Rats, Pancakes, And Baptism!!

Image
I wrote an entire email with a fire spiritual thought, and somehow it got deleted when I was adding some photos. I'm so sad. But... take two. This one won't be as good sorry.  Solid week this week! Weshilley and Weslley were baptized and it was such a special experience! I'm so glad that I could be apart of such a life-changing event! I'm so greatful for their decision to put their trust in God and take this big step in their lives! Also my p-day got moved to today, but just for this week.  SPIRITUAL THOUGHT I had a fire spiritual thought, but I guess I'll save it for another week.  I know that Jesus knows you and he loves you! He loves you so much that he suffered all of your hardships and gave his life up for you, paving a pathway back to his father. I know that Jesus lives. I know that families are eternal. Being a missionary has changed my life, but I'm so glad for the opportunity that I have each and every day to be a small piece in changing others' ete...

Swat Trucks E Floods || Week 23

Bom dia! I'm back with another email and couldn't be more happy to talk with you all! Not gonna lie, this week was kind of just "a week". Nothing too special happened, but still got some crazy stories and cool spiritual experiences so stay tuned! Also if anyone was wondering (which probably no one is) my health continues to be fantastic in every which way. Only problems right now: I'm gaining weight so fast and I don't like it. My face is bright red 100% of the time no matter how much sunscreen I apply. This work is stressful, so I get a migraine headache about once a week.  SPIRITUAL THOUGHT Had interviews with Pres this week and he never fails to give me that "punch in the face motivation" to continue working my tail off. I unloaded all of the problems that we were having with people keeping commitments and losing their desires to be baptized. Lowkey felt bad but hey, that's what he's here for lol. He gave me one piece of advise that I won...

Week Of Ups And Many Downs || Week 21

Bom dia para vocês! I hope you all had a fantastic week and kept all of your new years resolutions thus far! Not gonna lie, this week was insanely hard. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. But we're still here so that's all that matters :) It's kinda crazy how that works on the mission, and really just in life. One week can be the hands-down absolute best week on the mission, and the next week can arguably be the worst. But hey, complaining never helps, so let's just get into the week.  SPIRITUAL THOUGHT We had our zone conference yesterday (where all of the missionaries in the close proximity get together and talk about what we can do to improve) and it was pretty cool. Some missionaries shared a pretty cool spiritual thought that I wanted to share with all of you! Starts off with the story of a missionary. This missionary is feeling a super strong prompting from God to knock on a very specific door. As a good missionary does, this missionary followed this prompting...

The New Year Could Not Have Started Off Better

Good morning everyone! I'm hoping you all had a fantastic week and a wonderful New Years! New year, new you. I remember last year during this time, the gym was absolutely packed... for about one a half weeks. Make some goals are actually stick to them this year! This week was such a great week! I've felt so happy, so intuned with the spirit, saw some miracles, and probably had the best exchange that I will have on my mission!  But I'll talk about that later, let's get back to our New Years goals and the weekly spiritual thought that I hope that you guys actually read.  SPIRITUAL THOUGHT This week in my reading, I found two pretty cool scriptures that can help us with our goal setting this year.  Alma 37: 6-7 reads... 6. Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise. 7. And the Lord God doth work by means to bring abou...
