Wow I just love being a missionary. This week was a fun one! We've been waiting this week to hear from our president about quarantine since the stay-at-home order in AZ was lifted on Saturday... but we are still being quarantined for now. But we are still finding so many ways to teach over technology. That has been the biggest difference from being in Brazil (besides the different language): How much we use our cell phones here! It's CRAZY but so helpful.
One of my companions, Sister Gilbert is leaving today to go home since she's been here for 18 months. I'm gonna miss her but I love Sister Dangerfield and am excited to stay with her in Casa Grande!!

So some pretty exciting things happened this week. One funny thing is that while we were teaching our friend James, we were asking him if he would want to pray to end our message with him, but instead he asked one of us to, so I prayed. I prayed specifically for him and his arthritis and afterwards he said, "Wow. Just wow. I mean Sister, you should be a preacher!" That was so funny and made me feel happy.
Our President has something he calls the "Tempe Trumpet" and every day he talks to all the missionaries and we all share miracles we had the day before. A couple days ago he challenged us to contact 20 people. And so me and my companions really wanted to try and do that. It seemed impossible, but we were able to do it!! And we were able to share some pretty awesome messages with people.
One nice thing is that we are allowed to go out and do service for an hour each day. So one day we decided to weed for this lady. And her yard was CRAZY!! But we were able to make it look really good within that hour and she was surprised as well hahaha!!

The best part of this week was being able to teach our friend Jesse. I talked about him last week and how he was praying for a baptism date. Well, we scheduled a time to call him and he had things come up and couldn't answer the time that we had scheduled a time to call over text. So we decided to call him randomly, and it was a time he could talk and he answered and we were able to set up a date for him on June 6 to be baptized!!! We are so excited for him. He already loves to read the Book of Mormon and reads it so well. He's awesome.
My first week here in Tempe was really hard. I felt homesick for Utah and Brazil, but this week I decided to forget that and focus on the work here and it really helped me and I can tell I'm loving it here more and more each day. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be a missionary. It is truly a blessing and I'm so happy I get to talk about my Savior everyday.
Also... my sister Emily got engaged and that's EXCITING!!!!
Love you all so much!!
Love Sister Guilott ♡
