I LOVE SISTER JACINTO!!!!!

Wooohooo this week was great!!!! I LOVE my new companion! She’s so much fun! We get along so great!!! She’s from Sao Paulo and has 11 months on the mish!!! She’s super fun and exciting and we just laugh all day together! I’m so grateful for her and I just love her so much!!!

This week was great!!! It started out with a devotional with Elder COOK!!! Woot woot!!! Foi muito muito bom! He’s awesome!! The spirit was so strong, and as he was leaving the whole mission stood up and started singing our mission song! Holy moly it was sooooooooo awesome! I never want to go home!!!!! (just kidding Mom I’ll come home eventually) ha-ha but really, I’m so lucky to be serving in the best mission in the world!!!

We worked with a lot of our investigators this week, we’re working with them to have more of a desire to get married, we’re getting there with one of the families but it’s tough. We’re planning on giving them a tour of the temple to help them feel the spirit and have more of a desire!!! Also we’re working with an older man, 80 years old, he loves when we visit and Sunday he visited church!!! We were so excited! Also turns out one of his friends is a member so he really enjoyed his time at church!!!

We’re also working with this 15 year old boy who knows everything about the church and has been coming to church forever!! We started teaching him and he'll be baptized in the coming weeks! I’m super excited for him! I feel like I’ve know him forever! He’s a great kid!!!

Oh, and Anderson is doing great he’s going to receive the priesthood next week! I’m so excited for him! He also bore his testimony in sacrament meeting! Holy moly that kid’s on fire and he’s going to be an amazing missionary one day!!!

So we’re planning some super fun activities for our ward so we can have new people to teach! The ward seems pretty excited about them so that’s awesome!!! Everyone at home give references to the missionaries!!! No one knows who is ready to hear the gospel!!! Invite everyone!!! Who knows!? One of your friends could be ready right now to receive the missionaries!! Give them the names and addresses of all your friends and let them work their magic!! Ha-ha no, we don’t have magic, we have the spirit! It’s way better!!! Hahaha :)
