This week was pretty good. I was a little sick, but we were still able to get out every day. We invited a few of our friends to be baptized so if you guys could pray for Lidiane and Edson that would be awesome.  I would like to share a scripture I found when studying this week. Alma 32:27 "But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words." I know that faith is really important and as we do the small thing to exercise our faith we will be blessed and receive a greater knowledge. I invite you all to do something this week to exercise your faith.  Hope you all have a wonderful week.

Weeding

This week was pretty short so not a lot happened. We got to weed someone’s backyard. I got to meet the members at church on Sunday. It was super different because there weren't that many people there, but the spirit was still super strong. We had some friends at church which was awesome. For my spiritual thought I attached a video of Elder Holland that I really liked.  (Video linked here)   You should all watch it. When we try our best to keep the commandments we will be blessed and happier. Hope you all are doing well.

New Year in Araxá

Happy New Year!!! This week was pretty crazy. We had the baptism of our friend Amauri on Sunday. I finally left Tibery after 7 months. It was pretty sad to leave because I have so many friends there, but I'm super excited for my new area and have lots of energy to work now.  I got transferred to a city called Araxá. There is only a small branch in the city and there are 4 missionaries taking care of the entire city. It's nice though because it is a small, chill city. My companion is an American named Elder Dewey. This is his second transfer so I'll get to finish his training. He was in a trio last transfer so now we will get to focus on our area and the people we are teaching. P-day was today so I haven't got to meet the members or go to church here yet. I literally traveled here yesterday morning.  I would like to share a quote I love from a talk given by Elder Eyring. It is called "This Day". "There is a danger in the word someday when what it means is ...
