4th transfer in my 4th area ♥

4/30/18

Transfers were today! And I'm staying round 4 here in Américo to finish training Sister Labra!!! We're working super well together. I'm so excited! 

Tamires is preparing for baptism this week and is on fire. She's loving church and is getting really well integrated with the members here! 

And this week I was reading a lot about dilligence and enduring to the end. One of the most important things that I've learned on my mission is to perservere (is that how you spell it?). Things are hard and trials are hard and sometimes you just want sit on the sidewalk and cry in the beating sun after talking to 23492348 people who rejected you - but when you try just a little harder, talk to just one more person, miracles happen. The Lord blesses us in our efforts and the reward for pushing ourselves just a little more is so much greater than what we hope for. And it's a promise from our Heavenly Father that, if we do so, we'll one day gain eternal life with Him. I know that this gospel is true and that we have a loving Heavenly Father who is aware of every effort we make and is very happy with us when we choose the right. 

I love being a missionary! I love Brasil! These next few weeks will be fantastic!! 

todo o meu amor,

Sister Morata
