Hello everyone again!!! Just to start off, the title here is a quote from my cute companion as we were deep cleaning our house at 10 at night in our dresses. Hahaha but it paid off since I actually had my first house inspection in the mission this last week and believe it or not, we got a PERFECT score!!! So that was awesome! Also took my first hot shower in like 9 months the other night which was amazing!!! Now I'm worried my showers are gonna get extremely long again haha kkkkkkk
hahah anyways, this week was transfers so I'll update you all on the exciting news!!! So sadly, I will be leaving terra branca which was super unexpected, and I feel like the worst mother leaving my daughter behind halfway through training to lead the area hahaha but she'll be amazing I already know, we just had to have a good cry about having to leave each other when we found out. Buttttt luckily I'm just going next-door to Achada Santo Antonio and I'll be living in a 4 man and training again! Haha Super excited and it's gonna be awesome! My new child us from Cabo Verde so I'm gonna grind on my kriole with her which is gonna be so fun :)
Also believe it or not, we are actually white washing haha since there were elders there last transfer haha so still to this day, I've never been transfered to an area with someone already serving there hahahahah apparently President has confidence in my ability to make friends or something, jk but I actually love it so don't worry! Just a fun fact of my mission
This week was amazing once again and full of miracles left and right!! We set our cutest friends on date to be baptized so super excited for that! Even though its sad that I'm leaving, the good news is that even though all our friends are progressing so fast and our ward will have quite a few baptisms in the near future, the chapel in Achada has the font so I'll still get to go and support them all!!! So super grateful for that and proof that God is aware of us and I'm so happy I don't have to miss all of it.
A couple miracles from this week was the proof and influence we realised the Spirit has on us and our work. One cool example was our lesson plan for a new less active we were going to meet up with included a video about us during to stand up for our beliefs even if the world doesn't. It uses the talk from President Monson and story of his experience in the army. And then as we meet up with him, he shows up in his military atire and we learn he works in the army and has now for like 8 years. Just the little things that prove God is leading us here as we try our best.
Another miracle of this week was our lesson with our cute grandmother here. She is so sweet, but speaks kriole from São Vicente which is way different and I haven't heard a lot of it yet so sometimes we can't understand her very well. So we had invited a member to come with us but last minute she had to cancel so we decide to just go and try our best. And in our lesson plan we were going to try to figure out what she was hesitant about getting baptized. After about 5 minutes of successful small talk, she brings up this place she goes to which has pools and then continues to tell us how she doesn't really like pools. Then admits she has never entered the ocean. So first of all, God immediately answered our question through our small talk at the beginning and then the second miracle was that wanted to say the opening prayer which was also a giant step for her. Praying out loud in front of us had always been hard for her, but before we even asked her to, she just held up a finger and asked if she could try praying today and Sister Schoen and I were just speechless. And lastly the last miracle was that we understood all of it. Have a firm testimony that ALL is possible with God and He is here helping us in every step of the way. We just need to look for these blessings.
Anyways I love you all and God loves you too!! Don't forget it and hope you all have a fantastic week :)
