So this past week has been absolutely amazing! My new companion is Sister Bogado! I love her so much! She is 21 years old and is Paraguay. She was Sister Spindler's first companion in the MTC, and this is where it gets funny.....Sister Spindler is with my first companion in the MTC, Sister Hitchcock, and they are not very far from our area.
I am still in the same area. Hilda, our current progressing investigator, had May 7th as her date for baptism, but will no longer be baptized on this date because she needs to get married. We hope that she will get married soon because she wants to be baptized, and go to the temple to do the work for her deceased son who passed away 11 moths ago. She loves going to church, and she loves the Gospel. She really is another mother to me, and I love her so much.
Our other investigator, Marcio, has a baptism date for May 14!!!! He is so excited, and our last lesson with him was so wonderful, we could really feel the spirit, and so could he. He continued to say thank you because he wants this in his life. His younger Sister, Agatha, is the only member of their family and has only been a member since last August. Because her family is from Japan, they don´t believe in the same things that she now believes; but Marcio is now ready, and she too is really excited.
So I will be teaching me first English class this Friday, teaching members and anyone who wants to learn (and basically everyone we talk to on the street wants to lear. I´m a little nervous, but also excited!!
Thank you for the support, I really appreciate it!!
Até próxima semana, Tchau! -Sister Randall

Baptism day for Valdorizon!
Monday, April 4, 2016
Week 23 April 4, 2016
Oi Mãe!!!!
My week was wonderful! VALDORIZON WAS BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!! It was so cool!!! Sometimes it´s ridículas how easy it is for me to get emotional, but after his baptism, I couldn´t help but cry tears of joy. It has been an amazing experience watching him grow, and then be baptized with a testimony of this church!
General conference was good, but it was a bit difficult to understand. Today I am downloading conference in English so that I can listen to it!
So it is really hot here in Motto Grosso... I used my card again because I needed to buy a few more shirts that I am now so grateful for! Sadly, I don´t use most of the shirts that I purchased before the mission because of the heat here, and they are now only for special occasions for when I am in air conditioning most of the day (like yesterday)
This is probably my last week serving with Sister Spindler as my companion, and I kind of sad. She is so amazing, and I love her so much! I am excited though to see what will happen!
If there is anything I learned, during this transfer it is how dear the Atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ is to me. The other day I was listening to "Garden Walls" by Mindy Gledhill...how could I have not known that it was about the atonement of Jesus Christ before now?? It is my favorite song to listen to right now :) I am so grateful for my Savior, and that I can strive each day to be a better person, and also how I can be with our family forever :) I love sharing these, my testimony with our investigators, and I am continually finding joy!
I love you so much mom! Thank you for everything that you do for me!!
In all the business, remember how important family prayer and scripture reading is, for every day! Until next week :)
