Oii meus amigos!! Tudo bem? Beleza? Well, this week was a pretty good week!! I love Portuguese!! And the people here are just so awesome. Lots of miracles this week so I don’t wanna keep y’all waiting!! ;))
Well to start off, my highlight this week was one of our members has a friend who has a daughter that is going through some struggles and she wanted us to come over and sing to her! It was such a tender experience being there and just being able to sing and bring the spirit into their home. We all bore our testimonies after and I truly could feel the love that God had for this girl and all I wanted was her to know how much she was valued and loved by her Father in Heaven! It was a feeling I can’t really explain but all I know is that I was overwhelmed with God’s love for one of His daughters!! It was an emotional time for her and her family and it was amazing to minister and serve this beautiful family!!
So, this week we went to one of our recent converts cross country race to support her and be with her family!! So that was fun!! And she had to go race and so she gave us her phone which was the new iPhone 14 cause she wanted us to take videos of her running!! And let’s just say I completely forgot how to use an iPhone HAHAHA! Like we were trying to find the Taskbar and try to take the auto lock off or something and I felt so weird holding an iPhone haha I guess the mission veil got me good haha I can’t remember how to use technology anymore!! But it’s been a while since I held an iPhone so that also was pretty sweet 😂
This week in my studies, I’ve been reading through the New Testament!! And oh boy do I love the New Testament!! We also had zone day this week and one of our prompts for interviews was a favorite miracle we had involving Faith!! And I chose the story of the woman with an issue of blood!! This story has a special place in my heart! I love to imagine just how that woman felt when the Savior says “…be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.” (Luke 8:48) I love to imagine that very moment in my life every time I repent!! Christ is waiting with open arms ready to forgive us. He wants us to feel peace and his love!! And because of his perfect Atonement we all have the opportunity to feel that peace according to our faith!! That is something I’m trying to work on!! No matter how far we think we have strayed there is ALWAYS hope. He loves us perfectly! And I love being able to share His perfect love with the people here in South Florida!! I hope you all have a great week and a great Conference weekend!! I love you all!!
Boa semana!! Tchau tchau!!
