Week 36 - Florianópolis - Episode #5 - Tex Mex in Brasil = felicidade

Hello everyone.. another great week!

So Tuesday our mission received a visit from Sister Marriot (2nd Counselor of Young Women Presidency) and her husband. They were super funny and her talk was really good. She talked about her conversion story and how the Book of Mormon was really how she gained her testimony. It is so important to get our investigators reading the Book of Mormon as soon as possible so that they can feel the Spirit when we aren´t with them. She also talked about the importance of praying with ´´all the energy of heart´´ (Moroni 7:48) and out loud. I have started putting a lot more energy into my prayers and I have felt a huge difference.

This week we had a super cool experience going out with a couple from our ward who is actually the ex bishop. They picked us up and they were planning on taking us to visit one of their friends but when we got in the car they said they felt like we should go visit a less active/ part member family that we visited once. We agreed and when we got there and were talking with them,  the mom, Paulina, told us how earlier she had knelt down and prayed for God to show her a light and she knew that´s why we were there. It was so incredible. We taught the Restoration and gave the daughter that isn´t a member O Livro de Mormon. We are way excited to work with them.

Also this week we had another lesson with our surfista investigator and he went to church Sunday and liked it!

This area really feels a lot like SoCal. The hardest part is to get people to go to church because they would rather sleep or go to the beach.   

Everything is going well with Guillerme and he is still good to be baptized on the 13th.

Big news: Found a Tex Mex food truck and I had my first burrito in 8 months!

Well that´s pretty much the main stuff from this week. Love you guys!!

Sempre fica firme, forte e feliz!!
