João Amorim, 429 Centro 58013-310 João Pessoa - PB Brazil As missionaries in Brasil, we are on our feet all the time. It's pretty rare to ride in a car. Public transit is more common, but cars here are luxurious. With my new calling, we've had a lot of meetings at the office. It doesn't make sense to walk to the office so we usually call an uber. And this past week we had zone council. And a training at the office. And another meeting with President. AND PDAY WITH THR ENTIRE MISSION. So we have been BLESSED GREATLY and have been in a lot of cars this week. And it made me realize that I'm like that little old grandma in Christmas Vacation who loves riding in cars :) WEEKLY LIGHTS: - PIZZA. We ate SO MUCH pizza this week.  - Erivaldos baptism fell through :( - two of th...

"Always switching right?" WEEKLY LIGHTS:  - I left training!  - getting called to be a secretária?!? (Secretary to the mission)  - getting transferred to Oceania  - Leaving Sister Cetre :(( - being comps with Sister Johnson!! She's from burley Idaho!! #potatogals - putting Eerivaldo on date for baptism! SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: In relief society we talked about peace. About finding personal peace. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. The world will never be perfect. Most of the time, the world isn't peaceful. But, if we can find our peace, we can make it through. President Eyring gave a GREAT TALK on personal peace this last conference. The best way to find personal peace is through Christ. THERE IS PEACE IS CHRIST.  KACHOW MOMENT:  With leaving training, I can't rely on my companion to always talk and I just need to say the little things. So I'm trying so hard to talk more and be more involved with the lessons and it's going well!! I don't know how people understand me bu...

Sister cetre needed to finish...
