Bom Dia everyone!! I hope you all
had a great week, and a great General Conference!!
Conference here was great!! And it
was actually not that different from what I'm used to at home. The 4 American
sisters in my district got to watch conference in English in another room, and
we had lots of food to eat while we watched, so it was basically the same
thing! Haha! It really was an incredible conference though, and I hope that you
all had a chance to watch/listen to it. And if not, that you take the time now
to go back and watch/listen to it. I really loved the overall message of love
for your neighbor. We need to be more concerned with those around us, than we
are with ourselves. I don't know if it was just a message I needed to hear, but
it sure seemed to come up a lot!
Other than Conference, it's been a
pretty normal week! We've had lots of fun celebrating my companion's birthday
the past couple days! And all the sisters in the district are throwing her a
"surprise party" after emailing today, so that'll be awesome. :)
Speaking of birthdays, my dear
sister Emily turns a whopping 17 years old this week!!!! WAHOO!!! Make sure to
give her a hug and a happy birthday wish on the 7th!! (LOVE YOU EM!!!)
The miracle of the week happened
during a family night with one of our investigators, Emelly. Emelly is 17 years
old (wow, that just hit me how similar she is to my sister!!...) and she really
wants to be baptized. She's been meeting with the missionaries and coming to
chuch for months, but her mom won't give her permission to be baptized. Well,
this week we had a family night at Emelly's house, and we were able to really
befriend her mom. Before she was always very closed off to the missionaries,
and didn't want to talk to us, but as we left the family night, she told us
that their door is always open to us!! Seriously, such a miracle!!!!
My scripture I want to share this
week is Enos 1:9 "Now it came to pass that when I heard these
words I began to feel a desire for the welfare of my brethren, the Nephites,
wherefore, I did pour out my whole soul unto God for them." If we
want to help other people, we can pray for them!!
I love you all!! Thank you for all
the love and support!! And I promise I really am doing super good! I know it
probably sounds like I'm dying or something from everything that's happened
this transfer, but I'm doing great! I promise!!
Love,
Sister
