Just have FAITH!

 Oooi!!  Hello everyone!  What's happening?!  How was everyone's week?

There isn't too much I remember from this week lol!  But there are still some things I remember! 
First thing, we had a zone conference in Rio Preto!!  That was an early morning...we got up at like 4:45am and got back to our area at like 6:30pm.  
But, zone conference was so good!!  The thing I learned the most was about faith!  The APs gave a training about faith and how we just need to keep going!  We can't lose our focus on the things we want and our goals that we want to happen!  Having faith is to try our absolute best and give it our all and the Lord will make up the rest through His grace and mercy!  
This is one thing I absolutely love in the gospel and my mission has definitely strengthened my testimony about faith!  I have had so many experiences where exercising my faith has helped me see more miracles in my life and the life of others!
Then the other big thing that happened this week is our baptism!!!  Our friend Lucas got baptized and we were sooo excited for him!  And he said that he will remember that day forever!  
So that was a good day!!  We had some trouble filling the font lol!!  But everything turned out just fine!
So yeah that's really the biggest updates for the week!
This week we will be working super hard, as always! 
But that's all I got for this week! Love you all!  Have an awesome week!!!

MTC Complete! Off to the field!

Olá!! This week was bittersweet and a roller coaster of emotions.   First thing was family goodbyes.  Last weekend was a time full of fun just being able to spend time with each other.  I'm grateful for my brothers who took the time to come home to spend the weekend with me.  I love them both sooo much and will miss them greatly!  The goodbyes were sooooo hard.  I feel like I just did this with their missions.  Second thing, it was my last week in the MTC :(  I can't believe 6 weeks have passed already.  I have loved every minute of it and I feel I learned so much!  While it was hard staring at my screen for 6+ hours a day, my district and my instructors made it worth it!  I love all of them so much!   We had such fun times in class whether learning how to teach a certain principle, playing connect 4, or learning slang terms to use in Brazil lol, we always made the best of the situation.  I'm so gratefu...

Choose to be Happy!

Oiii gente! This week went by so fast! This last week was full of trainings with our mission president and his wife.  Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday we had trainings.  It almost felt like I was back in the home mtc doing classes on zoom again haha. I couldn't understand much, only a little bit.  But from what I could understand, I learned about becoming an effective missionary and learned about repentance. My week, I felt like, was centered around repentance.  It started with my parent's emails to me.  During their stake conference, they had Elder Mike Jones there, and he said that "repentance begins when our behavior changes."  (Thanks dad for sending me this in your email!)  Looking back, this line had set the mood for the rest of the week.   Also, during one of our trainings, my mission president talked about how we need to have faith to repent.  True repentance cannot be done without faith in Jesus Christ and faith in the power of Chr...

New comp and new area!

  Oii meus amigos e família! This week has been a little crazy and a lot happened. Tuesday I actaully got transferred to a new area and a new companion.  Her name is Sister De Paula. We cover two areas since there's not a whole lot of missionaries here.  We are in Jardim Palmares and Jardinópolis.   Wednesday, we got up and did out studies and then had lunch.  After lunch we went to the church that is just up the street so we could work.  We go there everyday since we can get wifi while we work. Then Thursday was my first zone conference!  It was the first time being in person again since covid and it was fun to see all the missionaries there.  We had a day full of training and ate a yummy lunch! Side note, the food here is AMAZING!!!  We have rice and beans with every lunch with a type of meat and sometimes potatoes, and other things.  We get lunch delivered to us everyday so that is nice!  We get so much food I can't even eat...
