ahhh first of all, so so sorry for last week´s email! We were super busy!! And secondly, how is everybody doing?? I hope super well!
This
week was super successful for both my companion and I, and our zone!
Our zone had 11 baptisms this week and it´s super awesome because
supposedly, the mountains don´t baptize at all! So we´re feeling super
super happy! Also, our ward hasn´t baptized any new converts in about 2
years I guess so it´s such a happy time for everyone in our area!
I
had my second baptism this week for Robin!! He´s the husband of Mariela
and they´re family is SO sweet! They now have the fullness of the
gospel in their cute home! Saturday was insanely crazy because we didn´t
have the keys to the font and so I had to jump over the glass of the
font to open the door and turn on the water! I was shaking so much but
hey, I´m a missionary and missionaries do service for whoever and
whenever! Haha but yes, we then continued to fill the font with bucket
after bucket of ICE COLD water! Poor Robín, he was probably freezing! Oh
yes, and after the baptism the missionaries were talking to Alba,
Robín´s sister, and she decicded in that moment, that she wanted that
same happiness in her life! So we had a surprise last minute baptism for
Alba the next morning before church!
Earlier
in the week, Hermana Rosas and I were walking and saw this cute little 5
year old crying and so we went over to him and hugged him and made him
feel like he was the most important kid in the entire world! When we
were laughing and telling jokes with him, a bunch of kids came over and
started talking to us! Hermana Rosas and I decided to sing hymns with
them and teach them a little about the Book of Mormon and it was SO fun!
I love love love the kids here and their sweet spirits!
Our
progressing investigators are thee best people ever! There is this
family that I absolutely ADORE and they´re so so so faithful and the
family just loves learning more and more about the gospel! They are one
of the reasons why I love waking up in the morning and teaching these
beautiful people this ahhh amazing plan of happiness!
I
absolutely love the mission more than words can explain! It´s dificult
and tough at times, but every week I am just reminded of the happiness
that this gospel brings when I see shining, happy faces in sacrament
meeting!
I challenge each of you to think of
something you LOVE in your life and share it with the people that you
love! Each of you mean the absolute world to me and I´m so thankful for
your sweet words and testimonies you share with me each week!
Love you all beyond words,
Hermana Pereira
ps. I see about 100 dogs everyday!! Like actually I´m not exaggerating, I saw 103 in one day!!
