Divisions with Vargasssss ( Vegas and Tables )
Had Divisions with Sister Vargas. She told me that when she frist saw me she thought my name was sister Tables and I told her I thought her name was vegas.. so were perfect for each other! But seriously I love working with her I can't lie. Every Division I go on with her I am blown away at how she teaches! We had a day full of tender mercies, and we found TONS of people! Funny story- We are teaching about baptism and we explained what makes a baptism vaild, we then ask the lady " after learning about what we taught you. Do you think your baptism fits these requirements? " ...... this lady looks at us and goes " well I was baptized by a Women ". Sister Vargas jaw fell to the floor and her reaction alone made this whole situation just hilarious. She then says " can you imagine jesus christ being baptized by a women? " the lady was speachless... she then looks up and goes " I think I need to be baptized again " . Was a good lesson 
Religon is of the devil .....
We were making street contacts, which every contact in brasil is always an adventure. The majority of people here are respectfully the most intresting / crazy people I have ever met in my life.
However this one guy we talked too... he has some serious religious trama or something. He sat and yelled at us for literally 45 minutes. Sayings how religion is of the devil. It was created to seprate men, it divides us not joins us. Religon is a prison, I hope that one day you guys can be liberated from this cult you are in. How we were brained washed and need to seek the truth.
Was honestly a 10/10 experience.
Tree of life with Leandro 
Everyone PLEASE keep Leandro in your prayers he is progressing sooo well! I cried after the lesson. He is just glowing, he is making so many changes in his life and you can genuinely see the joy / hope slowly coming back! We had a super powerful lesson with him about the tree of life. We started of the lesson asking him " what blessing do you want most? " he answered "eternal life".
We watched the video together and we couldn't even get threw it without him Interrupting saying " OH thw iron rod is the church " " oh the tree is eternal life" " oh the building is the world ". Was awesome! I always love teaching him. He always is so engaged and asks the best questions. We talked about ways we can stay on the path, and what brings us closer ( Baptism). He accepted. Just havent gotten a clear date yet 
however, he asked a question that lead to a powerful spiritual experience for us all.
however, he asked a question that lead to a powerful spiritual experience for us all. Why are you guys here? What is your personal reason on why you are here? It took me and sister sandin off guard a little. But the spirit was so strong. Sandin started baring testimony on her personal reason/purpose on why she was here and she memtioned how she knew she was here for the people, that someone here in Juiz de fora needed her. Leandro raised his hand in the air refering to him, it was so cute. Then after I gave my testimony. I just felt the love christ had for him and for me and I was just overwhelmed. i kept getting choked up, I imagined what if I didn't serve... he wouldn't have had the change, the hope, the joy he is experiencing. I Was just filled with the spirit. And filled with so much gratitude as I shared my reason with him on why I chosed to serve. After wards he looked at us and said " Sisters, I know you are here for me. Thank you for leaving your lifes to save mine. I will get baptized. Just give me time ".
Was literally the most amazing feeling ever. 
Studies 
My Studies have been SOOO powerful this week. Guys truly take the time to study and understand the scriptures, you will find every question, every doubt, answered. You will also feel the changes in you heart, and notice a change in your desires. It is impossible to study the words of god and our savior and not feel / see a change in our lives. I genuinely view things differently and it is becuase of my studieds
One of the imrãos in the ward asked me who was a former mission president " Sister do you know who jesus christ is? " and I looked at him and said " yes of course I do, why? " he said " But do you know him as the living water? The Alpha and omega? Avocate? Redeemer? " he then contuined to explain how in the back of the book of mormon and the bible in the dictionary there is a section that has every name of christ and scriptures References attached to them. He challenged us to get a jornal and study the 72 names, and write what we learned, how we have seen that in our lives, then bare testimony. I have started applying this, in the short time I have done this, it has changed the way I view my savior. I know he loves us. And i know he lived and died for us. 
challenge you all to know your savior too. He is waiting.
challenge you all to know your savior too. He is waiting. Lovvveeee you all with my whole heart! Have an amazing week! Always here, just reachout if you need me
Love Sister, Hal, Tebbs
