How can it already be May? It doesn't make any sense! Time is honestly flying by here. This last week, I hit my 16 months as a missionary... WHAT?! That means I only have 2 months left as a missionary! Ahhhh! Anyways, enough about that, let me tell y'all about the week I had! It was the week that felt like 5 years and also like it was only 2 days!
Our district!
This last week was the last week of this transfer, and we got transfer news and me and Sister Hernandez are staying together for this next transfer! This is technically both of our last transfer, but we both decided to extend our missions. So I'll be staying an extra 3 weeks hahaha! But I am so happy we are staying together, we are going to see so many miracles together!
Celebrate another transfer together with FLAN!
Tuesday we had our district council, and we bought yummy food and just had a fun party! It's nice because we all live decently close to each other. And I love being with other missionaries! And speaking of being with different missionaries, me and Sister Hernandez did exchanges with the other sisters. And exchanges is where we switch companions for the day and see how they are doing, how their area is doing and just help them out and get to know them better! So I got to be with Sister Mota all day on Wednesday in her area, and it was super fun! She helped me with my português, and we just got to know each other better. And then around 5pm we switched back to our normal areas hahaha!
Exchanges with Sister Mota
This last week we started up english classes here! But because covid is so bad here, we are doing it online! But it was super fun. And the cool thing is that we have already sent some referrals to other missionaries of people interested in learning more from having our one class! Miracles are out there!!
Here are some updates on some of our friends! :)
Brenda is doing good, she is starting to have a lot of questions and even some doubts which isn't good :( she has received all of our lessons but still isn't reading the Book of Mormon. I know that once she starts to read the Book of Mormon, she'll know what sacrifices she'll have to make! But she is doing good!
We have a new friend named Jeldes, and he is super awesome! He was taught by missionaries before and was almost baptized, but then he never did get baptized *yet hehe*. But he was actually taught by Sister Cunha, my mission mom!! How cool is that? He remembers everything about the Restoration, and most of his questions/doubts are about things in the temple, like eternal marriage and how that works. We explained to him that he needs more FAITH! So we went over to his home yesterday and talked about faith with him!
We have our best friend, Rafaella, and she is literally our bff hahaha! We ate hamburgers with her this last week, she made us a cake for our 16 months, she helps us out with driving us places (like for our exchange we did) and she is just the best. So we finally decided that it was time to teach her the first lesson, the Restoration! She knows a lot of stuff about our church, because she has always been so kind to the missionaries that lived here, but never officially received any of the lessons. So we went over and taught her the Restoration yesterday and she LOVED IT! The best part was that we wrote our testimonies in a Book of Mormon for her, and when we were talking about the Book of Mormon I asked her if she ever received a copy, and she said the other Sisters just showed her the Book of Mormon and never gave her one. So we gave her the Book of Mormon and she almost started crying! She is so kind and I can tell that she has that desire to learn more :)
It's been an awesome week and I am doing suuuuper good with the language, just some rules I have to understand a little better hahaha!
I love you all!!
