Dear Family
and Friends,
It was an
incredible week! I stayed in a trio Monday- Wednesday waiting for my companion
to arrive. She arrived late Wednesday night :) Sister G. Cardoso (mini
missionary that is a member here in Belem). We started working right away. When
I spoke with the zone leaders about the division of our area and training my
comp, he replied "it is up to you, do what you think is best with
everything". That stressed me out a bit, but through prayer and working
hard, everything started to fall into place and I was feeling better. I have
learned here in the mission field that whenever we start feeling comfortable
the Lord throws another challenge our way to help us grow. He did just that
with me. On Thursday my zone leader called and said " Sister Sender I have
some news for you". My first thought was "oh no who died..." He
then said "The Lord has another calling ahead of you... you have been
called to be District leader over the sisters in our Zone". I did not see
that one coming. I have started praying even more than ever and after a few
stressful days, I know and have faith that the Lord will qualify me for this
responsibility. We have a huge work to do here in Castanhal and I am excited to
serve even more than I ever thought possible.
I have
learned that this gospel is the only way to feel perfect love. We have the
complete gospel restored here on the earth and we each have the responsibility
to share this wonderful message. Here in Castanhal the people are so accepting!
My area is huge, but the people are so humble and willing to make sacrifices
for the Lord. We are doing street contacts all the time and I am just shocked
at how ready these people are to hear our message. My love for them and this
gospel grows daily. I can’t wait to share so many incredible stories with you
all, but my time is even shorter now than ever. Please just know that I know
our savior lives. He loves each of us and will never leave us comfortless. I
would not be able to accomplish everything he has placed before me if it were
not for my Savior Jesus Christ. He is perfect, but he loves us in our
imperfection.
I love you
each!! Have a wonderful week :)
Love always,
Sister Sender
