This week was super awesome, I can't believe that I am already on my last week on the mission!
Here are some highlights:
- ALANA WAS BAPTIZED! Amanda wasn't baptized this week, but we are going to work with her to get baptized this week before we finish our missions! But Alana ́s baptism was so so special. Lots of people came to support her, and she was so so excited, and said "If we want our mom to change, we have to change!" I love to see how the gospel has really changed their lives. She was so so excited to be baptized and to receive the gift of the Holy ghost. Amanda wore the dress I gave her to the baptism! (She hates dresses) and We could tell she was excited for her day to come.
- We went knocking doors yesterday in the Bairro that we had been avoiding the whole transfer (it's super far) but it was soo worth it because we found sooo many people ready to hear the gospel! I love knocking doors haha. We also were given beet cake which was a first!
- One thing I love about the Oeste of Santa Catarina, is that these people are sooo loving and giving! They always open the gate for us and say, "I'll open it so that you guys can come back!"
This will be the last email that I will send on the mission! I can not believe that my mission will be over in one week! It passes by way too fast. I am feeling a lot of mixed feelings, but all in all I am so so grateful for the opportunity that I had to serve my Heavenly Father as a missionary. I have learned and grown so much in this year and a half! This for sure was the hardest and best thing that I have ever done. I am so grateful for the opportunity that I had to meet so many amazing people, people that have changed my life forever. I have really gained a testimony that when we lose ourselves in the service of our fellow beings we are serving our God and find ourselves. I am grateful to have been able to grow my testimony, and love for my Savior, every day of my mission. I just wanted to leave y´all with my testimony that I know that Jesus Christ lives, he loves us, and he died for us. We are spirit children of our Heavenly Father., this is his church that was restored through the prophet Joseph Smith, who translated the Book of Mormon through the power of God. I know that we have a prophet that lives today, and that he is our guide to return to the presence of our Heavenly Father, and our Savior. I love you all, I love this gospel!
See y´all soon!!
Love,
Sister Crofts
