  Things here are so good. transfers are today. I’m staying here in feira and I’m going to be senior to another American! they are opening a new area in petrolina(where I was) and I really really really wanted to go back but I’m staying here. I know the lord has something  in store for me.

conference was super good! we were able to watch in english! we had a nonmember go Saturday and a diff one on Sunday! I loved conference!! we were able to watch all of it!!! it’s been ridiculously hot here! I woke up in the middle of the night in a pool of sweat n I was still sweating! also I was itching, we have mosquitos here too and when its hotter there’s more mosquitoes!

I got a blessing the other night for this(again! because I can’t sleep) but it’s incredible, I LOVE the priesthood! he talked about every little think I was thinking and feeling. it really is a blessing to have the priesthood in my life! tell the young men there that they always need to honor the priesthood! I was talking with a member here and he said that the priesthood isn’t his, he doesn’t have the power of the priesthood. the power is Gods and he is only distributing the gift of the power of God and HF can take it away whenever he wants! I really liked that!
I don’t really know what to say. I’ve been super tired. I don’t know who said it but he was talking that the spirit is willing but the body is weak. I totally feel like that! if I could mama id work 24/7 and never sleep....basically I do that anyways haha.

       I liked the elder who spoke that it isn’t missionary work, its missionary fun haha i liked that a lot!!!
oh spiritual experience! we go to a diff city every Thursday(santa estevao) and well we were there last Thursday and walking by we were going to the rodoviaria to leave and we walked by a church and saw a lil girl sitting there with a pamphlet of the restoration! I said hey I have one of those too! we ended up talking to her and her mom...mama it’s a miracle! I contacted her husband over 2 months ago!!! he’s reading the LDM and loves it. He was at work but it’s so crazy! her sister lives in petrolina, they lived in the same area I was living in when I was there. The little girl told me that she saw me in petrolina 4months ago!! it’s not a coincidence I ran into them!!! I know the lord is really preparing people for us!
    I’m so grateful to be a missionary, I love every minute of it. I’m sweating like a pig right now but I love it!
I know that the Lord is real, I know that He lives. I know that He knows each and every one of us individually. I know that he hears every single prayer. I know that Jesus Christ is the son of god. a lot of talks talked about the restoration and what God said "this is my beloved son, hear him" I know that they live. I know that Christ did what no man could, he beat Satan and he died and lived again! There doesn’t exist power greater than this! I am so grateful to know this and so grateful to have had experiences here!

thanks for the support!!!
love sis b!!
