Subject explanation: 

The bairro ( suburb) that we live in ran out of water on Tuesday. we showed up at our apartment after sweating and working all day so excited to take a shower, and nothing. So we ended up spending the night at some other sisteres apartment, which was awesome! Kinda a struggle to have 4 girls share one shower and bathroom... but we are so grateful for the sisteres of maniera 🙏🏼🙏🏼


How's the heat in the states?? Right now is kinda a funny time because its actually a lot hotter back home than it is here kkkk 


WEEKLY LIGHTS:

- blitz in bessa!!

- we invited Junior to be baptized and he accepted!! He lives in another area but we are working with the other sisteres and he will still attend the same church building! (And he bought us açaí to celebrate 🎉)

- we got the new preach my gospel!! 

- went to a rodízio de pizza. It's like Disneyland for pizza lovers. (I ate 11 pieces) 

- Elder Harvey's bdayyyy

- we met the cousin of a member who has the BIGGEST desire to be baptized! We made American cookies !! 

- Saw a pretty big lizard this week 


SPIRITUAL THOUGHT:

A few years ago when this talk came out I fell in love with it. Ive loved it for years. I swear I listened to it three or four times every week in Provo lol. This part specifically catches my eye EVERYTIME. 

"When it comes to your happiness and salvation, it is always worth the effort to keep trying. It is worth the effort to adjust your lifestyle and traditions. The Lord is aware of the challenges you face. He knows you, He loves you, and I promise, He will send angels to help you."

The talk is called I believe in Angels. It's by Elder Godoy. It will change your life. I promise that if we keep pushing through those tough times, doing the right things, we will see differences. We will be blessed!! 


KACHOW MOMENT: 

We gave out 50 BOMs this week!! We have a mission wide goal to give out 3 every day, every missionary. And we knocked it out of the park! It's so much fun to spread the gift and blessing that the Book of Mormon is with everyone!! 



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 ...
