look at this tree in the streets of rosario!!! isn't it amazing?? :)
good
●we got an awesome reference this week. the wife is strong in her church and
has a ton of faith. she was thinking about everything we taught you could tell,
but had a hard time because for years and years she’s followed another church
and now she’s realizing her church might not be true. excited to see where
things go with them. also a good sidenote is they have a little market in the
front of their house and always give us treats and pop after teaching
appointments. #winning
helped the youth get the church all cleaned up and ready for their halloween dance:)
no bad!!!!
i am constnatly getting drenched in brazil!!!
awk (start then
turns awesome)
●dia dos mortos aka we went to the cemetary.
what did we do there? we talked to people about the plan of salvation.
at first i was super worried people would be offended but actually people were
very receptive and it was a great experience.
awesome
●i received the happiest phone call saturday night. THAMIRES WAS BAPTIZED!
remember thamires from cruz alta?? 14. smoked. is like my little sister. sister
rodrigues called and let me talk to her. i am so so so happy that she finally
committed and was baptized. she was so happy and so cute. i told her i would
see her in january before i leave my mission and she said “you know january really isnt that far away?
in young women’s we are already planning activities for january” i died from
joy and happiness!!
THAMIRES WAS BAPTIZED!!! please everyone know how much i lover her:)
●inspiration, leaders, and the priesthood **
●i think... a miracle might happen and cute sabrina (yeah i didn’t even know
she was our investigator too!! haha.) might be baptized this week. she’s 8 and
her siblings are members but lately she’s been going to church all alone! to be
honest, i have always felt a special love for her. but, who wouldn’t? she’s so
cute and strong. i didn’t really know her story but now we do and know that she
needs to be baptized!! woohooo.
this is lariane in the middle, my homegirl in rosario do sul
**so this week my zone leader called to ask
how things were going. one of my zone leaders was in the ctm with me so we get
along well and i’m not afraid to tell him what’s really up. i told him about
some problems I’d been having and he gave me a section in the doctrine and
covenants to read and asked me how long it’s been since i read my patriarchal
blessing? it had been a couple weeks since I had read it, so he told me not to
just read it but to study it too. (a patriarchal blessing is a blessing that
members of the church may receive from a church patriarch. It is a personal blessing that is given and becomes
like scripture just for you! it tells you about some of the promises and
blessings that Heavenly Father has waiting for you—it also tells you of things
that may be your weaknesses that you’ll need to work on) the section in the
doctrine in covenants he made me read was perfect for what i’m going through
and of course reading my blessing is like the best thing you can do to feel
Heavenly Father’s love for me individually.
oops! ju ju got ahold of my lipstick!
another side note. this ward has some of the
cutest men. ok don’t take that the wrong way. but seriously! i just love them. the other day i saw two men
in white shirts and ties walking in the road.. but, it wasn’t the elders. it
was the branch president and another member visiting members. (lots of the
members don’t have cars so they were just doing their thing.. walking like us!)
also there’s another member, he’s deaf but EVERY SUNDAY he is there. there is
no one to translate for him. He comes to partake of the sacrament and to just
feel the spirit. he can’t hear anything.
he also went to ALL of the sessions of general conference. then there’s another
member with disabilities. but he always bears his testimony. it’s a little hard
to understand but the spirit is so strong! when he bore his testimony last week
it was the one that touched me so deeply and made me cry.
anyways… i know this letter is all over the
place butttt. that’s that folks. things are going. this is the last week of
transfers.. we will know what will happen friday. i’m a little nervous! but, let’s
not forget that the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is on the earth today. it is
there waiting for the seekers of truth.
dienifer, my comp and me before a family night at betas:)

ok, here's the story:
sick sick sick i thought we were going to eat this.. i
almost got sick, but then i found out they were just preparing it for another
meal. now i kinda regret it because a picture like this would have been cool
but i saw it and went far away and just let the other missionaries take
pictures with my camera haha.
