SPIRITUAL THOUGHT:
Monday after Pday ended, we were walking down a road that we had been down before. We walked next to this house that had two cats on its step. Now, if you know me, you know I don't like cats. I'm a HUGE DOG PERSON. This one time, I just happened to say "ahh 2 gatinhos, que fofinho!!" (Ahh two kittens, how cute?!) Then Sister Barros said "we should stop here then, the spirit says." So we stop and meet ana Paula! She was taking care of her son who was sick. We asked if she had heard of our church and the book of Mormon, and SHE HAD. She was just reading the Book of Mormon with her son when we stopped!
Basically, FOLLOW THE SPIRIT. Even if it means that you need to say that cats are cute, out loud. #sorrymom I can't remember where I heard this bit when you start acting on the little promptings, you will be more prepared to receive the bigger promptings. I KNOW THIS IS TRUE!!
KACHOW MOMENT:
I was having a hard time one day and I didn't know how to explain it in Portuguese to tell my companion. So I held it in. BIG MISTAKE. HUGE. But Sister Barros, being an angel, got out Google translate and I was able to explain to her what was going on and we talked about it, through Google translate. It was a small thing BUT man, it helped.
Things to pray for:
My grandma and grandpa ❤️
Gleici
God loves you all and so do I!! Email, message, write me throughout the week! I'll try and reply next week but they really help me throughout the week!!
Have a GREAT WEEK!
