Hey Everybody!
This week was a pretty rushed week but it went
really well! We had some great lessons with some of our friends who are
currently learning more about our faith. One of those lessons was with
a woman and her son who invited the family next door to join in on our
lesson. We taught about the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ
and they loved it!! The Spirit was super strong and they were very
gracious to receive a copy of the Book of Mormon. We also went and
visited a lady whose son is baptized and the only reason why she isn´t
is because she is addicted to smoking. The past missionaries stopped
visiting her because they said that she is really hard to find at home
but we were able to find her home twice this week! We put her on a plan
to stop smoking a pack and a half per day and by the 3rd day she was
already down to 6 cigarretts (where she is still at today)!! She says
that this time she is going to be able
to overcome the addiction and be baptized, so cool! Also today I got my
wisdom tooth pulled! Unlike in the states the keep you awake during the
pulling, they just numb you a little bit. The dentist pulled it out and
showed me and it was a pretty big tooth! It´s not hurting too bad so
that´s good news but it looks like I´m just gonna have to drink
milkshakes for a day or two!! I hope you all have a great week and to
hear from you all soon!! Give the little ones loves for me!!!

Hey everyone!!
This week went really well
and hot out here in Floripa! We were able
to visit a lot of people and even make some new friends thru doing street
contacting and tracting. We met one
couple where the guy was super happy to let us into their home. We sat down and presented ourselves and told them about our work and then asked
them about their religious background.
The guy, Carlos, told us how when he was 15 years old he attended the “Mormon
church” and wanted to get baptized but his parents didn’t let him…we looked at
them and informed him that the “Mormon church” would be the nickname of the
church that we represent. He got super
excited and told us how he wants to start going back to church again and wants
to be baptized! It was a pretty funny moment that got us excited haha the couple
has to get legally married first before being baptized so we are going to help
them do that! I hope you all have a
great week and great Mother’s Day!!!!Give the little ones some loves for me!!!!
Love,
