7/30/19 - Missions are Fun Things

Missions are the best and they're fun and spiritual and I love being a missionary. Nuf said.

Juliana was baptized! Whoot! She's the sister of a member and after 7 months of visiting the church she was baptized! Her testimony is amazing.

President Ribeiro turned 50 this week so we had a suprise party for him with the Staff and the sisters we live with. President Ribeiro is the perfect mix of cool dad and wise president. Ah I just love him and his family so much.

All transfer S. Almeida and I have wanted to go to o Pico de Jaraguá but every time we tried to go, something came up. The staff went a few weeks ago but the Elders forgot to invite us and when they got there remembered, "oh yeah, where are the TLTs?" President had compassion on us and since today is Sister Almeida's last pday on the mission he and Sister Ribeiro took us by car. It's the highest point in São Paulo. This city is literally a sea of concrete. Under the layer of smog you can't see the end of the buildings. President and I raced to the top. After we had churrasco with the rest of the mission staff. I love these people!

I'm realizing more and more that my mission is coming to an end and it makes me so sad! Every day is one day less I have to be an official representarive of Jesus Christ. I'll never be here with the exact same people doing the exact same thing again. I gotta make it count! Full speed ahead, no time waste! 

I still got lots more time to baptize these folks.

Fiquem tranquilos
