Normal Week

What's up everyone! I hope you're all doing well. So not going to lie, this week was really average. Not a whole lot happened. Just working, and working, and more working.


The Oliveira family accepted to get baptized on the 12th. Super hyped. We've been teaching them for a minute and they're super good, but the dad has always been difficult because he hasn't really gained a testimony. Yesterday they came to church, and we went over last night and I asked, "How was church today?" And he responded, "Super good. I understand more about baptism and I want to do it now." I cannot tell you how happy hearing this made me. It was like music to my ears.


Another cool experience:
This Saturday we had lots of super good plans. To find, have lessons with members, and lots of things, but it ALL fell through. Not a single lesson happened. So we visited a few other people, and then it was 7 pm with literally nothing else to do. So we went to a street we've never been on and just started knocking, which is something I've like never done because I've never had success like that. We got literally nothing, and we were about to give up, but we tried one more house. A couple came out and invited us to teach them. Apparently, they know a few members, and they have a TON of interest. It just showed me that if we keep pushing and keep going, then the miracles happen.


I love our Savior Jesus Christ. I love his gospel. I love the scriptures. The mission has fortified my testimony so much, and I just feel so happy all the time. Words can't explain it.


I took no pics this week. I'm very sorry. I'll take more this week. See you!

Hello everyone! How's it going? I hope you all had a great week this week. I had a really great week. Nothing too crazy or out of the norm, just working like crazy as usual. 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...
