Hello yall!
I love being a missionary 😍
This week was a roller coaster! We had SUPER GOOD DAYS, and then the opposite. But I´m happy!
This
week I got to do something that I´ve been DYING to do since I got here
in Brasil! My Mission President finally allowed us to! There´s a
picture here of me with a cup and a weird straw thing.. it´s called
chimarâo! It´s a type of tea! Pretty cool stuff. 100% certain I am
going to buy a whole bunch to take with me when I return to the good
'ole USA.
What else happened this week.. my
companion and I saw a TON of miracles. There was one day that was
literally like the best day ever. WE FOUND A GOLDEN INVESTIGATOR AND
HER NAME IS
TACIANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One
day we had 3 investigators "cut" us. Which means they don´t want our
visits anymore. So that was pretty fun stuff.. but hey it´s good too!
We will use our time more wisely now.
We
have a baptism marked for this Saturday.. Eliane. Everyone please add
her to your prayers because yeah. She didn´t pass her first interview,
and I´m really worried about this week. BUT prayers are powerful :D
For
a spiritual thought... yesterday in Relief Society the subject was
about blessings and how many times we forget how BLESSED we are. We
think more about our neighbors/co-workers life etc, than our own. But
the purpose of the lesson was to show that in reality we are all very
very blessed by a loving Heavenly Father.
I´d
like to challenge each of you to, for a moment, to forget about
alllllll the things you´d like to change, and think about the things you
are grateful for in your life.
*don´t read on until you´ve thought of at least 3 things ;) *

How do you feel? more happy?? More relaxed?? Definitely not stressed or angry, huh?
On
my mission here I have journal. It´s called, "Sister Councill´s livro
de Milagres" (which is incorrect Port grammar btw) or Sister Councill's
book of miracles. Everyday I write at least 1 miracle that happened that
day. I like to think of miracles as 'tender mercies.' A miracle doesn´t
have to be a huge thing, for me it´s when you recognize a blessing in
your life and recognize that it came from Heavenly Father.
Yall,
I know that every single day we have tender mercies/blessings/miracles
that happen. The hard party is having the eyes to recognize. But like
everything else, practice and prayer will help. As we pray
for the eyes to see, and really LOOK, we´ll recognize the blessings in
our lives; we´ll be grateful; we´ll be HAPPY.
