Truman Show

April 16, 2018
Anyway so real fast this week went by fast with a new area and a new comp.  My new comp is Sister Guimaraes and she's from Curatiba, and she is 26 years old.  She's been a member for 8 years and she has one other sister.  She loves eating and sleeping and she's been in this area for 4 and a half months.  My area has a total of 15 streets and it's like a little beach town that is nowhere near the beach.  It's closer to mountains than to the beach.  Basically it's like this transfer is the Truman Show in real life if anyone has ever seen that show (thank you 7th grade science class).  What's funny though is that on the other side of a main road dividing our area is a mall.  And everyone seems to know my  comp here, like everyone! It's great! 
This week we did a lot of finding people and meeting some of the recent converts here.  The area is small, but my zone is huge. It's the first time that I have other sisters in my district and more than 3 duplas in my district. 
I also ran into my “brother” from Itaperi this Sunday.  He was visiting the other ward and it was so fun to see a familiar face from my other area and even though its just been a week it was fun to hear all about Itaperi and how everyone is.  
I was reading a talk from Elder Hales this week and he was talking about attributes of Christ and how we need to weave in those attributes into our life tapestry.  I like this analogy because if we weave it into our daily lives just think about how much prettier our life's tapestry will be!    
Love you all soo much!!Have a great week!!!

Conference

This week was crazy fantastic and fast!!!  Also Happy Easter!! I hope you all took time to reflect on the amazingly wonderful gift of the atonement in our lives and how as we learn to keep the commandments we can become closer to Christ!

We got to go see the Easter show that a few wards put together every year.  It was soo fun because we got to see the other mission too! Fortaleza. Which was so fun because we got to see a few of our friends from the CTM!!! 

We also had a baptism this week!!! Remair was baptized and it was great!! along with a family of 4 that the Elders had been teaching!!  Just a spiritual moment and at the end of the baptism all the missionaries of the zone got to sing to everyone!  And then after, we all went back to watch the second half of conference.  

Conference was amazing this weekend!! Sustaining of the Prophet and 2 apostles and one being from Brasil.  (people lit up with excitement with the announcement here).  Also with 7 new temples being announced; one being in Russia and one in India.  How cool is that and the changes with visiting and home teaching!! I'm soo excited about the announcements!!!  The Church is moving forward!! And these new changes will help us even more to come closer to Christ as we work together and love one another!  Conference was amazing. If you didn't get to watch it, GO WATCH IT!! You will love it!!! You can find it on lds.org  


Have a wonderful week!!!
