They came in because Bishop invited them when they stopped by his house and started talking bad about our church and then Bishop told them that he is a member and bishop of that church and invited them to come and see for themselves how it is. So they did...and we started talking to them and they asked a lot of questions....they were really interested in the temple.....so we were careful what we told them but explained about temples to them. Then they tried to talk about their church with us....they said that the only thing they eat that comes from animals is eggs, and they don't eat sugar.....they are basically vegetarians to the extreme.....it was an interesting time.....</span></span></span></div>

She is really awesome!!! And she told us that she already knows that the Book of Mormon is true!!! It was really awesome. But then when we left it started raining REALLY hard and Sister Freitas left her umbrella at home....so Ana and her husband gave us a ride home and we grabbed the umbrella but when we left the house the street was already starting to flood, but off we went. But the further out we got the harder it started to rain and then we realized that Sister Freitas had a hole in her umbrella and she was getting soaked. So we stopped at a member's house until the rain calmed down....but then it was time to go home.....<br /></span></span></span><div class="yiv5288499029gmail_default" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1398739902364_1845" style="display: inline; font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif;">

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: black;"> <strong>Thursday</strong>- So while we were at lunch today we got a call from an investigator asking for us to come over today. (She was recently abused by her husband.) So we went over and talked to her about the gospel of Christ. She accepted baptism!!! Then we invited her to go with us to a welcome home party for a returning sister! Her name is Tania and she served in London, England!! She is really sweet!! I like her!<br /></span></div>
<div class="yiv5288499029gmail_default" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1398739902364_1847" style="display: inline; font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><strong>Friday</strong>- So we had lunch at home today and we decided to dye my hair blonde!! :o It was shocking to see!!! But after that we went and visited with this lady named Valiera. She was baptized when she was 15 but we aren't sure if her name was removed or not....because her visiting teachers came over when she was married and she said that she was really interested in coming back....but she wants us now to talk with her husband so we made another appointment. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><strong>Tuesday</strong>- So we had a division today. Sister Whipple and Sister Freitas went to Morada da Serra with Sister Kimball and I stayed in Tijucal with Sister Silva. It was a really good day...but it didn't last very long because they are doing a lot of construction work in the city we had to leave earlier to switch back so we could get back in time to go to a family night at an inactive member's house! So we all met at the mission office and then we went to our family night...it was really great! And then when we went home Sister Whipple and I decided to have a water fight!! Hehe It was super fun! :)<br /></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><strong>Wednesday</strong>- After lunch today we went to a big store (basically Sam's Club) and then we went back home and made chocolate Easter eggs to give to some members to thank them for helping us. :) Here in Brazil one big Easter tradition is you get a chocolate Easter egg. :)<br clear="all" /><br /><div class="yiv5885190218gmail_default" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1398316287837_5127" style="display: inline; font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif;">
<strong>Thursday</strong>- We went on splits. Sister Whipple went with me and Sister Freitas went with a member. So Sister Whipple and I just did contacts and we found this lady named Ana, and she accepted a baptism date!! :D</div>

So we decided to try and have an English class here in Tijucal! So we went to the LAN House and made invites and then we went back home and I helped Sister Whipple make a language study plan.<br /></div>
<div class="yiv5885190218gmail_default" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1398316287837_5131" style="display: inline; font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif;">
<strong>Sunday</strong>- So today was super great!! We had a sign up sheet for the English class and a LOT of people signed up!! :D And we told the members to bring friends!! So we are expecting a great turnout! Then after lunch we went to some nearby member's houses and we sang 'I know that my Redeemer Lives' and then shared our testimonies and prayed and then we thanked them for all of their help and gave them chocolate eggs!!! It went so well and we felt so great! It was really spiritual!! :)</div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"><strong>Tuesday</strong>- So we got to teach our gas station ladies! It was really awesome!! Josi is really wanting to put her life in order and I felt so great because I could see that I really was helping her!! </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"><strong>Wednesday</strong>- So we bassically spent all day doing contacts. But before that we finally divided the area in 2. It really helps a lot so that you can have a better idea of things. Actually I have been quoting Mawmaw lately...hehe..... "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!" </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"><strong>Thursday</strong>- So. Today we got a phone call form Elder Leão saying that we were being transferred to Tijucal to be in a trio with Sister Freitas. It was really sad news. I love Cuiabá so much!!! But I trust President Reber and if he think that we are needed in Tijucal then "I'll go where you want me to go!" (Tijucal in still in the Cuiabá city....like 40 minutes from where I was.) And I got my PACKAGE!!! :D</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"><strong>Friday</strong>- So we arrived in Tijucal in the morning and we just basically met members. It was really great!! The members here are super funny!! I really like them. :) And they really like Sisters here!! </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;"><strong>Saturday</strong>- So after lunch we visited a few inactive members and the last one that we visited I really learned something really important. There are so many people inactive because of gossip. And then when they try to come back everyone looks at them and the feel like people are talking and judging them. This is the biggest problem that we see. Pride and Judging. It is so sad to see people embarrassed to go to church because they know that people with talk about them. That night I made a heavenly food: TACOS!!!!!! <3 It was soooo good!!! Sister Freitas loved them!!! haha! :)</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><strong>Wednesday</strong>- We had to go to the Federal Police to register her with Brazil. Then we tried to go back to the doctor to show him my results....but he wasn't seeing patients so we went back to the office and the Elders gave her her training because her plane got in later and so she didn't get it with everyone else. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><strong>Thursday</strong>- So today we really DID see the doctor. He said I'm fine. He thinks it was like an infection with a short life span and because I'm feeling better he thinks it's gone. THen after that we went to the gas station to get food and we talked with the two chashiers and we ended up teaching them there un the gas station about the Book of Mormon and gave them each one. :) It was really awesome! They are really wanting to learn but they work a lot. One of them, Josi, actually works two jobs....so we will probably be talking more with Dasi. </span></span></div>

We don't have an Area Book or anything yet so we are basically starting from scratch. So we went and did contacts. But becasue we are in the city there is a lot of apartment buildings....which are really hard to get into because they only let you in if you know someone......please pray for us that we can get in!!! :/ </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><strong>Saturday</strong>- CONFERENCE!!!! So fun conference story....so we had lunch early with a member but because lunch ran late we stayed with them to watch the 1st session and they said that Sister Whipple and I could watch in English.....but then the other computer wasn't picking up the signal.....so I decided to watch in Portuguese and let Sister Whipple watch on his phone in English.....so she was watching and everything and she looked into it. So everyone was happy for her! But then when we left and went to the church to watch the other session she told me that the member had her on youtube to watch conference and he actually just typed in "general conference" and then the first talk he saw.....little did we all know (because she didn't say anything) he was just clicking on random conference talks from various years!!! She wasn't watching the right conference!!! But when we got to the church we watched in English. :)</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><strong>Monday</strong>- SO this morning we started washing clothes...by hand....again.....because the faucet is too small to connect it to the washing machine so we need to buy an adaptor. So I just started washing. And then halfway through the Elders asked to borrow our blender and so when I gave it to them they asked why I was wet and I told them about the clothes and they were like "oh wait! I think we have one of those at our house!" and they did! SO we put it all together and now we are washing clothes the lazy way!! :D But then we cleaned the laundry room because the elders left it REALLY dirty! We felt productive!! Haha!</span></span></div>

After lunch we went on a visit with the Elders and then to the office so they could do the transfers.....and yes we had to wait for our District leader to call to recieve our transfers....and I will be staying HERE! haha Actually at the last minute President Reber changed his mind and moved me to open Cuiabá C. We actually heard the assistants freaking out about it haha and then they opened the door and asked if we heard anything haha. Sister Huayhuas will stay in Cáceres and train and I will stay HERE in the same house that we are already staying and I will train.

So he told me to buy some medicine and put an IV in my hand (because once again the vein in my arm busted when they tried there) to rehydrate me. So now all will be well :)</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><strong>Monday</strong>- So when we got home we spent the rest of the night washing clothes. :/ But we managed to wash them all!!! But then it started raining...... :( SO my brilliant companion grabbed our plastic bags and we cut them open and made a tarp to put over the clothes so they could dry!!!!! Haha it worked!! :)</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><strong>Tuesday</strong>- So it kept raining today so I grabbed my rain boots and coat and off we went to lunch!! It was a brilliant idea on my part! The road was SUPER muddy! But then after lunch we ran home grabbed an over night bag and got on a bus for Cuiabá!! We got there about <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1395114227_0">6pm</span> and went to the mission office and stayed there until 8pm when Sisters Carbalho and Ribero got there and then we all got in a member's car and went to another sister's house in Morada da Serra (that's in cuiabá). 8 sisters ended up sleeping there!!! Haha and only 1 bathroom!! Then 2 sisters took showers and then we ran out of water!! :( So I took a bath using water in a bucket!! Haha! It was an adventure!!!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><strong>Wednesday</strong>- We had our sister conference, it was really cool!! :) All of the sisters in the North got together in Cuiabá and had like a district meeting. We had trainings and then lunch. :) After that we got to ride with President and Sister Reber in their car to Cáceres! :) It was fun. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><strong>Thursday</strong>- So we had our interviews with President Reber....I just feel so re-energized after talking to him! :) Then after lunch we went to our appointment but when we got there she said that something came up and she didn't have time today... :/ Then we had seminary and then we went and visited with Rubens.....</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><strong>Friday</strong>- So after lunch we tried to find a house of a new investigator BUT she didn't know the address.....just directions.....we couldn't find it... :/ we even called her but she didn't answer. :( So we went to the church and had our weekly planning....and then I started sneezing a lot and feeling sick....so we went home after. And all night I was SO HOT but Sister Huayhuas said that my body was cold.....it was really strange...I felt so hot that even with the air conditioner on I had to have a fan blowing on me so I could sleep.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><strong>Saturday</strong>- I spent all day in bed sleeping and drinking lots of water!! But that night the elders had a baptism so I got up my strength and we went...its good that we did because it was a last minute baptism and no one of the members knew.....just the branch pres. and one of his counselors!!! But the walk from our house to the church (15/30 minutes) at night I was SO tired afterwards and sweating like I ran!!! It was sad. :( But we went home afterwards and I went back to sleep!!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><strong>Sunday</strong>- I felt SO much better!! We went to church and then after lunch we had an address from the branch of a member that is inactive but no one knows if she was still living there so off we went on the search......the address doesn't exist! :( But we managed to do a few contacts and mark 2 baptismal dates!! :D So it wasn't a wasted day!! Then the elders called and said that we have to go to Cuiabá Monday afternoon for a Zone meeting Tuesday! :/</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><strong>Saturday</strong>- So we were looking through some papers we found and we found a phone number to a girl that wasn't ever baptized but her parents are members. So we called and her dad, Walter, answered and told us that she doesn't live with him anymore and we started talking and he said that he lives in a city that doesn't have the church. But that he really wants missionaries there so that they can have the gospel. He told us that he just knows that if President Reber would let missionaries there just for 1 day that they would find a lot of people to teach. He also told us that on the 11th and 12th he will be here in Cáceres and asked if we could give him some Book of Mormons to give away! So we are going to try and meet with him and give him some and also the Restoration video and Finding Faith in Christ and Joy to the World. :) And I called President and talked to him about this city and he wants to talk to Walter!! :) </span></span></div>

And as we were walking we passed this car that had a tire stuck in one of those sidewalk drains with out a lid. We slowed down and the owner walked out of a nearby house with a big piece of wood. So we stopped and asked if he needed help. He told us that he didn't want us to get wet, but we quickly put down our umbrellas put our bags in them and went to help. After lots of work, and the help of 2 other men that stopped to help, we manage to raise the tire enough that the car started to roll right out of the hole! When it was done the man was so grateful and we started talking to him and we said that we were missionaries and he said "I just knew that you were people of God because only true followers would have stopped to help me." It was a really great when he said that! :) Then he and his niece offered to give us a ride to the church and then they gave us corn!! :D But when we got to the church and he left we realized that Wednesday night we left the keys to the church IN the church......</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><strong>Tuesday</strong>- After lunch we went with Ruth (she is an american who is here to get her fiance and return to the states with him to get married....her brother served there...Elder Turner from Washington state....) to do some visits. First we visited a referral from Cristiana (an inactive member) named Rosalina. It went well but she doesn't like to leave her house so she won't go to church.....so we testified and gave her a Book of Mormon. Then we left and went to Cristana's house (she lives next door to this lady haha) and talked a bit with her and then we dropped Ruth off at her house and then we went and taught Seminary!! Haha yeah we are the seminary teachers until they can't call someone haha but its better because their Seminary is at night! </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><strong>Thursday</strong>- We visited with a referral form a member named Jaqualine...she is 7.

<br /><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Wednesday</strong>- So my shoes ripped.....so we went to a shoe repaire man and he fixed them right up!! We had had a family night far away after that but it was really great!! There was a lot of nonmembers there and we had a lesson/actividade.....it was about following the Holy Ghost! But then when we got home Sister Martinez went to the bathroom and then I heard he calling my name so I went over there and she was on the floor! Apparently her blood pressure dropped so much that she couldn't stay standing up!! So I quickly got her some water and had her eat some apple she then was able to get up and went to her bed she then told me that she has low blood pressure...but wow! It was crazy!! </span></span></div>
<div class="yiv1052034045gmail_default" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1390275192945_1908" style="font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif;">

She wants to be baptized but we don't have a way for her to get to church!! :( But we will do what we can!! Then Jussara called and asked us to help her so we went to her house! Then when we got home we planned and then Sister Martinez went to take a shower, after a bit I heard her calling me so I went over there and she was in the door way and told me to look in the shower....I did and there was a scorpion! Now we have already found 2 dead in the house but this one was alive!! So when he started moving we screamed and shut the door and ran for our room and called Elder Duncan our LD....he then explained to us how to safely kill a scorpion. So I grabbed a water hose and Sister grabbed a broom and metal dustpan and I threw water on him to stun him and then she started hitting with a broom and this whole time we are like screaming and Elder was on speaker phone listening haha then after a bit he started moving again so I grabbed the dustpan and started wacking!!! He died after that. But then we were acared to use that shopwer so we went to the other bathroom in our room but I left my shower stuff so I went back out and I saw a male scorpion in our doorway!!! But we scared him and he went away but he was so close to getting in...so we called Elder Duncan again adn he called president and told him our situation and president let us sleep at a member's house until we get rid of the scorpions. But no one answerewd their phones so we slept very badly with lots of fear...</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #ead1dc;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Saturday</strong>- After lunch we went to the church and helped clean and an 8 yr old girl was going to be baptized so we had to clean the font....but the door was locked so we had a great idea.....we dropped a chair in the font and then Sister Martinez climbed down to the chair and then into the font and then she handed me the chair and started cleaning and then she turned on the font and then we started thinking about how she could get out without having to put the chair in the font again because then we wouldn't be able to get it out.... she she climbed on the stairs and then stretched out to the other side of the font and I grabbed her arm and pulled her over, haha it was SO funny!! But then she had to get back in to finish the last part of cleaning and then Jussara and her husband, Elton, came to help us clean the rest of the church and so Elton reached in and pulled her out again haha!!! Then we had the baptism, it was really cute!! :) Her dad got to baptize her...its been a while since I've seen that!! </span></span></div>

But she doesn't want to repent and forgive....so we can't help her. Its really sad. :/ But after that we went to Kelson's house and had a birthday party for his daughter, Nicole. We stayed there until 11:30! We got home super tired but we couldn't really sleep because we had to wait for Ediliane and her family to get home because we had to deactivate the alarm for them.....the ended up getting home at 12:30. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Saturday</strong>- We went to visit this referral we got named João Henrique. When we got to his house he wasn't there but his mom was. So we started talking to her and he told us that her daughter died 8 days ago in a tragic motorcycle accident. She was riding on the back of the motorcycle with out a helmet with a drunk man driving and he ran a red light and they got hit by a bus.....she was killed instantly. She was 21 and has 2 little boys. Its so sad. But when we were talking to her she asked us the name of our church and we told her and she said "Mormons?" When we said yes she look at us for a moment and said that before her daughter died she gave her a birthday present and part of it was a Book of Mormon. So we asked to see it and when we opened it it had Sister Gonçalves signature in it. We were really stunned because we gave that book to a drunk man in the park when he would leave us alone. Apparently he gave that book to her daughter and her daughter gave it to her. Amazing right! And she already believes in a lot of the doctrines that we teach....we are still in shock and amazement at how obvious it is to see heavenly Father's plan here. And turns out that the Elder that gave this referral actually got it from member and he actually visited the wrong house and gave the wrong João......look at that heavenly plan!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"><strong>Tuesday</strong>- CHRISTMAS CONFERENCE!!! :D It was soo much fun!! We started out with a short training about using the Book of Mormon and the importance of our investigators having a testimony of the BoM. Then we recited our scriptures(I read D&C 121:7 in Portuguese it reads "Meu filho, paz seja tua alma. Teu adversidade e teus aflições não durão mais de que um momento." in English "My son, peace be unto your soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment.") after that we gave the pictures of our baptisms and they put them on the wall and then we did our skits! It was super fun!! After that we went to the restaurant next door and had lunch! When we finally got home it was late so we updated our area book. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"><strong>Wednesday</strong>- We had a split today. Sister Gonçalves went to Coxipo with Sister Carvalho and I stayed here with Sister Clark(she is from Idaho). It was great! We taught this lady who owns an ice cream shop (yes I bought ice cream too ;) ). Her name is Demaris. It was an awesome lesson!! We previously gave her a Book of Mormon and she said that she tried to read but she needs glasses but her husband is reading it!! We are really excited!! </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"><strong>Thursday</strong>- We did our weekly planning and then we visited a new investigator and we met her "husband" (I use " " because they really aren't married legally....) and her friend who lives there and her "husband". It was cool but she works at a grocery store called Bom Jesus and with Christmas her hours are crazy so its going to be hard to visit with her....but she seems interested....then when we got home Edilaine gave us a chocolate chip Panetone!! ITS SO GOOD!! :)</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"><strong>Friday</strong>- 9 MONTHS!!!!! :D We celebrated by doing contacts!!! It was actually really awesome! We found this family (who are legally married!!!!!) and they are pretty interested in learning!! So we just talked with them and answered their questions and we will go back later and actually teach them!! Their names are Jairo and Kélyce (Kelsey) and they have two daughters! We also got a referral a from the Stake President whose name is Maria das Dores (or Dora) so we went and visited her and she is super awesome and already loves the church and the book of mormon but she isn't baptized yet because her husband needs some help accepting the church. So we've got some work to do!! </span></span></div>

They started out with a christmas spiritual message and then we ate!</span></span></div>

<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="background-color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Wednesday</b>- We went to another neighborhood in search of these young men and found a woman named Dalva. She is super awesome and agreed to be baptized!! :D But we have some work to do with her because she doesn't want to be baptized without her husband but he is never home.... :/ So we're prayin' and doing all we can! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Friday</b>- So we tried to have lessons today but on one was home!!! :( But we found 1 inactive young man named Eduardo. It was good to visit with him, I hope he comes back. He needs the good influence of the church....he has already been to juvie....but after that we went to visit Luci-mar and Jeanny and we ended up staying there for a while and washed her dishes so Jeanny could take care of the baby and Luci-mar take care of them both. But we did get 8 contacts in today! :D</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #b4a7d6;"><b>Saturday</b>-We went to the end of the world today.... xP To walk there its like 3 hours. The neighborhood is called Unipark. But it was longer today because we went to another place first adn didn't know how to get there so logically we got lost and went the long way....but we finally found it!!

Rita needs to get married first but she wants to be baptized. THat is actually the biggest problem here.....no one get married. They just live 50 yrs together and call it marriage! But it is actually expencive to get married. Its like R$248.....($107.18) and the day you pay it all you have to wait 35 days and then you can get married on the first friday or saturday. 0.o Its crazy here! </span></div>

They have 2 daughters and a son! They are super awesome!! We actually stayed talking to them for 2 hours......but it turned out to be a great blessing because they already trust us and we know better what they need and how to work with them! We are so excited to visit with them again!! :) We then went to do contacts with a member and that turned out to be a waste of time....because she was scared to talk and she brought her boyfriend with her....who is leaving soon for a mission.....it was complicated...</span></span></span></div>

It was an all day thing but it was great!!</span></span></span></div>

It was GREAT!! I learned a lot and it was fun! Elder Gavarret was the area 70 there! He's awesome! We didn't get a chance to take pictures because a lot of people had to catch the bus but Sister Reber took pictures of every one's zone so she should post them on her blog one of these days.... :)</span></span></span></div>

They are really sweet and Josiane told us that her door is always open to us...lets just hope that her heart is too!! ;)</span></span></span></div>

It was good to talk to her and we are hoping that we can help her get back to church!! She has been inactive for 8 months. :( We then went to the church for a baby shower. We actually were in charge of the activity....so we drew little people and hid them in the church and had the ladies find them and who ever found the family that matched Eliliane's family (only a mom, dad and a baby) won. So we made little certificates that said "Worlds Greatest Mom for finding an eternal family" (but if they weren't a mom yet we gave her on that said in the future). And we read <strong>Alma 56:47</strong> with them; </span></span></span></div>

The only problem with Danilo now is we are thinking that he is using again. Its really sad. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Wednesday</strong>- So today we got this member, Erica(who is preparing to serve a mission), and we went to this place.....its like a park but there isn't really any grass or toys for kids to play on.....BUT we went there and we did contacts and passed out BoMs and pamphlets about the restoration and Gospel of Christ and the plan of salvation. We left with 12 addresses and 7 lessons!! </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Thursday</strong>- We did weekly planning and then visited with this new investigator, Isabel, and her family. Turns out that she has a daughter who lives in Spain and found the Elders there but never had time to visit with them because she was coming here. At the same time in Brazil her mom told us to come back the next week because her daughter would be here!! It was so destiny for her to talk with the missionaries!! So we taught her the 1st lesson and we will teach her as much as we can before she goes back to Spain and then we will let the elders there know where to find her and what is need to get baptized!! :)</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Friday</strong>- So today we had one of the best lessons!! We found this lady Wednesday and she really wanted us to visit and so we did today and turns out she is like Joseph Smith!!! Really confused about which church to join!! So when we were teaching her we focused more on Joseph and compared him to her. It was so spiritual that Sister Gonçalves cried....and then Luciana did too!! </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Saturday</strong>- We visited with an inactive member, Palmira. It actually took us a little over an hour to find this lady's road. It was SUPER frustrating!!! We almost quit but we were so mad that the anger actually gave us the determination to find the road. Then it started raining. And we left our umbrellas at home. So we were angry, tired, and wet. BUT then we found it!! So we talked with her and then left for our other appointment....which fell through...so we went with plan B. His name is Paulo and he is a pastor....BUT he was sleeping because he prayed all night long....so we talked with his "friend" who is a missionary for ANOTHER church but is staying with Paulo. So we talked with him and gave him a BoM. It was actually good. He really liked when we quoted the bible and I knew the reference correctly. ;) Thank you seminary!! </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Sunday</strong>- We helped Luci-Mar work on her family tree on familysearch it was great!! I really love family history!! We then had a ward council meeting and then we were doing contacts after and we met this kid named Elder.....yeah seriously his name is legally Elder and no he isn't a member...yet. ;) But him and his family are super great!! We are really excited to teach them!! They already agreed to go to church Sunday!! We then needed one more lesson with a member so we went home and called an ex-investigator, Adrielle. And we just talked a bit with her and then we passed the phone to João Pedro(he is a member of another ward but his girlfriend lives in the house in front of ours) and he started talking a bit with her and then he just marked her to be baptized this next Sunday!!!! :o So lets see next week what will happen!! :)</span></span><br />

(For those who don't remember her she is an inactive member whose kids want to be baptized but their dad won't let them and won't let her or the kids go to church.) It was a good visit we were hoping he would be there so we could talk to him and see why he won't let them go to church. But he left before we got there. :/ We then visited with a new investigator, Mari Leide. She is the daughter of Maria dos Anjos and has a brother who is a member in another city. After talking with her a while she actually agreed to be baptized on 12/8!!</span></span><br />

<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1385402743213_1656">
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Tuesday</strong>- So today Sister Gonçalves woke up sick with a sore throat and a slight fever so we stayed home which was good because we got a call that night saying that we will be moving the next day to a better house that is behind a members house!! So we packed up our stuff!! We then got a call from Luci-mar saying that Jeanny(her pregnant daughter) fell on her belly and is now in the hospital. <span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1385402743213_1729" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">What happened was <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1385402750_0">Monday night</span> the police went to the bar by their house and started shooting (apparently this is common.......) so Jeanny and Luci-Mar started running to get inside the house and Jeanny fell and landed on her belly. So as soon as it was safe they got Luciano(Luci-mar's son because Luci-mar doesn't know how to drive) and got the neighbor's car (because Luci-mar's husband drove the car to work) and drove her to the hospital where they realized that she has been losing the fluid that protects the baby and he can only stay in her belly for a maximum of 4 more days.</span> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Wednesday</strong>- So we moved today to the new house!! IT IS GREAT!! Its perfect for missionaries!! Its small but has everything we need!! Only problem is our We got a call from an inactive member that we don't know who said that she has a neighbor that needs us and for us to come to her house the next night to visit with him. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Thursday</strong>-So we went to the inactive member(Eunézi)'s house and turns out that this kid's name is Danilo and he is 21 and he has been snorting crack since he was 13 and wants to stop. So the only thing I could think of to help him was the technique in the missionaries and members book, commitment to Christ to stop smoking. So we tried it out! We sang a hymn and then just talked to him about the love our father in heaven and Jesus Christ have for him and committed him to stop for 24hrs and we would visit him the next day. We also gave him the photo of Christ in the gospel of Christ pamphlet and told him that every time he had a desire to smoke just look at the picture and remember the love our savior has for him and if that isn't enough to call us and we can help him through the urge. We later learned that he did just that-minus the calling part. His mother told Eunézi that all night long he was looking at the picture then praying and repeating until he could finally go to sleep. <span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1385402743213_1820" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">And Jeanny had a c-section today and took baby Matheus out. He was born 3 weeks early but he is healthy and fine....just small. Like none of his clothes fit him right. :)</span></span></span></div>
