Divisions in the Jungle and the Favela (Week 57)

Hey everyone!! :)

This was a much better and much busier week than the last. On Monday night we found a family of 11! It was such a miracle and it so happens that 3 of them went to church yesterday. They are very humble and receptive, please pray for them! :)

On Tuesday I did a division with Elder Cardoso (he was my companion in the mission office) in the area of Mairiporã. It was super cold but it was awesome to walk in the area, it's a lot greener than São Paulo! He's a great missionary and a big friend! :)

The day I went to Vila Sabrina and stayed with Elder Lucas! We went into the favela and spoke to a looooot of people! It was great! :) He has 3 months on the mission but is incredible already. There is something to learn from every missionary despite time on the mission or designation. Oh yeah, and we ate pizza topped with doritos. So gooood!

We also met a mother and a daughter, Luciene and Karen, who we taught the restoration and they went to church. They accepted our challenge to be baptised on Sunday. Please pray for them too! :)

On Sunday morning we had Ward Conference and it was a spiritual feast! The speakers were inspired and said a lot of things I was needing to hear. I am very excited for General Conference this week. To hear the words of our living prophet and apostles is a priviledge and an honour. For sure it will inspire me and lots of people to do more and be better!

Have a super week!

Just because this blog is lacking pictures, here's a drawing I did of the sisters here in the zone when we went to do their interviews! :) Always doodlin'!
