Best Mission...Ever!

We already knew that but in case you guys, or I, needed more convincing, we went to the beach this morning and I think I almost cried I was so happy. It is the prettiest beach i have ever seen in my life. Just look at the pictures.

Subsequentyly, I have almost no time left to write so this is gonna be a short one(for real this time).

Still teaching Sarah and Lis, and they are reading the Book of Mormon. I remember when I was their age and started to really gain a testimony and have those spiritual experiences for myself and I feel so happy to be a part of that process for them.

MIRACLE: Edna´s husband, Roosevelt, went to church yesterday foir the first time!!! We visit them all the time and he is very skeptical of the church, always asking us questions and researching about it. And for the missionaries that have served in the last 5 years, you know that when people go to the internet, they end up finding a bunch of stuff against the church, and cut contact with us. I think we lost more than 15 people with a lot of potential in Aracaju because of the stuff they found on the internet. And they dont even give us a chance to explain, just end up believing everyuthing they read, most of which is wrong. Not to mention there is a lady, not sure if she is Brazilian, that has a youtube channel specifically attacking the church and releases videos every month. What a blessing right? Anyways, we were worried about what Roosevelt was reading and always do iour best to explain what we actually believe and bear testimony. And yesterday he finally went to church after a million invites!! It was our stake conference and the Spirit was so strong and when it was over he said he loved it. Miracles.

Grateful for Edna because her family and Jane are the only people we acn find to visit. Lots of people are leaving our area and we see about 5-10 moves every day so it makes the work a little difficult. But we live in the prettiest place in the world and I am so grateful to be here. I know that this gospel is true and that it bring more joy in this life than anything else.
Love you all so much,

Sister Lauren Mather
