Hello Family and
friends!
Another week down and
the time is flying by! This week was a week full of learning experiences. In my
mission I have learned that obedience brings miracles. I have strived to follow
every rule and do everything in my power to be a good example and missionary. I
know that because of this, miracles are coming.
We had two baptisms this
week. A 18 year old named Vinicius who is incredible and a 17 year old young
woman that the other sisters taught. The spirit in the meeting was incredible.
In moments like this make struggles in my mission worth every minute. Our
purpose as missionaries is to invite others to come unto Christ. As I have been
teaching people about our Savior Jesus Christ, I have felt very close to my
Savior. Life is hard, and my mission has been difficult, but I know that I am
not alone. The Savior knows our hearts and he knows our desires, and when we
are patient blessings and help will come. I read this quote this morning and
love love love it! "Life is full of difficulties, some minor and others of
a more serious nature. There seems to be an unending supply of challenges for
one and all. Our problem is that we often expect instantaneous solutions to
such challenges, forgetting that frequently the heavenly virtue of patience is
required." -President Thomas S. Monson
This is very true. I
know that through patience we grow immensely and that the Lord works through
patience. I love this work and love Brazil. I am grateful for the opportunity I
have to serve my Father in Heaven. i am sacrificing time with my family so that
others can live with theirs for eternity.
Have a wonderful week!
Love Always,
Sister Sender
PS: cultural things
1) Wedding rings are a
simple gold bands placed on the right hand and engagement rings are silver and
placed on the right hand
2) milk here is powder
because liquid is very expensive
3) we store sugar and all types of food in the
fridge because ants get into everything
