( gonna be longer one... your welcome . If you read it you will all gain blessings )
Tachu Nova Era 

I was surprising super sad saying goodbye to the wonderful people I met in Nova Era.. Super happy to be out of the area but I cried saying goodbye to a few of the members. I just constantly fall more in love with brasil the longer I am here. 
Sister Sandin 
My new comp is Sister Sandin, she is from Riviera Uruguay it is literally on the boarder of Uruguay and brasil. She said she would walk across the street and would be in brasil. So she has grown up speaking little bit of Portuguese. She is an INCREDIBLE missionary... like literally I feel like I am in training all over again.
she only has 3 months on the mission and she's probably the most focused/driven, missionary I have met. She is more to her self, and quite. So my loud, crazy personality definitely scares her at times lol kinda funny. But she likes me.... I think... trust 
She's super sweet though! Her love for the mission and her example is really inspiring and I have learned so much from her already! Excited to see the miracles and blessings this transfer will bring.

MIRACLES 

Leandro- his whole story on how we found him was actually so crazy. Hand of god is real. We had a feeling to knock doors on this street and we found this sweet old lady, she didn't seem very interested but she was nice and let us talk to her, and she said we could come back for another lesson. So we come back and we start talking and she says she's super strong in her church but that she read the chapter of the book of Mormon we left for her and really liked it. Then she brings up that her son has visited our church in the past and loved it.. then says he's been really struggling. So I asked if we could get his number and visit him, and she said he lives with her but he was asleep. I was like oh... but literally 5 minutes later he walks into the room and was so happy to see us and he then says " I had a feeling to wake up and come to the living room. You guys have a message for me? " 


We taught him about Joseph smith and the restoration and he LOVEDDDD it and afterwards he was in tears and said he really needed to hear this. He also came to church on Sunday and loved it and turns out he has quite a few friends in the ward!!! Please everyone pray for him. We will be inviting him to be baptized this week!!! 

Rubim e famรญlia dele - Rubim and his "wife" were baptized a few months ago without being legally married..... Don't ask me how that happened but it did. But we/ past missionaries have been reteaching the lessons and trying to get him and his family back to church be long story short someone said something about his marriage situation and it really hurt them so they haven't come back to church since... so past missionary have been working to get them back , and to also baptized there kids. Unfortunately the only way Rubim will let his son and daughter get baptized is if he is the one that performs the baptism..... but unfortunately he cant because he is not legally Married so he is not able to receive the priesthood. Long story short, we visited them on Thursday and invited them to church. after 6 months of not coming to church HIS WHOLE FAMILY CAMEE!!!! the whole ward was basically jaw dropped. Everyone pray they continue to have a change of heart and will decided to get married 
Pine valley, UT fire- For those of you that don't know, my literal 2nd home/ city is all on fire.... we have a cabin that I and my family have grown up going to for years and years. It has been our safe haven. Unfortunately the whole valley and mountain was in flames. I woke up to messages/photos/videos from my mom and Grandparents to the whole Neighborhood in rubble and ashes.... by the grace of god, our cabin is still standing with only a few fire damaged spots. In the photos you can see the feet prints of the firefighters up against our house protecting it.. 
So grateful for the countless people who bless and serve our country each and everyday!!
Everyone please send prayers for the permit residences that live there 

Jardim Amรฉrica 

Okkkk guys new area is great!!! This week literally has flown by and I have never been so busy in my life. Huge blessing, love staying busy
We spend half the day in the office doing First Responders. Basically We manage all the Media References we receive and we have to call/ message them and make sure
- Right phone number / Name
- right address / in our mission
- They have interest
- Give a mini lesson
- setup next appointment with the missionary in there city
Moral of the story I feel like I am one of those Indian spam callers that try's to get your account info.. been fun 
The point is to weed out all the people that have no real interest and send the cool people to the missionaries to save time. It has been so cool / fun. I love it. Sister Sandin even Invited 2 people to be baptized and they said yes. Was super cool listening in.... I was just sitting there like No way she just invited this random guy to be baptized. But he accepted and the elders are already teaching him and apparently its going super well!!! We then spend the rest of the day out in the field, doing normal missionary Activities

Everyone go watch this video and listen to this talk RIGHT NOW 
" The lord can make the willing ABLE but he can not make the able WILLING ". - Renlund
Absolutely loved this quote I will leave you all with this thought ... leave our pride, our stubbornness, worldly desires, Selfishness. Let us turn our hearts to the savior and do our best to make his will our will. And watch / wait for the miracles and blessings to come into our lives.
I know as we turn our lives over to him, we become someone and something more. Our lives turn more purposeful, and joyful. I am in amaze everyday for the things I have
been able to do and learn on my mission. I know god and the grace of my savior and his atonement has turned me into something I couldn't have done alone.
Put your turst in him.
Love you all so much, so thankful for all the amazing support I receive each and every week i have the best friends and family! have an amazing week, if there anything I can do for you let me know! Always reach out to me, absolutely LOVE to hear about anything and everything!!! 
Love Sister , Hal , Tebbs
