good
●we helped out with the radio this saturday! we went to drop
something off for the other sister missionaries but they asked us to stay when
they were doing the radio show. i got to man the facebook part. hence… why i
added you abby. it was super hectic but super fun! i will steal the pic sister
mendonça took and send it in next week’s email :)
●the fact that joão always has ice cream waiting for us when we
visit him.
bad
the fact that we spent all of last pday looking for a skirt for
my comp for zone conference and there was NOTHING within the price range that
was missionary appropriate and cute. ughhhhhhhh. we literally went in every
store cruz alta has to offer.
●so we showed up to lunch one day and they forgot so they gave us
money. but we didn’t have much time so we just made a pizza. don’t ask how much
we ruined the pizza…the kind you just put in the oven. it was a rough
day.

trainings. and we helped the sister training leaders with theirs and had to act

first visit.

●we had our first successful ward activity--lots more to come. it made me so so happy. had investigators, less actives, and members. it was super great! our ward needs lots of activity because they are not very united.

k i have to be quick buttttt this week was GREAT.
zone conference was super good and passed by so fast. after i
thought lots about the spirit. they say if you have the spirit you’re worthy
and you’re doing it right and God is accepting your work. i have more than one
year doing this work now and i’m not having tear shedding experiences everyday…
but do i still have the spirit? i got super worried. do i teach what He wants
me to teach? i talked to my companion about it because that night i thought
lots about it all. she told me about an experience that happened this week that
she felt the spirit really strong when i taught. we were teaching thamires, and
she seemed very unexcited and hopeless. she had been smoking that morning and
was honestly just being so so annoying. i didn’t know what to say to her. i was
just so frustrated. so i said a prayer, asking for help to know what she needed
to hear. after... i just looked her in the eyes and told her how much i loved her
and how much Heavenly Father loves her. and i told her the potential she can
reach but only if she keep the
commandments. i don’t know if it really helped, but it had to because it wasn’t
me speaking. then throughout the week i had lots of other experiences that
really helped me have the confirmation that the spirit is constantly guiding
this work when we follow it.
this work is so great!!! we have a few people so so so so close
to being baptized. maybe this week we will have a miracle, but if not next week
for sure. i pray.
i love you all sooooo much.
have a great week. ta bom? xoxoxo ash aka sister faldmo
we never drink the chimarrão... but every family wants to serve it to us
