133

What's up, everyone! How's it going?


I'm so good. I'm just happy. And that's it. All there is to say.


Our mission for July set the goal for 100 baptisms – something that hasn't happened in years, and we weren't even close to that before. But this month, we achieved 133 baptisms as a mission. It's absolutely insane and is a modern-day miracle. Seriously, the Lord works in marvelous ways.


We have two friends who can't get baptized because they need a divorce. But instead of getting all sad, they just started sharing the gospel with everyone, getting rejected like crazy. I've been praying so hard for them to have an opportunity, and we found a family by knocking doors that knows them. They came to our second lesson with them and bore their testimonies. This family had zero interest in the beginning, but then came to church this Sunday and is progressing super well. Yet another miracle.


The Oliveira family accepted a date!! The dad has always been difficult, but during an exchange with Elder Bogado, I testified very strongly about how the gospel helps families and extended him a date. He started crying and accepted. They all came to church as well. It was an amazing experience.


A Seventy visited our branch this week and shared about our divine potential. I know that we are all sons and daughters of a loving Heavenly Father.


Man, I love the gospel so much. I love our Savior Jesus Christ and I know that these things are true. I just feel so happy right now. I love you all, and I hope you have a great week!

This week I got to do 2 exchanges which was awesome. I love doing exchanges because I learn so much and I build relationships with other missionaries. We had an exchange with a companionship called Yvy ja'u which means we eat dirt in guarani. I stayed here in pjc but Saturday morning I had to leave at like 4 in the morning to go pick up my companion and then come back. That took like 8 hours in total and I was completely dead the whole day haha. So basically all of our friends that were progressing are now not progressing, and so we had to drop like 15 people at the start of this week. That was kind of discouraging but we kept working and man did the Lord bless us. We contacted a guy in the street and he told us that he had never heard of the missionaries before but his cousin is a member and he had interes...
