The Adventures of Sister Guilott: Week #76

Monday, July 5, 2021

HELLOOOO EVERYBODY!

Welp, this is it. It's finally come to an end. My last email yo you all on the mission! That's right, I am flying home to Utah on Friday and will get there on Saturday. But I still have these last couple of days to finish out strong! But before I go on, let me tell you about the amazing miracles we saw this week...

We started off our week by going to a super sweet lady's home in our ward! And her daughter had invited 2 of her friends who aren't members to their home to participate in a family home evening with us! And we got there and got to know them and shared a message with them, and they both seemed interested in learning more!

This last week, we had our zone conference and it was so fun! Sadly, it was my last zone conference. But we received lots of advice from our mission presidente and from others as well! And I got to see a bunch of my buddies and say goodbye to them while I was there! For those that are leaving, they get the opportunity to share their testimony with everyone. So I did! And it was sad... but it was still good!

Now for some pretty cool miracles that happened this week... we were teaching some members and our way back home, a cute old lady was out front of her home; her name is Dosanjos. And we stopped and started to talk to her for a minute. Next thing you know, she invites us into her home! And so we taught her about the Book of Mormon and we are going to go back tonight to teach her more!

So now the coolest miracle... we got text from a cute girl named Ana, who we thought was a member because she had told us she goes to our church on Sundays. But she texted us telling us that she needed to talk to us, so we call her to talk--lol. And this is the message she sent to us: "I am wanting to get baptized on Tuesday and am wanting to get my baptism interview on Sunday night. Is that okay?" Welp..... OF COURSE IT IS!! So our wonderful friend Ana is finally getting baptized tomorrow. She had to wait awhile too because her mom wouldn't allow her too, but her mom finally said yes! And she is so ready to be baptized. And what a miracle that I'm still here to see this miracle!

Beautiful Ana - I love her already so much!

This week, on July 1st, I hit 18 MONTHS!! My oh my has it been the craziest 18 months... from starting in Brazil, being kicked out, going home for a month, getting reassigned to Arizona Tempe, stayed there for 9 months, then I returned to Brazil!!! And during those 18 months, my sister had a baby and my other sister got married. So you could say I've been through a lot, but it was all worth it.

Because I got to serve my Savior, and I got to see other come unto Him.

I know that this church is true.

One blessing from serving a mission is that my faith is unshakeable now! And I know that the only way we can feel this happiness is by coming into our Savior and following His example.

Thank you to all for the support and love the last 18 months, and I am excited to see you all in person!
