Week 38 July 18, 2016 "Slow Week, but New Goals."
So, this week has been a little slow, and not much has happened. We visited with our investigator family, but they still won´t go to church.... We have some new plans for how we can help them, but if the don´t progress, we will have to drop them :( We found a less active family who were baptized five years ago, and that practically everyone forgot. We have a fhe with them today, and the bishop´s family will join us, so it should be good :) I got sick onFriday, and to stay in house for two days, but I am back to healthy normal again! <y companion and I had clear impressions Friday night to clean out our area books (we have five) and found a lot of old investigators|!! We have plans to visit them all in the next two to three weeks! I am so excited! Well, not much to say about this week! Até mais!

Week 36 July 4, 2016 "I Love Training"
Nossa!!!! I love training!! My new companion is Sister de Lima! She is from Natal, and is 27 years old. She is the only member in her family, and her desire to serve the Lord is incredible. She is such a good example, and I am so blessed to have her as my companion (e filha :) Our investigator family (Willian, Ramona, and their two little children) is progressing a little (except for the fact that they were not ib church Sunday :( We will visit them on Tuesday. They accepted our invitation for baptism, if they recieve an answer to their prayers. I know that they will, because on our third lesson with them, we asked Ramona if she had prayed, and she told us that she had, and with her whole heart. She then told us that there was a presence really strong, and that it was good, but that she was a little scared. Ww have many plans for them this week. My ward is so wonderful, and I feel so blessed to serve here. The members are maravilhoso!! I don´t have much more to share, but I love you all!!! Have a wonderful 4th of July!!!! I will celebrate Brasilian style (....)
Até mais!! Tchau!

Hi mom :) This week has been interesting in it´s own ways. Emergency transfer means that the mission president need me in an other area before transfers were done. I have been with Sister Jennifer for the past week, and it has been wonderful. We found a new family to teach, but they were not at church on Sunday, which was sad. I and my new, new companion will visit them again this week. Oh yes!! Prepare for the news.......... I WILL TRAIN!!!!! I will stay in the area I am in, and will train a new missionary :) I am a little nervous because this area is HUGE, and I have only been here a week!! President Oliveira says that he trusts me, so with the Lord on my side, I hope to perform miricles in this area :) there are still days when my foot hurts so bad that my companion and I had to return home early because I just couldn´t stand to walk. i want to ask for a priesthood blessing because I feel that my foot won´t heal without much time to rest, and not walk a lot. I can´t do that. So I will ask for one this week.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!! i LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I am glad to hear that your birthdays were wonderful :)
Oh yes, mom, I will look into doing the thing that relieves stress, I think i need it. I love hearing what is going on at home, and am happy to hear about your experiences :) How is Alyssa by the way? She has never responded to my emails.... :( I want to hear how she is doing. So I´m guessing that Sister Jones is now in the mission field ;) This time in my life is so cool!!
Last week i discovered something that i knew before, but that I didn´t really apply in my life before. With great pain in my foot, and the long distance, sometimes thoughts of returning home, home penetrates my mind; just a little bit. But I don´t want to, and I can´t. With new and scary things, and can´t help but cry just a little. Sharing the gospel with the people hear brings me such happiness that I cannot explain, but at the same time I fill pain when they do not accept, and with feeling pains in my body, life is difficult. During my personal study this week, I thought about the Saviors great atoning sacrifice, and how he asked the Father to take away the cup, but then after he said this, He said "Not my will, but Thine be done." I am carrying my cross, and with this pain and joy that I have felt the past four weeks, I reali]zed that this is what My Savior felt, and His was a great deal more than what I feel. He completed His mission, and so will I!!!
I love you all soooooo much :) Até mais!!! Tchau!
P.S. I will explain more about my new companion next time because I still have yet to learn her name!!
