Irmã Tayna  ... theif of joy 

We have the cutest girl in our ward, she just got home from serving her mission in Recife... and she literally sent us a text the night she got home asking if she could work with us the next day. So literally our numbers lessons with Members this week was INSANE..... been the biggest blessing. She also like actually WORKS like I feel like im in a Trio, we all speak in the lessons and she even was making street contacts and literally inviting everyone to be baptized while we were walking. Was Actually amazing. Learned sooooo much. Unfortunately though I didn't take tge opportunity to learn super positively. I let my competitiveness get to me ....

I wont lie I definitely was thinking during this " whoa Im the worst misisonary/ Trainer ever" and my comp also was just hitting it of with her and just kept saying whoa Im learning so much... which made me SO HAPPY but also satan was working bc I literally could not stop comparing myself.. I got home literally just heartbroken. Comparisson was real.  Like whoa Ive been here for 15 months and I still suck no where near where I should be teaching ect ect. I had to do lots of repenting and lots of prayer to really just try and move past it but it got me pretty down. Moral of the story dont compare, god gave us all different gifts and talents. Unfortunately too the Language still is kicking my butt. I wish I could say I speak good.... but that would be me lying. Still struggling, Everyone still makes fun of me and having a brasil comp again has made me realize just how bad I am lol. Please please pleaseeeee pray for me to have the gift of tounges. I have 3 months to get this locked in.

Divisões Com ROCHINHA  ♡♡ 

Was really needing a divisão with Rocha. Goodness, Was the best thing ever to literally be back with her. I was also in my old area + with Rocha...... literally my brain was shut off. Was So nice to not have to lead, and do everything, stress about the planning, lessons, if my comp understands or not... Training is a lot of work lol. I'm very tried. I was able to open up to Rocha about some hard personal struggles I have been experiencing the last couple of weeks. Her answer was so spiritually inspired from god. I know he used her to be my answered prayer. She opened up and began to read from

 D&C 3 

1 The works, and the designs, and the purposes of God cannot be frustrated, neither can they come to naught

. 2 For God doth not walk in crooked paths, neither doth he turn to the right hand nor to the left, neither doth he vary from that which he hath said, therefore his paths are straight, and his course is one eternal round. 

3 Remember, remember that it is not the work of God that is frustrated, but the work of men

....

10 But remember, God is merciful; therefore, repent of that which thou hast done which is contrary to the commandment which I gave you, and thou art still chosen, and art again called to the work;

God work doesn't stop. Nothing we can do will stop gods will and work to be done. Hes work cant be frustrated. 

We get Frustrated when we rely on man ( myself. My strength alone) and the things of world. As we are spirtiually intune, doing our best, daily repentance, having faith in god. He will do the rest and we are enough for his work, callings and responsiblies. 

Love verse 10 beacuse even after all that we do wrong or not enough. God simply asks us to be humble, and repent.... and we are still chosen and still able to obtain the promise. 

God is merciful 

A thought my president shared with me during my interview was this.... 

" what gives me confidence in myself and in my callings, and as a member of the church is my covenants... espesically my temple covenants. As we worthly hold a temple recommend..... that then means we are qualified to enter the Celestial Kingdom, which means we are then worthy to be in the presence of god. Which gives me the unshaken faith and knowledge to know I am enough for god. I am enough for him, i am enough to be called to his work because I am worthy and enough to be in his presence"

Family Night Leandro 

The sisters surprised me and Leonardo. While I was on divisões they planned to do a family night with him. I was able to see him and his whole family and had the opportunity to talk to him about his baptism. I was holding back tears. I was just filled with gratitude and joy. The LIGHT and joy you can see and feel from his was incredible. He is a completely different person. Jesus truly saves. 

( I walked into there house seeing me and Sandins picture hanging on there wall next to all there family... #madeit ) 

Corn Coffee 

I am like 75% sure I broke the Word of wisdom and drank Coffee.... We were all really confused. Even my brasilian comp and member that was with us. In brasil they have all sorts of subs for Coffee and so this lady was like " oh dont worry this is corn based. Its not coffee. " ..... we all drank and i still dont know ahaha. Was funny though bc this sweet old lady was just so happy to be feeding us that literally she did not let us for one moment stop eating. So we all starting being mean to each other and making us eat more... for example she would say guys please eat more, and sister silva would say " Sister tebbs is shy and doesnt wanna take your food" which then lead this grandma to stacking my plate even higher of food. Then Once silva was done eating I said " Irmã She wants more food, she told me but feels embarrassed to talk to you. Lol 

We left sick  was hilarious tho. We could not stop laughing!!! 

Conferência Geral  

I made a challenge to watch General conference in Portuguese..... i made it until the last session on Sunday. Was unfortunately not the same experience and  didn't get alot out of it  ( thank heavens for techology bc I can go back and watch) but had one super cool / personal experience! 

It was the sunday morning session and president erying was the last speaker. I had the feelings to leave the room with everyone and watch the talk in english in the kitchen. Amd whoa SO HAPPY I DID. His talk quite literally punched me in the face. I was holding back tears. Everything he said I felt was directly focused for me. I came prepared for conference with questions in mind... not all were answered but I was able to gain the peace and prespective I was needing. 

God is so awhare of us. That is the biggest lesson I learn this week. We all have the power to receive revelation in our lives. 

I know our beloved Apostles and prophets are called of god. So thankful for them 

Love you all so much. Have an amazing week! Plz Keep praying for the work and people here! Look for god in your life. He is there
