Transfers and Lice

Today is transfers!! I`m going back to Campo Grande and my new companions are gonna be Sister Jordan and another Part Time missionary!! Im super excited! I love Campo Grande (Cuiabá is a little on the hot side... haha) But ill definitely be sad to leave all of the people that i love here in Cuiabá.

Also, our 10 year old recent convert has lice and we didnt know about it until the primary president told us that she saw something suspicious in her hair.. so we asked her and she said it was true and so the next day i had sister monteiro look in my hair to see if she passed it to me and......................... positive. so this week was a battle against me and the bugs in my hair but im happy to say i came out victorious and am now lice free :)

also i found a scripture that i like a lot... 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
(this part is talking about the spirits that are of satan and influence people to not believe in Christ)

As children of God, we have divine atributes and heavenly help. Because of this and because we already chose the plan of Heavenly Father in the pre-existance, we have already overcome the spirits that followed satan. We need not fear because the spirit that is within us, it greater than the spirits that are in the world.

never forget your divine nature!!!!

thanks for all the love and all the support!!!

love you all!!!

tchau!

The Work Goes On

First off, sorry the email last week was short... my mind literally went blank while i was written.

But anyway, I forgot to tell you all about Joabe!! so it was about a week before his baptism and we were teaching him and after the lesson, Irmão Jeronimo (his girlfriends dad) said ``yeah its too bad we wont have a baptism next week.`` and my eyes almost popped out of my head and I basically screamed ``WHAT?!`` and Joabe told us that he is wanted to wait a little longer but he wouldnt tell us why. So the next week (week of his baptism) we visited him again to see what was going and it turns out that theres a commandment that he isnt quite ready to live and after we explained about the atonement and read some verses with him he told us that he thinks its better if we give him some space for awhile for him to think about what he really wants. So thats where we´re at with Joabe.

and now Rodrigo.... we taught him the Restauration again (he has lots of questions about priesthood and Joseph Smith) and after the lesson we explained a little more in depth about the Holy Ghost and how we recieve answers to our prayers and we told him he`ll feel peace and whatnot and then he goes ``one time i had a dream and i felt super peaceful during it..... i was standing the middle of a lot of water`` and my companion screamed. hahaha it was super funny. But it truly is amazing how much the Lord has been preparing Rodrigo to recieve the Gospel. We´re working with him to be baptized on october 31. :0

Thanks for all your love and support!!

love you all!
