This week was different for sure, as it was our first week living just us two - Sister Beraldo and I. It was so so hard to say goodbye to the other Sisters (especially Sister Finati who is now in São Luis), but all is well! The Lord calls, and we answer, right?
Highlights of this past week:
HELLO IM 20 YEARS OLD. Tchau teenage years! Thank you family for all of the cute things you sent for me! Totally made my day <3
And especially thankful for the members here in Parnaíba! Received so much love from them on my birthday, and a few of them even gave me little presents #ohmyheart love my second home here in Parnaíba.
But my birthday was really good (: Especially because we had the baptism of José, one of our investigators (he has a really cool story, where he was addicted to drugs living a life he didn't want. Met a less-active member in the hospital, and decided to come to church. So cool to see how he has completely changed his life, and wants to follow the right path that God has for him. And this less-active member now comes to church! God works in mysterious ways)
One of our investigators (who I absolutely love with all my heart might mind and soul) has progressed so much. This past Saturday, she told us that she talked with her husband, and decided not to baptize her baby, Emanuel, because of the knowledge that she now has about the gospel. So incredible to see how she is really understanding the things we are teaching, and applying them in her life for her family <3 my heart is just giddy to see how much she has progressed already! (:
Advice of the week:
Always recognize the little tender mercies throughout your day. Not only is it just so much easier to have a positive atitude, but really, the little miracles are little ways that God shows His love for us - that He is mindful of us and our situation. Here is my challenge for everyone this week, to seek out mini miracles in your day every. single. day. and thank Heavenly Father! Simple, yes. Effective? For sure.
Love all of you! Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. Definitely felt angels working alongside me this past week.
