So this week we had A LOT OF THINGS HAPPEN! But I just want to start out with a story that started a couple of weeks ago. And thank you for all of your prayers. So Irmão Fransisco (I don't remember the code name) But he is the one whose daughters ran away. We had a family night at his house and his sons were home. But there is more. In the middle of the Spiritual thought both of his daughters returned home as well. They are safe and home. Thank you so much for all of your prayers! This is more or less what happened. They ran away. But did not have enough money. So they were on the bus where the girls went missing. But then they got half way to natal and got kicked off because they didn't have money. Which was a great blessing. And then somehow they made it to their moms house (because their parents are divorced) But did not talk to their dad. Until Thursday night, they showed up at their dad's house. ( they ran away about a month ago So this was the first time in a month that he had seen his daughters) I almost cried. The oldest of his daughters is the same age as my youngest sister Sammie.
This morning we climbed a rock with the cross on the top. It was really high but TOTALLY worth it. Just the elders and me and sister Hernandez climbed to the top. There was one moment when I was trying to get down when I was not touching any rock. I was just holding the hand of elder Ifran. He thankfully helped me and Sister Hernandez get down :) AND I have pictures as proof! It was legal! I want to do it again someday!
Another weird thing that I heard on the radio cars was this church was requiring people to pay 110 reais to be baptized! WHAT! NO WAY! Freak! I think that is crazy!
And FINALLY! I just want to give the BIGGEST SHOUT OUT TO THE....da da da da! THE BEST MISSION IN THE WORLD! NEVADA LAS VEGAS! Don't get me wrong I love Brazil! But the last week I have really missed my mission in NEVADA LAS VEGAS! (Even my companion misses that mission and she has never even been to the US let alone Las Vegas Mission) But This is why I miss Las Vegas!
1. PRESIDENT AND SISTER SNOW! President Snow would ALWAYS RESPOND to my emails. And If I had a question it was answered if not on P-Day it was answered by Tuesday! And Sister Snow was so close! I could talk to her and there was one day when she took our zone out to lunch! SO AWESOME!
2. I had the BEST TRAINER IN THE WORLD! I learned so much from Sister Morceli! She is literally the best there is! MISS HER!
3. Our Zone Leaders and District leaders are full of love and invested in LASTING CONVERSION! (This is really important! Don't ever change this!)
4. The Nevada LAs Vegas Mission is ORGANIZED! Down to the maps and the areas!
5. BECAUSE I LOVE LAS VEGAS! THE PEOPLE ARE AWESOME!
There is my little shout out! Just remember this! I will return many times to LAs Vegas! Brazil também, but Las Vegas is easier!
Love you all!
XOXO
