Lol the little city I'm in literally does nothing for Carnaval except close all the shops so Carnaval wasn't that exciting hahaha and we literally had to walk 41894654 miles to find a lan-house that was open (place where you pay to use a computer and send/read emails lol @ not being an iPad missionary)
Anyways, this week was AWESOME in finding people! We are meeting with this 17 year old girl named Verónica who seriously understands everything better than anybody else I've met. We taught her all about the Book of Mórmon and gave her a chapter to read and we come back and she's read that and more and has questions ready. She hasn't come to church yet but we will keep trying!!
We also met this suuuper sweet young mom (seriously has the cutest bebezinha) who has met with missionaries before and loves them and wants to continue to meet with us and wowowow I love her.
Anyways, this week has been loads and loads awesome. This old man tried to kiss my cheek the other day and I kind of flipped out and just shook his hand and he was all, "Haha, you Americans not used to this" blah blah blah and my trainer/companion Sister German started laughing really hard when he walked away hahah that was fun.
ALSO Sister German and I are officially the 702 Crew if you were wondering.
Spiritual thought: So I've been sharing this scripture with practically everybody lately and I love it. It's 2 Néfi 4:19 (I think!) and it says: And when I desire to rej
(sorry I don't know how to change the font) but I love love love this scripture because everybody feels discouraged and down and not good enough every once in a while. We feel like we can't change, like we've dug ourselves too deep any we can't get back up. But I love this scripture and how it reminds us that, even when we feel like this, we can remember that it is in God that we have trusted. He will help us through our trials. And through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can feel peace, we can be clean again, we can be whole in Him. I know that this church is true and that through this gospel, we can receive all the strength and faith and hope that we need to overcome whatever the adversary throws at us. I have felt down, I have felt like I can't do this, but when I realize that these thoughts don't come from me or from my Heavenly Father, and I can turn to the One who saves and find that strength. This is my testimony, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
I LOVE YOU ALL.
Todo o meu amor,
Sister Morata
