Hey y'all! What's up, so this week was transfers! And also a week of miracles!  Let us start.  To begin with we finally were able to mark a date with this lady named Fransisca, which was a miracle because she's super strong in her church. When we first met her, which was like 4 months ago, she thought we were a cult. Over the weeks teaching her, she was able to slowly understand more about the Book of Mormon, and the prophet Joseph Smith. It was a very slow process, but through a lot of prayers and conference talks and debates, she now says with confidence that Joseph Smith was a prophet, and that this is the true church of Jesus Christ here on earth! She will be baptized this Friday, and the coolest part is, it's just two days after she's going to Italy with her kids, and she's gonna go to the temple in Rome! She's already giving car rides to our other investigators who can't make it to church walking.  We made lunch for ourselves once this week, I made...

Olá todos!!    Hey, it's been a little while since I've written an email updating you guys on what's going on down here in Brasil!  Recently it's been hot, really hot. And rainy, really rainy. But, it's been really, really good on the mission! A few weeks ago we got to leave our mission and head out to the capital of the state here (Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais)  to watch a devotional by Elder Soares where he was on a zoom call with my mission and the mission next to us! It was so cool, especially because he served his mission where I'm serving now, so he loved telling stories about his mission! Fun coincidence, a family Elder Soares was talking about is in our current ward and we do a lot with them.  How cool to see the fruits of Elder Soares' efforts just a few years later!  We could all tell he was being brought back to his mission!!  Here in our area we've been grinding a ton to try and find more people to help! We've had a ton of miracles happen...
