Other division spent in another area with Sister Acevedo who got herewith me! She wasnt part of my group in the Missionary Training Center because she already speaks Spanish and English but we got to Maceio the same day so it was so good to catch up with her. We bonded over our love for Thomas Rhett and mexican food, it was a good day. Divisions are exhausting but I am also so glad I get to know so many amazing people.
Also had zone conference! Always one of the best parts of the transfer. My trainer, Sister Cruz, goes home next week so it was a bittersweet day. The mission definitely wont be the same without her here and I am kind of panicking at how fast the time seems to be going.
As far as the are that is actually mine, things are going much better than last week! We were able to bring Mara to church yesterday, a 26 year old we have been teaching for a few weeks. She was so prepared to hear our message and absolutely loved church yesterday. She has a broken leg and has to walk with crutches but came anyways- talk about faith!! We are hoping to have her baptism the 23 of June.
This area has been quite the adventure as far as the ward and the members and you guys will hear all the stories in a few months but just wanted to say PLEASE take the time to get to know the missionaries in your ward and please help them in any small way that you can! It makes all the difference.
I always have about a million more things i want to write in these emails but so many things happen in a week that it would be impossible to write all of them. Wanted to just close by saying that I am so grateful for my mission and that if there is anyone thinking about a mission reading this email, I promise it is probably one of the best decisions you could make. Not just to serve the Lord but to grow yourself. There are so many people I met here and experiences I have had that have changed my perspective on so many things and strengthened my faith in Christ and His church here on Earth. There are so many people, especially here in Brasil, that go to so many churches that say so many things and they are all good but there is always something missing. It doesn't quite all fit together. I am so grateful for this gospel that answers all of my(many) questions and brings me so much joy. The Spirit testifies of that over and over and it is impossible for me to deny what I have felt so many times. I love my Savior and trust him enough to follow Him as best I can.
Love love love you all so much, wishing you all the best week!!
