I hope you're all doing well!! We had a very busy, very good week this past week! It started off on Monday with Alessandras baptism! She was super excited to finally be baptized and it was such a good experience. She lives in Riacho das Almas, a city pretty far away from where we're at, and she was still able to bring all of her family to participate. Her grandma, aunt and uncle are members, but the rest of them aren't. Everyone in the meeting felt the spirit very powerfully and we started to teach her parents and little sister! I really hope that they'll continue to feel the spirit as we continue to share the gospel with them.
Then on Tuesday we had transfers! It was a bummer saying goodbye to Elder Sodrè. He's one of my best friends, so it was hard to see him go. But I received another incredible Elder to make up for it! Elder Dionizo is a stud. He's very obedient, loves to work hard, and is super happy all the time. So, we've been getting along great! We were to have some pretty phenomenal lessons and find some new people to teach, I can tell that it's going to be a great transfer.
We're both really excited about Jaqueline. We had postponed her baptismal date to give her some more time to prepare, but she is doing great! She came to church on Sunday and had a great experience and her testimony has grown immensely. I started working with her since I got to this area more than 3 months ago. She has made a lot of progress from then until now and is super excited for her baptism coming up on sunday. The Gospel has really changed her heart and I've loved having the chance to see her draw closer to Jesus Christ.
I love you all! I hope you have a great week!
