Subject: The One With A New Fridge

Bom dia todos!! 
I hope you all are doing so good and had the best week! This week was seriously so good! We really implemented the things we learned from our mission tour last week and saw so many miracles:) Here was my week! 

- We got our weekly açaí on Monday night and I've decided I'm gonna have some major saudades of açaí when I'm home 
- We had so many lessons this week! I realized just how much I love teaching and that I truly wouldn't rather be doing anything else :) 
- One of our referrals sent us an audio of her singing a Hino and it was the best 4 minutes ever haha! 
- We had such a good DC this week! We had it combined with another district and they just got 2 new Americans. It's crazy to think that I was once brand new in Brasil. 
- We got a new fridge!! Our old was was literally breaking and leaking water from the freezer all over the place...oops! But now we have a new one:) 
- I ate bode (goat!) this week for lunch at a members house and it wasn't bad at all! Sister Da Mata wasn't a fan, but I thought it was good haha!
- On Sunday we got to help with the Primary Program practice and let me tell you that little kids singing in Português is the cutest thing ever! 

Spiritual Thought 
This week I had some really amazing studies in the Book of Mormon, specifically in Alma :) I always have a love hate relationship with Alma haha! I LOVE that book, but it's always the book that takes me the longest to read. In chapter 19 it talks about Lamoni and his family and how they all fell into a trance and were given so many blessing and even converted to the Lord. In verse 14 it says, "Now Ammon seeing the Spirit of the Lord poured out according to his prayers upon the Lamanites, ... he fell upon his knees, and began to pour out his soul in prayer and thanksgiving to God for what he had done for his brethren; and he was also overpowered with joy; ..." The Lord is willing and ready to pour our blessings in our lives! I love that it says that He did so according to the prayers of Ammon, we have access to these great blessings simply by the power of prayer:) I also love that it says that Ammon went to the Lord to thank Him. We should always remember to thank the Lord for everything we have and everything He's given us when we've asked:) Not only that but it's through the power of prayer, faithfulness, and the Lord's blessing that we can feel the same joy that Ammon felt :) 

This week was a longer email so sorry about that! Hopefully some of you stuck around to keep reading ;) I hope you all are prepping your stomachs for Thanksgiving coming up soon too! I hope you all have the most amazing week! Let me know what I can do for you:) 

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...

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...
