Sister Kennedy Findlay Brazil Ribeirão Preto & Arizona Gilbert Mission 2021-2022

  Hello everyone!  How is everyone doing? This email is going to be pretty short...I've been getting used to the new area here in Rio Preto. It's been a bit of struggle getting people to teach here...I've felt like I've been opening this area.  So, we've been doing a lot to find new people and teach. This week we had zone conference and that was really good! We talked a lot about loving other people and ministering like the Savior.  It was something I really needed!  And then we went to a churrascaria!! We went to a restaurant for the first time in FOREVER!!! Wahoo! Lol, the food was great, and it was a really good day! Seriously that's all I got, boring email but I hope everyone has an awesome week! Love you all! Sister Findlay

  Sorry this is from two weeks ago... Heyyy!  How is everyone?!  Another week, and another transfer!  Today is transfers so I am traveling and don't have a ton of time to write this week. But here is the transfer news!  I got transferred from Franca 😥to Rio Preto (back to the HEAT!)  I wish I could stay in Franca at least one more transfer.  I really loved it here, but I'm sure my new area will be great! I will be getting a new companion and I'll be living with the stls again!!  Should be fun!  Other news, we had our baptism yesterday!!  It sure was an amazing day!  Our friend who got baptized lives far away.  We have been teaching her online.  So Sunday was the first day we met her in person!  She literally cried when she saw us!  And she just was sooo happy and even happier after she was baptized!  I can't explain the amount of joy and happiness on her face! I love being a missionary for this reason!...

  Hello everyone!!! How is everyone doing?! Happy pday!!  Can't believe it's another pday! This week was good!  To start, I HIT MY NINE MONTH MARK...HALF WAY!!  How is this possible?  I literally feel like last month I was starting the mtc. Wow, time flies by so fast! To celebrate we got pizza, half calabresa and half frango com catipury!  Pizza here is sooo good!  Second...we had a visitor with us this week.  Sister Tegerdine!!!  One of my companions that I had like 6 months ago.  She is a traveling stl here in the mission so she gets to visit the sisters in the mission...and this week was our turn!!  I learned a lot about planning and how to improve teaching.  It was definitely a fun week with her! Other than that, this week was pretty low key.  We are getting a tonnnnnn of referrals from social media, so we have had a bit of a hard time keeping up with them.  But we've got a good system now so hopefully that will h...
