Oiiii a gente!! Como vocês estão?? Bastante tempo né?? Well wow this week was a roller-coaster but it has been INCREDIBLE!! Então, vamos começar!!
Well, the highlight of this week was we had 2 dinner appointments with 2 less active members!! It was literally incredible. We just reached out to these two families and they just offered to have us over for dinner!! The first one was with a Brazilian actually named Irmã Suazo!! And then the second one was the Matos family!! Irmã Suazo made us a ton of Brazilian food and we had churrasco!! We got to know her a ton and her story and shared a short message!! I pounded that food and was stuffed. Then, we had to bike to our next dinner appointment after dropping off the food she gave us at home HAHAHA!! We had dinner with the Matos family and they are so funny!! We shared the “Because of Him” video and the spirit was SO strong!! Sister Matos was in tears and wants us to come back again this week to share another message!!
Something super super cool that happened this week!! I SAW A FLIPPIN GATOR!! YESSSS SIRRRR!! I have been wanting to see one since I’ve been here. I’ll attach the pic down below!! (Don’t worry mom I wasn’t anywhere near it 😂🤫)
But this week, I have learned so much from the Lord. This transfer I have been stretched spiritually more than I feel like I have!! It’s been so awesome, but don’t get me wrong it’s also been hard!! But one thing that I have been learning is that truly, this is the Lord’s work. He really does work through the “weak and the simple”. There’s been many instances where I don’t feel adequate for this work. All I want is to be the best tool in the Lord’s hands!! There are times I’m sure we all feel inadequate at times in our lives!! But I can truly testify that all the Lord asks of us is our effort!! No matter what the challenge may be that we face we can overcome it and rise to the occasion because of Jesus Christ!
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
I love each and everyone of you!! Thank you all for everything you do for me!! Have a great week!! Tchau tchau meus amigos!!
Amo vocês!!
