Subject: The One With A Horse

Olá! 
How are you guys?! I hope you all had a great week and I can't believe that it's already Monday again. It's also time for transfers already and you'll have to stya tuned to see what happens :) This week had lots going on so we're just going to jump right in :) 

- On pday I had some fun moments cleaning our bathroom and we quickly discovered that our bathroom is broken again... if it's not a broken fridge it's a broken bathroom haha! 
- We had exchanges this week too! We had them with Casa Forte and I got to be with Sister Roza. It's a little weird to think the last time I saw her she was in training! Time goes by super quick! We had some really cool miracles too so that's always a plus 
- While coming back from a lesson, Sister Scioli and I found a wild horse! I decided to name him Calvin :) 
- We were able to read the Book of Mormon with Analice and Anderson this week! pretty please keep them in your prayers if you can! 
- We got to have Virtual Zone Conference this week too and of course it was too good :) 
- I spent some time this week teaching Sister Scioli how to do a summer salt haha! In the end she got it though ;) 
- We had some really amazing lessons with our media stuff! Super tender mercies and really just made my love for missionary work grow 
- Sunday we had Analice, Anderson, and Pedro at church with us and they loved it! Not only that but they said they want to come next week too :) 
- On Sunday we had 3 really crazy exchanges with people on the street haha! One said that he was a prophet, one said that he wanted to know where the nearest chapel was, and the last one was a less active that wants to chat with us. God is good! 
- Like I said earlier, we got transfer news... I'll be staying here in Torreão B to see Sister Scioli off here in a quick 6 weeks! Not only will she be ending her mission but I only have 12 weeks left of my mission.... o que?! 

Spiritual Thought 
This week I've been reflecting a lot on the meaning of Easter. I've had some amazing studies and I've loved looking back on talks from April General Conferences as well. I won't make this thought too long, but I just wanted to share a quick scripture from John 20:21 "Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you." Christ lives! He knows each of us indiviually. He descended below everything, He died for us, and He rose from the dead for us. He offers more peace, comfort, love, and so much more than the world could ever offer. This week as we get ready for Easter my simple invite would be to think about what Easter means to YOU :) 

Thanks for reading another crazy email of all the adventures here in Brasil! I hope you all have an amazing week and an incredible Easter too! Let me know what I can do for you all this week! 
Amo voces!
Beijos, 
Sister Garcia 
p.s if you have some time go watch the video the church put out for Easter! Or send me a message and I'll send you the link :) 

Fotos!
Açaí with Sister Roza
He lives! :)
Sister Scioli loves to make this face haha!

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...
