Week 65: Milagres e uma mudança

So this week we decided to fast to have a baptism next week. We have been meeting a lot of neat people this week, but a lot of them weren't able to go to church or are having other difficulties, so we decided to put our faith in God and fast to find someone. Sunday morning we went to bring people to church and the family that we were most sure would go ended up sleeping in and the other people we invited bailed at the last minute. So we were walking to church and my companion had the thought to pass by the house of a guy we had met recently and hadn't really taught yet. We didn't have a ton of time but we decided to go, and it turned out that he was awake and willing to go to church. While he got ready we prayed and gave thanks for the miracle. He turned out to be the only person who went that day.

We got to church and it was awesome, like it always is. The guy we brought, Junior, made friends with all the YSAs and our Ward Mission Leader (quem é muito mole e não ajuda muito) offered to go visit him with us.

But God super loves us and if that wasn't enough, we were talking with some of the youth after the service and my companion found out that one of the young women (who's there pretty much every week since I've been in this ward) has not, in fact, been baptized due to a few complications that we will resolve this week. And so, I just wanted to bear testimony that when we fast and pray in faith, if it is the will of the Lord, He will make miracles happen in our lives.

Also we moved houses! Instead of having each of the two duplas in this ward with their own house, we are living together now, which has been wild. We were living in an apartment over a mechanic, which I loved, but now we're in a house that's a bit bigger and it's been a good time.

It's been a good week. 10/10 would recommend. Love y'all!

Week 36: AS AGUAS DO BATISMO

Image
This week the computer I'm using has a really awful keyboard so I'm going to do this in pictures. Enjoy! BATISMO!!! Here we have Kethelynn and Kemmily, who are the cutest girls you've ever met. They're super excited about the gospel and were baptized yesterday! They ate all the cake... but that's okay; it was their special day. We were visiting Kethelynn and Kemmily and they stole my camera and started filming things. I thought I'd take advantage of it so I filmed a video for y'all! The only problem is that it's in Portuguese (and also is really quiet and I'm not sure why). Anyway. Enjoy! Kethelynn made this for me. It means, "Don't let your fears decide for you."   Our zone! Everyone's crazy The world's saddest sight. I'm finally running out of peanut butter. This jar, at least..... Randomness that makes me happy So we have this thing where we challenge pe

Week 8: Eu Não Falo Português.... (muito bem)

So it´s been about two weeks in Brasil now, and boy-oh-boy it´s been a time. A good time, of course, but there have been some things to get used to. Like the language, for example. Fun fact: the people in Brasil speak Portuguese (also the keyboards are slightly different so please forgive any weird punctuation). And not only do they speak Portuguese, but they speak it quickly and about lots of different things using about a billion different words and the´re strung so tightly together that by the time you remember what the first word means they've finished the sentence. I've definitely been learning, though, and now I sometimes actually understand the gist of what people are saying. I have learned some new phrases, though. If you are ever invited to lunch in Brasil, try some of these phrases: Eu não estou com muito fome ~ I am starving* Apenas um poco mais ~ Pile it on, please Desculpa, estou cheia! ~ I haven´t eaten in a week, please give me more food Se eu como um outro

Week 28

So last week I said pretty much everything important, so I thought this week I'd share some pictures. The problem is my camera is a potato and I have yet to figure out how to consistently upload the pictures (and also I always forget to take pictures...) and so I found a few on the mission website and shamelessly stole all the good ones. Maybe one day I'll finally figure out how to post my own, but until then, enjoy these.  So here we have my first companion (Sister Gomes), my second companion (Sister K. Souza), me, a random Sister whom I don't know, my current companion (Sister Melo), and in the front is another American (Sister Anderson) who arrived the same day as me. Here are the two Sisters we're living with, Sister Arruda and Sister Sivincha. Sister Sivincha is from Bolivia (where they speak Spanish) and has a little more than 2 months in the field. Sister Arruda has a year and one month and is from Matto Grosso, Brasil.  Here's the whole miss
