Never, Ever, Ever Give Up!



 Yeah!!! This week, everything I learned can be summed up in 4 scripture stories I read this morning:

The adversary wants to kick our behinds, but that can´t stop us. I became rather confused this week wondering if the problems we´ve been having in our area are because of something I´m doing wrong or simply opposition. I´ve become really confused wondering where the promised blessings were gonna come in bc everything we do seems to crumble at the last moment. This has been happening week after week, and I finally kinda hit the end of the rope. I´m tired. 
 
BUT the fight´s not over!!!! I received a priesthood blessing last night (the priesthood power is real!), and Heavenly Father reminded me that the Spirit is ALWAYS by my side (which means this isn´t because I´ve been doing things wrong) and that I just need to remember the JOY that comes in this work!!! He will comfort us! The gospel is true, and we´re on the winning side. I love all these people so much, and I want DESPERATELY that they be on this side as well (so prayers for everyone we had to cut...and everyone else who rejected us without a chance). 

So keep on moving forward. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the same church that Christ established when He was on the Earth. I know that this is the only organization that has the priesthood authority to seal families for all eternity. This is the promise I hold most dearly-to be able to one day live with my Heavenly Father, my Savior and my family one day. Ten months away from my family has helped me realize more than ever, how precious they are. I will NEVER stop working to have this promise fulfilled! 

I love you all and never, ever, ever give up!
 
 
 
A fruit that I ate. I have NO idea what it is. I found it in the fridge when I was transferred. It kinda tastes like kiwi......
 

This scripture made me laugh!!!!!!!! It sounds like Armadillo with a southern accent!!!!!!! SO I drew an armadillo that is stuck in my scripture til today! 
 
 
This is a mural thing we made to help motivate a couple to get married so that they can help their daughters come unto Christ and so that they can have a family eternal! I´m actually super proud of this thing bc we have only pass-along cards and Liahonas in our house!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It´s just so beautiful! I feel the Spirit muito in this place!
 
 
 Yes, I´m holding a chicken!!!!! And that´s Giovanna at my side! Love that little girly! She is so sweet and SUPER mature for a 10 year old (but what can you expect with Davi and Arlete raising you! ;D)
 
 
 Yeah....I think I have 4 socks like that now! (some have two holes becuase I switched it around partway through the day when the hole became too much of a prob!) Haha!!


I TAPED EM!!!!!!!! .....but that only lasted one day....I need duct tape.....
 
 
Mayck got baptized!!!! He was one of my investigators in Louveira!!!! It´s super great that they have to come to our chapel to be baptized! I got to see Aline´s baptism yesterday as well! SUPER HAPPY FOR THEM!!!!!! It´s INCREDIBLE the light they have after being baptized! It´s almost TANGIBLE! THE GOSPEL IS TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEE
