Olá!!!! So this week was so busy/fun!!! It started with the best surprises ever. Two of my favorite people ever are going on missions!! In Ala Pedras (my second area), Ruth (member) wanted to us to visit her friend Luciana with us. Luciana was baptized in March, and now they´re both going on missions! Ruth already has her call to Cuiaba (Sister Bispo´s city), and Luciana is waiting until she finishes one year & she´s going too! We got to chat and eat pizza and it was the happiest night ever.
The next day we had a leadership meeting and it´s always fun to see everyone and hear Presidente Leite talk. He shared with us that he gave his all on his mission and felt amazing about the work he did, but when he came home he didn´t see the blessings. His life basically fell apart with difficulty finding a job, his parents separated, his mom was ill, and he faced a lot of challenges!! He said that the only thing that got him through all of these trials was his conversion that became so much stronger during his mission. He challenged us all to become more converted, and to make the sacrifices we need to become the people that God wants us to be. I love how Dale G. Renlund said, “God cares a lot more about who we areand who we are becoming than about who we once were. He cares that we keep on trying.” That was basically the gist of President Leite´s talk, to keep on trying to be more converted and better followers of Christ.
Happy news!! Fernanda was baptized! She had the coolest response to her prayer asking if the church was true. She told us that she dreamed with a white building that looked like a castle, and her friends (that are already members) went with her and they entered. She said she felt so happy and so in peace when she woke up. We showed her a picture of the temple and she started crying and said that that is what she saw! She is amazing.
