Whats crack-a-lackin brosss

This week was full of the Christmas spirit!! 

Hope you're all enjoying the cold weather. I'm out here burning on the face of the sun. So that's great. 


SUBJECT EXPLANATION:

Its super funny to hear Christmas songs about the snow here. The only "cold" that people feel here is from the air conditioning 🙃


WEEKLY LIGHTS: 

-we ate dragonfruit!! I loveeeee dragonfruit! Its soooo tastyyyyy and soooo prettyyyy

- met a lot of inactive families this week!

- received a blessing :)))

- had a lesson with Brother Tom!! 

- gave a talk in church yesterday ....

- learning how to correct with love ♡

- met someone who served with my friend !!

- watched the stake Christmas concert yesterday. It was awesome.



KACHOW MOMENT: 

our mission had a goal this week to give out 36 Book of Mormons. EACH COMPANIONSHIP. And we crushed it. We saw some miracles. For real.


SPIRITUAL MOMENT: 

I gave my talk on forgiveness! Specifically on how we can receive forgiveness from our Heavenly Father thanks to Jesus Christ's Infinite Atonement. Some days feel like the end. Like there's no coming back. 

BUT. 

THATS THE ENEMY TALKING. 

With the power of Jesus's Grace and Love, THERE IS A WAY BACK. No matter what you may have done, who you may have hurt, Christ is STILL REACHING OUT FOR YOU. 

I love the example in the Book of Alma 36, when alma is recounting his conversion. Verses 20 and 21: 

20 And oh, what joy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain! 

21 Yea, I say unto you, my son, that there could be nothing so exquisite and so bitter as were my pains. Yea, and again I say unto you, my son, that on the other hand, there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy!


I love that. We too can feel that joy. That joy that will make us forget our pain. 

Reach out to Him. 

He's calling you by name. 

Come unto Christ. 

(Go listen to the song come unto Christ. It will change your life. Trust me.)



PRAY FOR:

Gabe and his lil fam bam

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 ...
