5/2/18 - Last P Day in the CTM!

We went procyliting again on saturday and this time Sis Bybee and I went with the attitude that the number doesn't matter we were just praying for opportunities to talk to people. Our prayers were answered in a way that we didn't expect! Not only did we talk to many people, 3 people approached us and wanted to know more. In our short one hour time block we found 8 contacts. Yet another miracle!

Playing Violin is so fun! We had 2 Elders that just arrived and they brought their violins. I'm learning a lot and the Lord is continuing to magnify my small offering. 

I report to the field on Tuesday Morning! Crazy! My mission is only a 20-30 minute drive from the CTM. I'm very excited but also nervous because my Portuguese is functional, but minimal. Good thing the Lord is in charge! 

Sister Bybee and I are having a hard time accepting that our time as companions is coming to an end. I adore her.

I'm so excited to Skype home my first Sunday in the field!

I need to start keeping a tally of how many times people tell me I look like a Barbie or Polly Pocket. It's more than I can count on my fingers and my toes.

Looking back in my journal I am not the same person I was spiritually 6 weeks ago when I arrived. I've learned to rely on the Lord more than I ever have before. I've learned that exact obedience combined with patience, humility, and a whole lot of prayer will bring miracles big and small to every part of your life. I'm so thankful for how my relationship with my Savior has grown and how my faith has been made stronger though Him.

Have an amazing week! EU AMO VOCÊ!
