Subject: The One With Tye Dye

Oi gente! Como vai?? This week was jam packed of so many things! We love when that happens ;) Not only that but it was the 24th! I hate to say it but most of the missionaries here in the MBM are from Utah so it was still a big deal all the way out here in Rhode Island ;) We had so many tender mercies and miracles happen this week too, just another testament that this truly is the Lord's work! Alright this week's is linger so just bear with me :)

-We had district pday! We played some intense games of chair soccer and ate some Mexican food that was too good! 
-Sister Parrish and I tye dyed some shirts to really get into the summer time vibes out here in Rhode Island 
-This week we left early for service and instead of going in early we really tested our português knowledge with a test from the CTM haha! 
- We had a super amazing lesson with our stellar friend Helmer! God really does prepare people for this work :) 
- We've been going to parks and the roof of our apartment complex a LOT for our finding efforts and it's been so nice to get out but man does the humidity make my hair a frizz ball! 
- We had exchanges this week! The STL's got to come from Boston to Rhode Island this time and we had a blast! Sister Potter and I had a killer gospel conversation over an even killer game of ping pong ;) 
- Helmer and CiCi both came to church! Woot woot! We had such a good sacrament turnout this week! I also had to give a talk yesterday and it was more people than I expected haha! But hey, I'll take it if that means people are coming to church 

Spiritual Thought 
This week I've studied so many things thanks to having to prepare a talk haha! While I was studying one of the things that really stuck with me all week was this quote from Elder José A. Teixeira, "A fúria dos ventos e das tempestades de Satanás nos açoitam hoje, mas não terão poder para nos arrastar ao abismo se depositarmos nossa confiança no lugar mais seguro — em nosso Redentor." And now again in English haha! It's way simpler in Português though ;) "Satan’s mighty winds and storms are beating upon us, but they will have no power to drag us down if we put our trust in the safest place—in our Redeemer." I just LOVE this quote! The Saviors arms have always been open, He has never closed them to us, to anyone. He is our safe place and we must turn to Him and trust in Him if we even want a fighting chance against Satan. 

You did it! You made it through another email from Sister Garcia haha! Vocês são incríveis! I hope you all have the best week and are enjoying the last little bit of summer! It's going by so fast! Go out and do something fun for me, maybe just go swimming because I can't haha! ;) I hope you have the best week! 
Amo vocês! 

Beijos! 
-Sister Garcia

Mom's Talk: Sunday, July 10, 2022

Good morning Brothers and Sisters. I am excited to be here with you this morning. Not because I up here speaking but because we are here to listen to Kaitlyn report on her mission which means she is actually home! Thank you all for being here and for the support you have shown her throughout her time away. I also want to say hello to Elder Garcia who is hopefully able to have good enough wi-fi to join us today in Africa.  When I posed the question to Kaitlyn who she wanted to have speak with her I knew deep down she wanted Brooklyn but I also knew that Brooklyn had told both missionaries that if either of them asked her to talk she would simply not come to church that day at all and she was fine to miss their homecomings. To be able to pull off a small surprise for Kaitlyn today with having B speak just makes my heart smile Tyler conveniently doesn't do the social media thing so she wasn't an option to ask and Christian is in Africa so that wouldn't be an option either. I s...

Week 1 Email: I have a new Mom

From: Kaitlyn.Garcia@missionary.org Date: Saturday, January 16, 2021 Subject: I have a new mom Oi todos!It's just little old me, Kaitlyn. Well now it's Sister Garcia ;) I'm officially a missionary, which is so crazy to think about! During the online MTC my Pdays are Saturdays so you can expect an update from me every Saturday for the next 6 weeks. The CTM has been amazing so far! :) If I'm being honest I was super nervous to start and I didn't really know what to expect from it, but I'm so glad I've been able to do my training at home. My schedule that I was sent was all in Brazil time and it said that most of my classes were to start at 8:30am. I don't know if any of you know this, but Brazil is 4 hours ahead of Utah, you can do that math, it was supposed to be early! Luckily it's been changed and now my classes don't start until 9:30am Utah time. They like to keep us busy that's for sure! I already have to memorize and learn cer...
