So this week was full of awesome things. First, I had to go to Goiania twice this week because sister Love had meetings. On Tuesday, I got to spend my whole morning with Sister Christensen while our comps were in their meeting!! I didnt realize how much I missed her until I saw her!! (For those of you who dont remember, sister Christensen was my comp in the MTC). I havent talked to her at all since the MTC because its against the rules to email people in my same mission. But here's a quick update of what has happened in her life since we got to Goiania:
-99% chance she has Dengue
-Her comp has been in the hospital for a couple days
-She got robbed last week
-Everyone in her house is dying but also they are chilling super hard doing the Lords Work anyway.
-She is pretty much fluent in portuguese
I miss her a ton!!!
We visited Jerson, our recent convert this week and he told us a super cute story. He was dropping his 2 kiddos off at their grandparents house and the 6 year old, Luis Gabriel started telling his grandparents all about how his older brother and dad got baptised. Then he said that when he turns 8 he wants to get baptised too!! it was so sweet.
Maria, one of our investigators, made it to church yesterday! She got lost so she was late, but she made it eventually which was a huge relief! She is our only progressing investigator right now, and she is kind of crazy but I love her.
Also, Jessica and her family told us they dont want to get baptized anymore, which literally broke my heart. They were all so excited to be baptised and they love the book of mormon and they were keeping all their commitments. Ugh, it was so sad because I love them all so much.
Last thing, Sister Resquin and Sister Vargas (who live in the same house as me) got robbed 2 days ago! It was really funny because the theives took sister Vargas´s planner out of her hands because thats all she had, but then they gave it back. In the end all they took was the cheap little phone we have so all is well.
Anyway, sorry this email was so random! But all is well here in Brazil!! I am loving the mission, even though its hard. My Savior helps me with literally everything and because of him I can do hard things!! I hope you all have a great week!! Love you guys :)
