Be Kind Anyway

Woah another week already went by!! The most exciting part of this week was splits on Wednesday. I was with Sister Resquin in my Area, and she got to the mission the same day I did so neither of us know how to speak Portuguese very well yet. She is from Paraguay :)  It was a great experience!! Come to find out, you dont have to know how to speak a language very well to teach people about the Gospel of Jesus Christ because the Holy Ghost does the teaching. Sister Resquin and I just had to bring the Spirit to the hearts of those we taught. Even though I cant say all the words I want to, the spirit tells those I teach all the things I cant. Thats how it is every day on the mish! Its really amazing!!

Sunday, none of our investigators made it to church, so that was dissapointing. But Jessica, Aldicilene, and David (their son) are really excited to get baptised though!! Jessica and Aldicilene are getting married as soon as possible so they can get baptised as a family hopefully next Saturday. I am so escited for them!! 

Before I go I just want to share a little Poem from last conference that has helped me a lot when people reject me and the good word of the Gospel:

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best youve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God anyway.

I love you all so much!! Thanks for all the love and support! Have a great week!!
