Walking with Jesus

 Yall 


If had been writing this email on Friday all I would have to say is that some weeks are just hard.  

Writing this email on Monday, I can testify that God's timing is perfect and that all things have a purpose. 

I can also promise that God is perfectly aware of every one of His children. 

Everyone 

Isn't that crazy? 

He is aware of the bus driver reading the Book of Mormon every day even though his wife doesnt approve. 

He is aware of the 11 year old walking alone to church every Sunday waiting for permission from his mom to be baptized. 

He is aware of the missionary sitting on the bus bench discouraged because she knows that she didnt work as hard as she could have. 

He is aware of everyone🤯

So in case you forgot this week
God hasn't forgotten you 


Thats all for today
Love you all

I Can Sleep When the Wind Blows

  This week wow.  🫠🥰😇😭🤩🫣😅  A lot happened.  Last Wednesday our duo turned trio when Sister Andreoli joined us!!! Backing up a couple of weeks, our friend Yola with a crazy strong testimony told us that she read stuff on the internet and didnt want to be baptized. Thennn a week later, she callrd us up out of the blue and told us that she watched our video about the temple and all her doubts disappeared!! She is going to be baptized this Sunday!!! Sadly I won't be here because I am staying in Queluz with Sister Weed until transfers next week 😭  There have been a lot of other ups and downs these past weeks but I dont have time to write them all:( I have been thinking a lot about yhe principle of preparation this week. I listened to a BYU speech called "I can sleep when the wind blows" The gist is that if we decided to prepare now, we will be ready for the storms.  I remember when i was 14(?) I decided to make a list of my values. Things that I would al...

I Want to be a Butterfly

  On the byu speech grind and I found this cute story from a talk by Wendy Watson(Nelson) "A children’s story tells of a caterpillar named Yellow who is trying to find out what she should be doing with her life. In her wanderings she discovers another caterpillar seemingly caught in some gauzy, hairy filament. Concerned, she asks if she can help. He explains that this is all part of the process of becoming a butterfly. When she hears the word butterfly, her whole insides leap. “But what is a butterfly?” she asks. The cocooned caterpillar explains: “It’s what you are meant to become.” Yellow is intrigued but a bit defiant. “How can I believe there’s a butterfly inside you or me when all I see is a fuzzy worm?” On further reflection she pensively asks, “How does one become a butterfly?” And the answer? “You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.” The caterpillar life is appealing at times. I can convince myself that becoming a butterfly is too muc...

The Peace which Passeth all Understanding

If you follow European news, you might have heard already that Portugal was part of a massive blackout this past Monday. So that is my excuse for not sending an email 2 weeks in a row.  Though the blackout ended up being harmless, it was scary as a missionary. We were told that Portugal had been cyberattacked. We were given instructions to go to the chapel immediately and make sure that we had a supply of food and water. The markets were crowded with people stocking up on water jugs, bread and toilet paper(pois) Our phones lost service so after recieving the emergency text, we had no idea what was going on. From the talk of people on the street and the members who stopped by the church, this was the start of war.  Obviously that was a little dramatic. But with all the panic and the lack of information, it felt real. Even so, we weren't that scared. Definitely had a little anxiety but overall we were blessed with a peace that my companion quotes as "the peace of God which passe...
