Oiii!! What’s up everyone!! I hope you all have had a great week!! This week was really good!! Let’s get right into it!!
Well to start off this week we tried something that I’ve always wanted to try in this area! We wrote “De onde você é?” on a big board! We went around Aventura mall holding this big sign!! It was so fun. We actually found a few Brazilian families in the mall!! It was so fun to walk around and just talk to all types of people and their story!! It was so awesome to just meet all different walks of life and talk with them about our purpose as missionaries!! We definitely will be doing this finding activity again and we will switch it up and see what’s effective out here!!
Okay so this week I needed a haircut!! So naturally as a missionary you do what you got to do and get a haircut from a fellow missionary for free haha!! So okay I love this Elder and he will remain unnamed… but he cut my hair before and it looked fine haha!! But this time he did it a little differently… haha he used just straight buzzer on top and on the sides HAHAHA it was so funny because now I look like I’m 5 again haha. 🤣🤣
In my personal studies since I came out to the field, we were given a challenge by our Mission President! It was to read the Book of Mormon highlighting the doctrine of Christ (Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost and Enduring to the end) and highlighting any reference to Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost!! And I finished it this week!! I didn’t have some miraculous experience after reading the book, but what I did notice was that my testimony of the Book of Mormon grows more and more everyday!! My relationship with my Savior is much stronger now than before!! I feel like the more I read the Book of Mormon, the more I get to know who Christ is and His attributes!! He’s such a loving and merciful being and is ALWAYS on our side!! That’s the biggest thing that I’ve taken out of reading the Book of Mormon cover to cover!! Ahh I love it so much!! I know that the Book of Mormon is truly the word of God and that he speaks today through the mouth of his Prophets here in the ancient Americas!! The church is true!! Deus é real!!
I love you all and am thankful for all you do!! I hope you guys have a great week!!
Tchau tchau!!
