Olá, tudo bem?? There is my little Portuguese for the week if that doesn't show you how crazy my week was I don't know what will! Haha! This week there were some really big struggles with the sisters we live with so we have been working in the Spanish and Portuguese area! It's crazy because I can pretty much understand everything my speaking is not so good haha. This week was a grind we found so many people and got some really awesome friends on date! Mentally this week was a hard one. My companion doesn't speak any Spanish so it's only me that teaches. I felt like a chicken with my head cut off most of the week. So many friends missionaries and members that need our help but I was struggling to keep going myself. I felt like I was sprinting and not getting anywhere. It was frustrating. Many times during the week I wondered how in the world I can do this for 75 more days! Then to add to it I got asked to speak in sacrament haha. Don't worry I survived.  Fun fact...

Happy Tuesday! Here is a quick update for yall!  This week was super CRAZY! We were able to find lots of people and help them understand the importance of coming to church which was super cool! We had 17 friends show up to church! It was so caotic but so so good! Also my old high school teacher showed up to our ward with His family. Small world moment. It was good to talk about Box Elder sports for a little bit haha. He hyped up my basketball skills so the memebers think im so good and want to watch me play. They would be very dissapointed lol good thing transfers are this week ;) Also this week the members were so fun and sweet. They took us to super expensice resturants painted a BoM for me and brought their friends to church. I have grown to love this ward and im afraid this is a sign that im going to leave next transfer. We will find out later tonight though!  This week I stufied Long-suffering and something that stood out to me was this scripture.  Mormon 2:12 12 And...

Hey yall! Hope it was a good week. This week was pretty normal here in Miami. We worked really hard to find people who were prepared. We receive around 80 referrals every week which is CRAZY! But a struggle has been that they often dont live in our area or they dont really progress. We are finding so many people each week but helping them see the importance of the gospel has been a struggle.  So this week I decided to be BOLD with our friends. I dedicated my efforts into truly helping them understand the importance of the gospel. Instead of inviting them to church snd sharing a brief testimony I related it to them personally and promised them blessing according to their needs and this truly blesses our area. We had 11 friends at church! It was so so cool to see. This was a powerful reminder to me that Jesus Christ is our PERSONAL SAVIOR! The gospel can be as peronal as we make it.  This week I also decided to let my comp shiw me the argentinian life style. I had empanadas 4 ti...
