Sister Pereira only knows like two phrases in English and it is either WHAT? or HELLO PEOPLE! Not sure why? MAS we love it!
We
had the baptism of my favorite person in the whole world this week!
(desculpnãodesculp) MAGALI! She is probably the coolest person on the
planet. Sister Fuller and I found her in the area book and pretty much
our first visit knew she was perfect. I have the gift of discernment,
na?? But in all seriousness. On Sunday after the baptism she was given
the gift of the Holy Ghost and she was STOKED. She sat next to me for
sacrament and started to get all nervous! After I was like- Você sente
muito bom? She was like no, better, MARVILHOSA! Soooo... I think God
might let me into heaven just for finding her. JOKE. We all know God
found her, we were the ones who were lost!
Hmmm other than Magali our week was um poco CRAY. We
don't have electricity today? Not sure why? So I showered in LITERALLY
the coldest water of my life. I felt like Jack in the Titanic. I tried
to explain to my companion the phrase FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS, but turns
out that doesn't translate well. She was like- you don't have problems?
Then she called me DOIDA (a crazy person?)... Minha vida.
We had a ward activity for missionary work and
afterwards we "GOD SQUADED" this guy... Sister Armstrong and I could not
stop laughing. When you have more than one set of missionaries
testifying that Jesus Christ has a church here on the earth again- you
have to join right? We will wait and see with that one. But after, as
Sister Sares and I were leaving we started talking to this woman Dyena.
She is part of a church that... well... doesn't like us much? So after
she said that I decided to become friends a little first so she would
HAVE to listen to our message? So after the normal guessing game of
where I am from and how many filhos (children) I have, she is like- so
what is different about your church? Is it different? BOOM. We taught
her about the authority of God right there in the street (Slipping her
daughter cookies to stay quiet- JOKING... Not.) And she is maybe the
first person my whole mission to say- So then we don't have the authority
of God? None of the churches had the authority of God! Exactamente. So
we are visiting her today. Obviously. Ill keep you updated!
MILAGRES!
Eu amo vocês MUITO!
Sister Haley K. Mills!
PS
Tell Sister De Paula that people are starting to think I've been here
for almost a year? Good sign right? But I still wont write her in
Portuguese. DESCULPNÃODESCULP!
