TRANSFERS AND MILAGROS

SUP YALL 

So we had transfers this week!! My girl Hermana Moala left me and I got Hermana Matapula!!! It's soooo lit I love my polys! 

This week we had Juli's baptism!!!! So it was supposed to start at 3 she got there at 3:30 and the guy baptizing her got there at 4:10.... the lady who gave us the Keys to the institute said we couldn't leave till everyone was gone so we could clean up and lock up. So after her baptism they had a party with food, so needless to say we ended up there till 7! Hahaha 

Javier had his baptismal interview on Friday and MILAGRO.... he passed! So he's getting baptized on his BIRTHDAY January 13th!! Our other friend Chris decided to be baptized also!! He's getting baptized January 8th with his brother who goes to a family ward!!!!!!!

It's been a while

Hey yall what's uppppp 

In all honesty, since I haven't written an email in a couple weeks... (sorry mom) I don't remember much. I would say I'll go back and look at my pictures, but I also haven't taken very many. But here the most important stuff. 

We have been getting some pretty awesome referrals these past few weeks of people who are so open to learning and are progressing fast! We met this girl named Sharon who was a referral from our zone leaders!! We had a pass off lesson with them and we taught her the plan of salvation and she loved it. She asked lots of questions and we were able to talk about baptism and we ended up inviting her to pray about baptism! She said she would YAY !!! I'll keep yall updated on how that goes haha. 

Another one.... we got a phone call from a random number and so casually we answered. It was this lady telling us that her nephew Chris just moved here from the Dominican Republic like 15 days before and that he was interested in going to church! We asked if we could come over before Sunday to meet him and they said yes! So we went over on Friday shared a quick message and invited him to a cena that our ward mission leader was hosting!! 

Soooo ya on Saturday we had this ward cena and we invited so many people. We got a lot of people who said yes... we brought our friend Javier and when we get there it was only him and Chris who came. Sad but it was so fun!!! So they got to meet more people in the ward and it was great! 

Now sunday... we pull up to church and 7 of our friends came!! It was lit. This guy named Blake who goes to an English ward came to our ward and brought 3 of his friends from Chile!! Sooo let's goooo

Right after sacrament after we got them all to second hour we had to book it to alpine to film a music video for the Portuguese Facebook page! It was funnn... I got to play the piano for it and Hermana Moala played the cello! 

But ya it was a great couple weeks! 

Just wanted to let yall know that I LOVE Christmas time!! It's such an amazing time of year that we get to celebrate Jesus Christ! Here's a quick scripture that I loveee 

Mosiah 16:9 

"He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death." 

 LOVE YOU GUYS! Have a great week! ❤️
