SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: 

I can't think of the scripture reference but you know that scriptures "with small and simple things, great things come to pass"? This is the story with Laura. Two weeks ago, Laura and her mom were walking by the church and just walked in. Luckily, we were there on a phone call. Laura is 15 and was curious about the church, so they walked in. Sister cetre needed to finish our phone call so I got up and started talking with them. It was super simple, we gave them a book of Mormon and got their information to talk with them later that week. Well, we tried countless times in these last two weeks to get in contact with her, we invited her to church and seminary and nothing stuck. We were almost about to call it, but I felt like sending one more message with hopes that we could make it work. I wasn't going to give up.

It worked. We had a lesson with her over the phone and she asked how she can be baptized?! We invited her to be baptized and it was so awesome. 

This just proves that #sisterpetersondoesntgiveup


KACHOW MOMENT: 

Sister cetre gave me this one, but these past two weeks here I have been able make my way around this area SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE LAST 2 TRANSFERS IN MY LAST AREA. I have a talent for having an internal compass, and it's starting to show here. Also, im getting a lot better at remembering people's names !!!


Things to pray for:

- not to give up 

- Laura's mom


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. I'm serious she's fine, she laughed about it immediately after.  WEEKLY LIGHTS:  - Miguel e Vitoria were interviewed for baptism! But they have kinda lost the desire to be baptized.

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 ...
