SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: 
So, we met Ana two weeks ago, like my first day in Prosind and she didn't seek very interested. BUT we followed the Spirit and set up a lesson. We taught the Restoration and she kept interrupting us and talking about random things. After about an hour and still not finishing the lesson, we felt like we needed to wrap it up and go. Then, the last time she interrupted us, she said "I've never been super religious but I feel that God has been telling me that now is the time. And then you knocked on my door. I want to go to church, when is it?" WHATTTTT. We were so shocked. So we finished the lesson, and she said that she would come to church! Then, we came back on Saturday and taught the plan of salvation with a member. She talked so much. But we talked about baptism and she said that she wanted to get to know the church before she was baptized. So she came to church and said that it was an unforgettable experience and she wants to get baptized! It was so cool!! MorAl of the story: follow the Spirit, He'll never lead you astray. 

Kachow moment:
We were having trouble finding the house of a member and I had never been to this part of the area. But, I went up to strangers and asked them if they knew where it was and had a full conversation with them. And I understood everything. They understood everything. #kachow my companion even said that she hasn't even done that before haha


Things to pray for: 
Eloisa's mom
Antônio 
Strength to go with God's plan


God loves you and so do I!

João Amorim, 429 Centro 58013-310 João Pessoa - PB Brazil SUBJECT EXPLANATION:  We were walking one night to the church on a road that we've walked plenty of times before and out of nowhere, my companion gets nailed in the head with a rock. Like a full on pedra. Yeah, it was some drugged lady who threw it. #prayforher Sister Facchini is fine and wasn't hurt but it was kinda cool not gonna lie.

How has everyone's week been?!  My subject line is kindly brought to you by Elder Van Tassel and my quote book.  This week's spiritual thought is brought to you by my own stubbornness and President M. Russel Ballard.  Flashback to before I got my mission call. I was so excited to go and serve! I had a sure feeling that I was going to South America, you could ask anyone, I knew I was going to South America. However, I thought I would be Spanish speaking. I had a background in Spanish and am minoring in it at school and overall just love the language. Then I got called to the only country in South America that doesn't speak Spanish. I was in shock for a while which ...
