"You Have Done Everything That You Needed To Do Here"

Hey all, today I got a call from my mission president ́s wife and she told me I am going home this week. I ́m not surprised though, I knew I would have to. On Friday I kept having the same thought come into my mind. it said, ``you have done everything that you needed to do here.` The next day we were put into quarantine. And now I will be released as a missionary this week. I ́m really sad, but I also feel so much peace because I know that the Lord is in control.

I am so grateful to have a living prophet. It amazes me to see how he has been an instrument in the hands of God. I am grateful for my mission, and I am so grateful for all the love and support that I have received from my friends and family during my time in Brazil! I love you guys. See you soon!!

Hey guys itll be a short one again, sorry about that.  This week was a good one for Sister Neves and I! We are getting Luis Fernando ready for his baptism on Saturday! I'm super stoked for him!!  So Sister Neves was studying about the second coming this week and she found this scripture in 

D&C 45:31

31 And there shall be men standing in that ^ageneration, that shall not pass until they shall see an overflowing ^bscourge; for a desolating ^csickness shall cover the land.  

She is convinced that it is talking about the corona virus :P

But I just want to say that because of the gospel of Christ we don't need to worry. We can be certain that it will all be okay in the end because God knows what He is doing and He loves us with an infinite love. I am grateful to know that my Savior died for me, that I can repent, and that I will be with my family forever. 

Stay safe out there!! Don't forget to wash your hands

I Know That God Lives

Hey guys! 

I made it to Tibery on Tuesday and fun fact I get to live with my daughter and my grandaughter! Sister Meyer is companions with Sister Negreiros´s daughter. (Sister Meyer and sister Negreiros are my daughters). I also found out that im a great grandma!! I officially have 2 daughters, 2 granddaughters, and a great granddaughter. They grow up so fast! and Im so old! haha! But anyway, I don't have much time so its a short one today. 

I know that God lives! There is nothing more exciting than being led by the spirit to be an instrument in His hands. I invite everyone to pray for opportunities to share Gods love with others, and then courageously follow the promptings of the spirit, you will find great joy, i promise.
