What's good in the hood?
*I was trying to explain that I was crying so hard, but accidentally said I was raining so hard. The words are super similar in português okay?
This week was BONKERS
how was conference everyone?!
I LOVED WHAT WAS SAID! Well, I think. I watched the entire thing in Portuguese. But the Spirit I felt was UNMATCHED.
When I decided to watch it in Portuguese I prayed to understand what I needed to learn. And then I prayed to understand the spirit of what was being said. MAN ALIVE DOES GOD ANSWER PRAYERS. I have no idea if what I got from conference was what was said but it was what I needed to hear.
These are the top themes that I picked up on throughout the weekend:
- God's love is a force stronger than ANYTHING
- Apply and LIVE the doctrine of Christ all day, everyday.
- We have all we have and are who we are because of Jesus Christ and His Atonement.
- STUDY THE ATONEMENT OF CHRIST! (I'm doing this too so if you have a favorite conference talk or scripture PLEASE SEND IT MY WAY!)

KACHOW MOMENT:
small thing BUT MAKING MONEY MOVES OVER HERE. Sister Barros and I were having a rough time with finding people who were interested. I suggested that we write our testimonies in the livros de Mórmon and then pray to know who we should give it to. So I wrote my ENTIRE TESTIMONY IN PORTUGUESE. WITHOUT A TRANSLATOR. It wasn't all grammatically correct but it was all true. It was all the spirit. And then we walked 10 feet, not joking. And gave it to a woman who we ran into.
CHRIST LIVES. HE HELPS US WITH ALL IN OUR LIVES.
Things to pray for:
- Sister Palharin and her family
- Elder Hodges in macèio
God loves you and Só do I!!
