Week 60: Feliz Junina!!!!

Boa tarde galera!!

I celebrated a new holiday this week- Junina! I would tell you more about it, but I am not entirely sure what it is or why it is celebrated. And I live with three Brazilians and they haven't been able to give me a straight answer either. But no complaints here, I am always down for a party!

This week was one of those weeks where prayers were answered. After two and a half transfers of working the media completely by ourselves, President Saucedo asked two more companionships to help us with the pages and one companionship to help with creating the content. And to top it all off, we got three new laptops this week, so now we don't have to keep stealing the AP's computer to try and get our work done. On Friday we left the mission office at 6pm, and I can't remember the last time we left before 7 or 7:30, so serious blessings for sure. Sister Campos is also catching on really quick with the media stuff which is awesome. It is going to be another solid transfer! I really think the media work is going to be even better this transfer now that we have the extra help!

This week we were able to teach lots of people about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This is always my favorite lesson to teach people because the message is so special. We always invite our friends to pray about the message we share to receive an answer for themselves. This week two people we taught this week told us that they received answers to their prayers that our message is true! I know that God really does hear and answer our prayers!

I hope you all have a fantastic week! Love and miss you!

Weeks 16 & 17: Temples and Car Washes!!

Image
Hello everyone!!!! I have to apologize for not writing last week! I had the amazing opportunity to go to Medford and go to the temple! I am so thankful for temples and how they help us feel God's love for us! It was also awesome that I got to see my parents again for a little bit! Also Medford has an In n Out so it was overall a great day! In terms of people we are teaching we have been meeting with Deb for the past couple of weeks. In the past she has been meeting with Elders so we're the first Sisters she has met with. Deb told us she really liked meeting with Sisters because she felt she could open up and talk to us a lot more which was so good to hear! Originally she told the elders she no longer wanted to talk to missionaries because of all the switching that's been going on so I'm thankful Deb gave us a chance. Sister Massey and I also had the chance to travel to a baptism! Since I've been in Klamath I've heard about Bob and Joyce and it has been a process...

Week 34: too many miracles

Image
Olááá!!!! As the subject suggests, this week has been so so full of miracles. But the biggest miracle of all has to be our friend Zoe has decided she is going to be baptized on February 27!! We've only taught her for about a week now, but she is so prepared. We taught her the Restoration on Tuesday and I was able to tell her about Joseph Smith's first vision. Right after I finished, she looked at me with a smile so big I could see it through her mask and she said, "wow, that is amazing." Our next lesson with her was on Saturday and she told us she had prayed to know if Joseph Smith was a prophet and if the Book of Mormon was true and she had this overwhelming sense of peace. She read the Book of Mormon every single day since we'd last met, and she absolutely loves it. We invited her to be baptized, and she said yes!! She is beyond excited, and we are too!!  Another miracle from the week, we were on exchanges and Sister Laymon told me she knew this guy at a Gyro pl...

Week 28: Staying in Springfield!

Image
Hello everyone!  It was another crazy busy week here in Springfield! We had Zone Conference and our Mission President talked to us about the importance of having hope. We talked about how hope is an abiding trust in the Lord and that He will fulfill His promises! In times like these, we can always trust that if we are obedient and follow God's commandments, we can expect blessings! This message was extremely helpful to our friend Eve. She's had a pretty rough life, but when we talk to her about hope in Jesus Christ and how He can help her in any circumstance, there is a noticeable change in her. Hope is powerful! Also, I am not getting transferred! All three of us were really worried we were going to be split up because of all the craziness with other missionaries going home before Christmas. Thankfully, we all get to stay together for at least two more weeks and spend Christmas together!! I would love to receive any Christmas cards, and thanks to all those who have already sen...
