My
companion is the spunkiest girl I have ever met. Her name is Hermana
Tercero and she´s from Nicaragua!! She only has (almost) 3 months in the
mission, so I´m finishing her training!! But yeah, honestly, she makes
me laugh so hard everyday. Working is SO fun when you have a crazy
companion! I love her and the work though, it´s just so much more
enjoyable when you can joke around and laugh and smile about anything!
So
my area is SUPER huge, and so is our ward, so that´s a HUGE blessing! I
love the ward and the members and just the area in general! I´m really
adapting to the change! I really really really love it here!!! We have 5
solid investigators and I´m SUPER happy with their progress!! They´re
all such a light in my life and I´m so thankful for their growing
testimonies! I LOVE talking with them and learning more about their
lives and just watching their faith grow!!
So
the other day we were walking in "Las Tierras" and over there, it´s like
SUPER dangerous, literally after 5 o´clock, the woman walk around with
machetes and axes because the men over there are scarrryyyyy. But don´t
worry moms who are reading this, we hop in our little tuk tuk at 4:30
and call it a day in las tierras!! But so we were walking and this
girl, Leslie, was sitting outside and we both decided to talk to her!
She is probably the SWEETEST girl I have ever met. She´s 14 and she has a
twin and she is just so open to listening to the gospel. We talk her
about Jospeh Smith and I could tell that during the lesson, her heart
changed and her face just became SO focused in the truthfulness of the
message! At the end, we challenged her to pray if the church is true,
and to be baptized in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
and she said YES! I was literally glowing with happiness! I´m literally
smiling as I´m writing this! I am SO HAPPY!
I
wish I could write every single miracle I see everyday but that´s just
way too many!! Haha, but my companion and I are really working on trying
to see one miracle everyday that we can really remember and use for
other people who are interested in the church. :)
I
hope and pray that each of you will feel the presence of the Holy Ghost
this week during your prayers and service to our Heavenly Father! I
know that God blesses every single person on the earth with the Gospel
of Jesus Christ and we all have the opportunity to know the truth and to
receive answers to our prayers!! I have a testimony of this church. I
know that this is the true gospel of Christ. We are SO blessed to be
able to have a relationship with our Heavenly Father and with our
brother, Jesus Christ! I know that it is through the Holy Ghost, that we
can feel God´s love and his INCREDIBLE support and help in our lives! I
couldn´t be MORE thankful for this short time to wear Christ´s name on
my heart and to share my testimony with everyone in the street.
I
now challenge each of you to find someone and share an experience that
when you gave service to someone, and the feelings that you felt
afterward! Did you feel happy? loved? Joy? Whatever you felt, it was an
attribute of Christ! And I´m so happy that you could recognize and feel
that special feeling in your life!
Ahh, I love this work and the people that I get to work with everyday!
Love you and I´m so happy to be a little ball of sunshine in the Lord´s work!
Xoxo,
Hermana Pereira 
ps.
in these photos, we were given SO much food one day... like from random
people... that´s probably why I have a parasite now that I think about
it.... hahaha oops... but yeah, we ate straight coconut, oranges, a
fruit called gushin (the green thing in my hand), and ingranisadas!!
