Palmas Zone Conference 5/28/2021
Monday, May 31, 2021
Helloooo! Here's your weekly update from Sister Guilott! I love Brazil, but the heat is getting worse and worse here everyday... and it's even worse when you don't have air conditioning, but hey that's the sacrifice you can make for the Lords work!
This last week was a super fun week! We had lots of exciting things happen this week.
Sisters in Palmas - together in our small apartment!
The other sisters here in Palmas are still living with us, and they had a baptism on Wednesday, and they invited us! But we could only go if we had an investigator there. And the baptism started in like 2 hours, so we asked everyone and they all gave excuses of why they couldn't go. So we asked Jeldes (our friend who is progressing a lot) and he told us that he was in charge of something with his church the same time as the baptism, but that he could ask one of his buddies to do it for him. We waited for a while, and he finally texted us back saying that he would love to go to the baptism. And WOWZA, it was such a cool experience! He looooved it! The members in this ward were so kind to him, and man you can just see his love for our church growing. Now that we are starting to have more things in person with church, it is helping our friends so much to have the desire to learn more!!
This week we also had Zone Conference! Presidente and Sister Priday came down and the assistants! Since we are the Sister training leaders, we got to go to a fancy restaurant with them and the zone leaders on Thursday, the restaurant was by the beach, so we felt some wind and it was a blessed moment to not be drenched in sweat for once. But it was so fun to see all of them!

Then Friday, we had our Zone Conference! And what Zone Conference is, is when all the missionaries in this area meet together and receive trainings from the zone leaders, the sister training leaders (us), and presidente! It was so much fun to get to know more missionaries, and to be all together in person!!
Zone Conference 5/28/21
We had our friend Kalim come to church this last week! He is super awesome, and super short hahaha! But he loved coming to church. Almost everyone who comes to church, always tells us that they love the reverence of church and the feeling of the spirit there. I always love hearing that. We also gave him a Book of Mormon and will hopefully see him at church next week as well!
We visited our bff Rafaella, and taught her and her mom the plan of Salvation. Rafaella is a little hard to teach, because she is so set on her beliefs. But her mom, was alllll for the plan of Salvation. She accepted it so easily! She will definitely progress! We just don't remember her name though.... awkward hahah!
This week was awesome, and the miracles are showing from our faith and hard work! Tomorrow marks 17 months of being a missionary, and it's been the hardest and best 17 months of my life!

Baking - in 100 degree heat and humidity!
At the end of the day!
While I was in Yuma, we found and met this wonderful man and began his teaching. He got baptized this weekend.
My companion I trained is now in that area and helped finish his teaching. AWESOME DAY!
