Sleepless Nights and a "Potato Sack Dress"

First week of the transfer down - miracle of the week: we didn't die! This week was so, so rushed. As the sister training leaders of the staff, we are in charge of helping sisters that leave and arrive for transfers, sisters that finish their missions, sisters that come to teresina for medical reasons, etc. Tudo. Everything. And many times, they come and leave at midnight, or around 3 am. We had to help sisters from Monday until Thursday... so yes, we were EXHAUSTED this week. But luckily all went well, everybody was happy and headed off to their areas. Sucesso!
Fact of the week: Sister Lucas finished up her mission and returned home this week :( Let's be completely honest here: I am happy for her, but sad for me! hahaha of course I cried as she left and her taxi pulled away, like any loving daughter would do.

Due to the fact that we only had about 3 days to work, not too much happened this week. But we did see miracles! We are working in a neighborhood that hasn't been very explored by previous missionaries (due to the fact that it's really far away..) and we have met some awesome people! We have already marked some baptism dates for April, and we are excited to keep going with them.
Miracle of the week: Yasmim. Yasmim is the step daughter of a member here in the Teresina ward. She is 14 years old, and has great potential. This Sunday, the young women were so welcoming, and we were able to teach a lesson with her in the front of the batismal font - and she accepted a baptism date. Please pray for Yasmim that she can continue excited with this decision to be baptized and, keep going strong!

boa semana todo mundo!
