last week was super great! We decided to splurdge with the left-over
money we had from some Sisters here from lunch, annnd we bought the
ingredients to make oreo balls! Except Brasilian oreo balls. They were
faaaaantastic. IF you´ve ever heard of brigadeiro you´ll understand.

WE MADE MEXICAN FOOD FOR LUNCH ONE DAY THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!! It was a glorious feast. I ate way more than I should have.
One
night we had to literally run home to make it to our house before 10
pm, and we took a pic after XD Yall can try and figure out which one
hahah
On Sunday I actually had time to do my
hurrrrr #milagre We wore our new clothes that we bought at a thrift
store, for 10Reis, which is like $3! Woop! winners
But
yeah! This week was amazing! We found a golden family! Maydza finally
offered a prayer outloud and it was the most beautiful prayer! I am so
stoked about this upcoming week. It is the last week of the transfer, so
it could be my last here in paranaguá. I really hope not, because I
LOVE It here. But we shall see!
This week was
also one of those weeks where I felt like I needed to be putting more
effort into growing SPIRITUALLY. I realized that I haven´t been
consciously applying the Atonement in my life, daily. The Atonement is
the word we use to refer to the sacrafice Christ made for each of us.
As I was studying about the Atonement this week I had a series of
thoughts that I wanted to share with ya´ll.
Whenever
I imagine Christ, I imagine ressurected. I imagine Him with a perfect
body, and with perfect scars on His hands and feet, like the painters
paint Him. And I began to think about how it actually probably won´t be
like that. His scars will not be perfect. They will represent His
SACRIFICE. They will represent all the pain and suffereing He went
through, for each one of us. And I imagined how I will feel when I see
Him again, for the first time. How will I feel? Will I feel unworthy?
Will I have regrets? Grateful? Tiny? etc. And I thought about how every single time we see Christ He will have those same marks.
All of these thoughts left me with the great desire to do absolutely everything I can to personally KNOW and LOVE my Savior.
I know Christ lives, and I know that one day the WHOLE world will know He lives.
