Week 88

Monday, August 19, 2019

Hey everyone how’s it going! It’s been a while sorry... But everything is going great and I’m in a hurry trying to get everything done that God needs from me. It’s weird to think that this week starts the ten week count down... I tried telling mom that Becca will be sending big beautiful letters but she said I need to send them too ;) 

This week we had a conference with our zone and president and his wife. Sister Mazzagardi (the wife) is truly amazing! Every training she gives is truly a blessing for our mission. This last was about Tools that we have in a mission and tools that Satan has. It’s great to take a few moments to appreciate all that God gives us to be successful in our lives and missions. I also had an interview with President about what the branch needs and we are resolving to combine the two here in the city to prepare it to become a ward and eventually here in a few years turn the district into a stake. So it’s super exciting to see the work advance in a real big way. 

The secretaries of the mission called to ask what airport I'll be returning... I responded Dubai... So that should be a fun mini vacation ;) (Just kidding mom) I also had to take out some documents to liberate other documents that will allow me to leave the country. Almost didn’t work but in the end we found a way. I never know all this stuff was so complicated. They say it will take 3 months to be approved... I hope not because my tickets are for here in 2 months... but we´ll see what happens. Luckily my pres has a big influence. 

The work here is going good. We are finding new people every day. The other day we found a family from Columbia and Venezuela. I’ve been training my Spanish to teach them. I’ve already had the chance to teach and baptize a sweet refuge from Venezuela. We also found a woman from Sao Paulo who is the only member in her family and moved here recently. We are going to start teaching her husband Rogerio and Josef (pronounced Joseph) this week. Vinicious is also doing very well. I’ve really found a true friend in him. Over all I’m excited to see what these next few weeks will bring. 

I miss you all tons and hope you all are doing well and taking advantage of every opportunity God gives to spread the good news of salvation. Have an amazing week!!!!
