Sou Muito Grata Pelo Nosso Profeta!!

This week was quite possibly the best week of my life. I have so many things to say but I don´t have the words or time to say them all!! I´ll tell you all the most important stuff :)
A tender moment: We met the daughter of one of our investigators this week. Her name is Gleci, and she lives with her husband and their little boy. We taught her about the Book of Mormon, and told her that she can pray to know if it is true for herself. She told us about how her husband doesnt believe in God and doesn´t like it when she talks about Him or prays. She has tried to tell him that God is real because there is no possible way that life could have been an accident and there is no way humans used to be monkeys. He never listens to her, so as a result, she hasn´t prayed to God for a long long time, and didn´t know how. So we helped her say a prayer. She didn´t say much and I could tell she was uncertain and a little uncomfortable, but she just started to cry! I can´t imagine how she felt to speak to her Loving Heavenly Father for the first time in a long time, but I know that He heard her simple prayer. And I know the spirit helped her feel that God is aware of her. It was a sweet experience.
This week was full of dissapointments, but also full of miracles! Our dear Maria said she doesnt want us to visit her anymore and she doesnt want to get baptized anymore. Broke my heart! It especially hurt because she has told us over and over again how much she loves the Book of Mormon and she bore her testimony to us many times that she knows it is true. She knows this church is true, yet still denied it. But we for sure planted a huge seed so I have hope that she will come back some day soon. 
The biggest miracle of the week was when we went back to an investigator we tought a month ago, just to see how he was doing. He wants to be baptized!! We are planning to have his baptism this week :))
Also today is transfers and nothing is changing, God hears and answers prayers!! Ill be with sister Love in Trindade until the end of her mission (14 de Maio) And I am officially out of training so WOOT WOOT here goes week 13!! 
Oh, and conference was the best thing on the planet. I loved  all the talks!! Sister love and I watched it in a little office at the stake center in English while everyone else watched in the chapel in portuguese haha. President Nelson gave a fire talk so if any of you missed it, you best be giving it a quick listen. Eu sei que ele é realmente O Profeta de Deus aqui na terra em estes últimos dias. Sou muito grata pelo nosso profeta!!
Thats all i have time for today! Always remember: Se guardares os mandamentos de Deus, prosperarás na terra. (Inasmuch as ye keep the commandments of God, ye shall prosper in the land).
I love you all so much!! Have a great week, and dont forget to study the words of living prophets and apostles!!
