Subject: The One With Temple Pday

Bom dia! 
How are you guys? I hope that this week was a good one and that you guys are all doing well :) My pday is today because we get to go to the temple woot woot! I can't lie, it was a little weird to not talk to anyone yesterday, so if you think I ignored you, I promise I'll respond today haha! This week was chuck full so I'm just goning to get right into it! :)

- Sister Scioli and I had the most BOMB salad on pday! I don't think I've ever been so happy to eat a salad in my life haha! 
- We had a meeting with all the leadership in the mission and it was so good! I learned a lot and I even got to see some of my favorite people :) 
- Sister Scioli bore her testimony at this meeting and she even did it in English! I've never been so proud :)
- One of our lights burned out in our apartment and I'm convinced that our apartment just hates us because it's always something! 
- Sister Scioli and I learned that there was some kind of vacation/holiday this week haha! We had no idea but now it makes sense why no one was answering us ;) 
- We had some solid street contacting this week and saw some cool miracles! Just a reminder, if something falls through it's because the Lord has something so much better waiting for you :) 
- We met the cutest little old lady and when we finished up her lesson she offered us some cake haha! It didn't matter that it was 11am haha! 
- We had a super good Sunday school this past week! Irmã Rubia is a sweetheart and it was a good reminder that we can always be better :) 
- We don't have to use masks! Presidente Nordfelt told us that we only have to use them in pharmacies and the hospital but other than that we don't need to! I've never been so happy:) That also means that I really need to start watching my facial expressions haha! 
- Today is temple pday! I'll write more about it next week, but if you guys are able to go to the temple, GO! :) 

Spiritual Thought
This past week I read a talk that I really loved from Elder Uchtdorf. He talked a lot about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and how we can apply it in our own lives. He talked a lot about the 'why' behind the Atonement too, he said, "He did this for all who believe in Him. He did this for all who do not believe in Him. He did this even for those who mock, revile, and curse His name." Christ went through things that we can't even begin to imagine, yet through it all He still loves each of us. We are all capable of feeling that love, the love that kept Christ on the cross. How incredible is that?! Because of the imense love that the Savior has for each of His children His Atonement is infinite and accessable 

This one was a long one so if you made it this far, parabens! Haha! 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...
