Olá todos! Tudo bem??
We had a great week this week! It's pretty incredible to see our Heavenly Father's hand in His work. I'm always super grateful to be a part of it.
A few days ago, all of our appointments fell through. No one was picking up the phone, others canceled on us, unfortunately, it happens. So we decided to visit someone the missionaries had been teaching before. Well, on our way to her home, she actually called us. She was in tears and really, really needed someone to talk to.
So we showed up, and she opened up and told us about her difficulties and how she is struggling pretty hard. So, we talked to her about it, then we taught her the Plan of Salvation. We read 2 Nephi 2, and after we finished reading, she looked like a different person. She totally understood it and asked if she could have that feeling forever. We told her she could. Then we asked if we would prepare for baptism, she said she would! Her date is April 6th. Please pray for Valderês, she could use your prayers.
I'm super grateful for the opportunity I have to be in Brazil! I've seen so many miracles, it's hard to keep track of all of them. At times, it's pretty hard adjusting to a new language, culture and climate, but I can tell that the Lord has certainly been there with me. The gift of tongues is real, especially when I need it the most Haha. I love the work and I love being a missionary! We certainly are always surrounded by miracles, we just have to have the eyes to see them.
I love you all! I always love hearing from you!

Pics: For our P day we got permission to visit a fort, built by some Spanish pirates, in the 1500s! We also stopped by a church built in 1572, the second oldest church in Brazil. Pretty cool!
