Subject: The One With Willamis

Bom dia! Tudo bem? 
I hope you all had an amazing week and that you did something fun :) This week was just too good and full of so many reminders of just how good God truly is! Never forget that God is ALWAYS good:) This week was go,go,go and Sister Bradbeer and I really got to working on our chaco tan lines haha! Here's this weeks highlights! :) 

- We had Zone Pday and one of the Brazilian Elders told me that I'm basically Brazilian so I can now die peacefully knowing that haha! 
- We had a HUGE bug fly into our apartment during comp study so of course I got to play exterminator again ;) 
- I cut my hand on an ice cube this week and now I have a mark in the middle of my palm. I guess that's what I get for trying to get a big ice cube to fit in my water bottle! 
- We finally had a lesson with our friend Ewandreia! She's literally the sweetest and loves hearing from us :) She could use some prayers if you have any to spare! 
- We had some amazing sunsets and sherbet skies here in Carpina! God is too good:) 
- While we were doing some street contacts we found a churro truck! They're on every corner in the praça so we decided to try it and let me tell you, they're better than Disneyland churros 
- As a Zone we contacted 444 referrals! We have this project going on in the mission and we've been calling and messaging people like crazy! 
- We had such tender mercies and rad miracles while walking on the streets this week! We ended up helping a lady carry her groceries to her house and we found out that she had contact with missionaries in the past! We got to talking and hopefully we can keep in touch:) 
- Now for the subject line.... Willamis was baptized! Woot woot!! He truly had such a heart of gold and the Gospel of Jesus Christ has changed his life :) It was such a special day and one to remember for a lifetime! 
- Speaking of Willamis' baptism, Sister Bradbeer and I made a cake and a million brigaderos but then we realized it was fast Sunday... we made all these treats and couldn't even eat them! 
- Sunday was just a good day:) That's all haha! Sundays are so special and I hope that you all love sundays like I do :) 
- We got a call today, that's that's this is later haha! That I'm being transferred from Carpina to another area closer to Recife! I'm going to be an STL and in charge of some media work! I'm super sad to be leaving but I'm excited for this new adventure 

Spiritual Thought 
This week I've been studying a lot about humility. We can always be more humble (and kind;) but when we are truly humble the Lord will bless us kore than we can even imagine. What does it mean to be humble though? Being humble is FULLY submitting to the plan that the Lord has. For Willamis, he was humble enough to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. For Sister Bradbeer, she's humble enough to take all my advice as a trainer haha! For me, being humble is the only way I can do this great work. For all of you humility might mean something different, but I encourage all of you to search for how you can be more humble and submit your heart and soul to the Lord :) 

Thanks for reading yet another email :) You guys are all amazing and I love hearing from all of you! Shoot me an email and I'll I'll my best to get back to you :) I hope you all have the best 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...

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...
