Week #75 - Giving thanks - "sing praises unto the Lord!"

Monday, June 28, 2021

HOWDY EVERYBODY!! It's already been a week? Really? Man... time is going super fast. Which makes me nervous because I only have a week and a half left before I come home!! What? Where did the last 18 months go? But I have seen lots of miracles this past week! Let me tell you about some of them.

The new American sister finally got here, so now I am with Sister Melanson and I am so sad we don't have more time together because I LOOOVE her!! But we are honestly the same person hahaha! We love the same music, dance parties, and we have the same personality. Its been a little hard with helping 3 American sisters learn a language that I'm still trying to learn as well, but they are doing good!! 

We taught our friend Pedro this week about the gospel of Jesus Christ and he told us that he wants to he baptized!! Just that we wants to learn a little bit more first, so we are helping him to get a Book of Mormon and we are trying to get him to church as well!! So that right there was a miracle! 

We have been trying super hard to find new people to teach in our areas, and one thing we have decided to do is use Facebook. To be honest, I don't really like using facebook. I never had success with us and some people sent some pretty mean things to me, so I always steered clear of it. Until this week, and I message a bunch of people one day... and only got one response... from someone who was already a member of our church 😂 what are the odds with that? But, I still had faith and sent a couple more messages. And Sunday night, I got a message back from someone, and she said: "Hi there! My name is Karla, and i am wanting to get closer to God. Here's my number!" uhh.... MIRACLES! So we have a lesson scheduled with Karla tonight to teach her some more about our beliefs! 

Another cool miracle was also on Sunday, when we were calling a bunch of people who used to be taught by the missionaries, and we called Fábia, and she told she didn't remember talking to missionaries, but that she is super interested! She told us to even send her our address of our church building so she could come to church with us... OKAY!! 

Me and Sister Melanson were praying a lot to find some new people to teach, and look what happened when we had faith! It was honestly such a cool miracle. And then after these miracles, Sister Melanson told me, "We should say a prayer of gratitude for these new friends we found!" And I loved that! And then my dad today talked to me about that too. And he shared this scripture that I'll share with all of you guys.

Ether 6:9

"And they did sing praises unto the Lord; yea, the brother of Jared did sing praises unto the Lord, and he did thank and praise the Lord all the day long; and when the night came, they did not cease to praise the Lord."

Éter 6:9

"E cantavam louvores ao Senhor; sim, o irmão de Jarede cantava louvores ao Senhor e agradecia e glorificava ao Senhor o dia todo; e quando chegava a noite, não cessavam de louvar ao Senhor."

This week I want to invite all of you to give thank to our Lord for all of your blessings, and you will feel so much more happiness in your days!! 

Até mais!
