This week was a hot and tiring one, the sun is finally starting to shine with full force, and I am getting burnnneed. Love it. As all can see the biggest change in my appearance on the mish is my hair, and it's just getting blonder and blonder with this Brazilian sol!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all, hope it was a blast, Here are some highlights from my week:
- We had a Thanksgiving with mashed potatoes, sausage, and apple pie "pastel" which was super good, thanksgiving in Brazil is always TOP.
- We had a cool experience with a girl we are teaching named Livia, she had a lot of questions about priesthood authority and we answered them, then she said, "I believe everything you guys say, because when I went to pray to ask if the book of Mormon is true, I felt a special feeling, a peace in my heart!" It was very special.
- That same day we visited some new people we are teaching, named, Telma, João, and Amanda. They are way cool, we taught them about the book of Mormon, and how to pray and how to receive answers. At the end, Joao said "Do you want to know how many times my wife has let in missionaries in her life?" "NEVER" "You guys are special". We looked at her and said, "thank you", and she looked at us with tears in her eyes and said, "no thank you."
- We have been preparing Isaura to be baptized this Saturday the 7th, she is so awesome, but nervous, if you could all keep her in your prayers that would be great.
- We have also been teaching Nayara, and preparing her to be baptized, she has a hard time remembering things, but we have really seen God's hand helping her to remember the things we teach her. She said that after she took the sacrament, and went to church she felt a huge burden lifted off her shoulders. She was already baptized years ago, but her records were lost, she doesn't really remember anything,and will be baptized again! Another new beginning!
- We had a rough day yesterday, and so I started telling sister Cardoso about the movie "Sound of Music" and the song "Favorite Things" to lift up our spirits, and I ended up telling her about the whole movie, and she is now dying to see it after the mission and know more about Maria haha!
- Today was sister Cardoso's birthday!!! I made a surprise for her and she cried <3 and we went to Balneario, went to the beach, went shopping, bought churros and sushi. It was TOP. I love her so much, she is an amazing daughter, and companion! This week we will get the transfer call....let's see what happens.
I know Christ lives and loves us, I feel his love and care every day.
Love,
Sister Crofts
