Well
this has been another great week with tons of things that I won’t even have
time to count. So I will be pretty quick and share some experiences.
Yesterday
during sacrament meeting, Carmélia and Edson (our recent-converts) got up to
bare testimony. Wow. It was incredible to witness their conversion. It seemed
like they had been members for years. They bore such simple, yet so powerful
testimonies of the Lord Jesus Christ and His perfect Atonement, of the
Restoration, and of our amazing Heavenly Father. All the members bore such
great testimonies yesterday and the whole day at church was just so spiritual
and so joyful. Everyone was excited to be there and hugging and shaking hands
and smiling and yeah, it was awesome.
Saturday
we started helping the prior relief society president build her new house. So
we got to mix cement and work with brick once again. The only bummer was that I
forgot to put sunscreen on my white neck and I got burned. But it passed in
like a day so now I have a tan again haha.
I
went on a companionship exchange with the assistants in their area this week.
There in Imbiribeira. It was pretty awesome. We ate this amazing food that is
Arab. And it was pretty much just a burrito but with different sauces and
seasonings. It made me a little trunky for some Mexican food.
I
love this mission so much and I honestly cannot believe that it is coming to an
end. But I am honestly pretty happy to be here for Christmas. Though Christmas
in Brasil is different, it is great to pass it as a missionary. Focus on Christ
and help others to come unto Him.
