Weekly points ( this is probably gonna be a lame email dont have tons sorry, but hope this email finds you well )  

Crazy lady 

We are knocking doors and we met this older women, like probably in her 60-70s. She lets us in we give her a message and she really likes it and said we could come back! ...... the next day we get a message and she called the cops on us and sent them our pictures, and made a statement for our arrest.....  

She actually crazy, she sent us all these messages basically just ripping into us about our race, religon, how my Português is bad lol and how we lied, stole all her information, out her in some facebook group and are going to hell. It was quite funny. No cop has found us yet so for once im grateful for a bad goverment system that doesn't help the peoples needs  

Lucas and Regina 

If you remember, when I was in Congonhas I was teaching this single mom and her son, the whole time I was there, with Sister Hancock. Lucas would ride his bike to church every week. We taught them all the lessons and invited them to be baptized. I will never forget this invite because I remember so strongly the spirit guiding me to invite them and the power of the gift of tounges helping say everything I needed to say literally perfectly. Afterwards They excepted. However, the original date we had for them fell threw, because of some personal issue with Regina. We tried to help them feel more perpared but unfortunately I got transfered AGAIN. Well this week on our prayer list of baptisms for the whole mission I saw regina and lucas, I called the elders in Congonhas and they were like yesss its happening Lucas past the interview but regina didnt but we are still going to work with her, she wants to get baptized. I cried I was SO HAPPY. I LOVE this family so much. Yesterday I was in tears when I saw Lucas in his baptism suit next to his mom  Was actually heartbroken / so mad I wasnt able to be there, but then I remembered the scripture Mosiah 18:21 " ... They should look forward with one eye, having one faith and one baptism. Having there hearts knit together in unity and in love one towards anothor. " 

I was reminded, It doesn't matter "whos" baptism it was, doesnt matter if I was there or not, what matters is we all have the same goal helping and inviting people to come unto christ. My joy would've been equal weather if I was there or not. I realized again the fruits of my labor was harrvest, and I played a leading role in helping this amazing family, and im so thankful for the opportunity I had to serve them. They strengthed my testimony. I am so thankful for the elders for there efforts and helping them get there!!! 

My girls ‍‍‍

I got to see all my favorite people in the mission on Wednesday! Hoover, lowe, Rocha, and Paget are all Stls so they had to come to juiz de fora for a leaders conference. So we had a good bonding session and I just felt like " whoa I LOVE my mission" but then they left and felt empty again  lol just playing love the mission guys. But fr the people make it 10000x better. Toover will be one day. Keep fasting and saying your prayers 

Interviews with Prezy Clarke 

He so cool, genuinely ever interview just gets better and better. I genuinely had like nothing to say to him. I just barely got to the area, I literally started off my interview saying " President I have no Fofoca ( drama, gossip) to tell you its been a week  ". But I came prepared with some spiritual questions for me and for my area. Insane how in tuned to the spirit he is. My interview was just a 30 min gospel discussion/ Training. Was awesome and learned alot, and left feelings like Caption Moroni.
