year will be in my mission which is exciting!! My area!!! I'm currently serving in Parque da Cidade! Its an area right in the city on the coast and the chapel is right on the beach hehe. I...
