Hey guys! It is that time once again when all the missionaries flood to Facebook Messenger to talk with family and carpe diem ("seize the day"). And here Ive got some updates about how I seized each and every single day this last week:

Monday - Bucket List: make cookies✅️ We made cookies! We went over to a member family and made cookies with Duda. Mateus e Dudas dad liked them so thats a win in my book (knowing that we didnt have the right measuring cups😅)
COOKIE |
Tuesday - Today was the usual work in the rain and find new people until we got a call from our house maintance friend, Ademir! He called us to head back to the house so that we could get heaters. I realized a few weeks ago that our house didnt have a heater and that our house should have one so, WE GOT ONE!!!🤩🤩
Wednesday - MISSION DEVOCIONAL!! We studied this conference talk that talked about the importance of the sacrament and how we should always be willing to partake of the sacrament and have the spirit to be with us. I also listened to a conference talk by President Nelson called "The Book of Mormon: What would your life be like without it". I invite everyone to listen to this talk and think, where would you be without the Book of mormon.
Baptism? |
Musical chairs |
Friday - Today we got to bring our recent converts Fernanda and Jucelino to the temple! We didnt make a reservation so because of the numbers I just watched but it is always a miracle to see the children of God in the Lords home, helping those of his children on both sides of the veil.
Saturday - Today Elder Lima was sick after eating something so we confirmed the maximum number of people we could and then headed back home. Elder Lima then asked me for a priesthood blessing and I am happy to know he trusts me to offer a blessing for him. I know this blessing worked because..
Aguilhr |
Sunday - we were able to bring people to church today and Elder Lima had the strength to press onward. The highlight of today was when our friend Alan (10 years old) invited us to eat cake with him to celebrate his birthday after church. He is sure a pure soul and reminds me of myself in many ways. And the highlight for the week, I tried this drink that is like Coffee but isnt called "Cervada". I officially know now that I dont like the taste of coffee😅 ill stick to coffe bread

This week I have been focusing a lot on the Book of Mormon and how it truly holds a fulness of the gospel and how it is essential in our lives. How President Nelson says: "The full power of the gospel of Jesus Christ is contained in the Book of Mormon. Period." And i know this is true! We need to help everyone recieve the answers and blessings this book offers for everyone!
