TCHAU TCHAU CIDADE NOVA!! OI OI COL. ALEIXO!!!

WOOOHOOO!!!! Happy transfer day everyone!!!

SO it’s true, after 3 transfers in the wonderful Cidade Nova I will now be serving in Col. Aleixo!!! It’s still in Manaus but in a more ghetto part!! Ha-ha but don’t worry Mom, we will be safe!!! My new companion is soooo cool!! Her name is Sister Pina!! And she’s from CAPO VERGE!!! She’s from AFRICA!!!!!! How cool is that??!! Yeah like what the heck I now have a friend that lives in Africa!!!

Well anyways... it was super sad to say goodbye to my area!! I love my zone and all the members in the ward. My companion, Sister Jacinto will be training a newbie!! I’m so excited for her. She’s going to be a great trainer!!! It was super sad to say goodbye to her!!! Seriously she is one of my best friends!! But it’ll be good to get to know a new area and help more people!!!

This area is new to me and Sister Pina, they had elders here before us... so everything is new for the both of us!! The elders didn’t have very many investigators... so our job right now is to find a bunch of new people to teach!! It’ll be so fun!!! :) Also our house is a little special... so the president of the mission said we have to move... so we will be moving in the coming weeks!!! Ha-ha woo!!! I’m super stoked!!! So yeah not much to say for this week!! I’m super excited to get to know this area and the members!!! It’ll be great!!!

Scripture of the week! Helamã 5:12 E agora, meus filhos, lembrai-vos, lembrai-vos de que é sobre a rocha de nosso Redentor, que é Cristo, o Filho de Deus, que deveis construir os vossos alicerces; para que, quando o diabo lançar a fúria de seus ventos, sim, seus dardos no torvelinho, sim, quando todo o seu granizo e violenta tempestade vos açoitarem, isso não tenha poder para vos arrastar ao abismo da miséria e angústia sem fim, por causa da rocha sobre a qual estais edificados, que é um alicerce seguro; e se os homens edificarem sobre esse alicerce, não cairão.

TRANSLATION: Helaman 5:12 – ‘And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.’
