I found out yesterday. I'm emailing on a Tuesday afternoon because yesterday we had a Pday with all the Sisters. It was fantastic. Good food, good lessons, awesome message from Sister Moreira, fantastic ideas from President Moreira, and wonderful company of some of the best people I know. I would send pictures, but I don't have my camera's cable...I forgot to bring it with me. Our day today started with interviews with President. It was fantastic. I truly have the best mission president there is. I have learned so much with him in the 11 months I've been on the mission. Today, I had some questions, and we got talking abuot some other doctrines and principles....it was a great conversation. He helped me with some things that are going on here in the area, and then I got a blessing from him afterwards. I'd call it a good start to the day!
This last week was insanely busy, with one of the craziest weekends I've ever seen. We ran after a bunch of people, and in the end, Manoel's family went to church...Marleuda, and Joaquim, and the kids. Mateus was baptized, and they stayed to watch that (Mateus is Manoel's brother). So the next step is baptizing Marleuda and Joaquim...after they work on a few things. But I've already seen miracles happening in this family! They loved church and said they will go back next week and basically every week.
Other than that, there were a million other miracles! This is always the case. I am so grateful to be here in Suzano...this area is really blessed, and I feel like I am starting to learn how to do this work. That's a good thing! The members are so helpful, and we are always teaching with recent converts and other irmãs. I still miss Vista Verde (I got a letter this week from Neia and Silvinha and the family!), but I will be eternally grateful for the opportunity to serve here in Suzano. This transfer is wrapping up quickly, and I am nearly certain that there will be some changes here. But it's all good. Hah, President told me today that my next area will be one of the most difficult....hahaha we'l see.
This week, we've got to work doubletime. It'll be insane. It'll be tiring. BUT...it'll all be worth every minute of it, as it always is. I'm kinda drawing a blank on what else to say...haha, I'm so used to having email time on Mondays, that this Tuesday thing is throwing me off. From what I hear, it sounds like EVerYONE at home is getting married. That's awesome! Keep it up, and we'll all be eternal friends in the Celestial Kingdom! :)
I love you all. I got some letters this week, from the Davises, and Pops, and the Church News about the Rome Temple (My zone leader read it before I did!). Thanks for still writing! :) I get more letters from sisters in the mission than from people at home. Haha. But it's okay. I have zero time....and that's the way it should be...my focus here is inviting people to be baptized, not in getting and answering letters. But of course I still love to get letters, and I always make time to answer them , even if it's not an epistle. :)
Much love, have a fantastic week, and remember to always trust 100% in the Lord.
Love,
Karen
