Ooooiiiii! 

I hope you guys are all doing good and had a great week and huge shout-out to all the moms too;) This week was kind of a blur it went by so fast haha! Here's this week's highlights:) 

- We had Zone Pday and this time we actually got at least one picture ;) 
- We had more exchanges this week! I got to stay here in Torreão with Sister Bügs! She's super cute and we had such a fun time :) 
- Sister Scioli and I taught this sweet woman named Paula this week! She's the sweetest and has lived such a hard life, we're really hoping that the Gospel will be able to help her 
- We had a special District Counsel this week with President Nordfelt and we talked a lot about our faith IN Jesus Christ and how miracles can happen :) 
- We also had interviews! I love interviews and this time it was definitely needed haha! President Nordfelt is just my favorite and I even got to have a mini interview with Sister Nordfelt :) 
- Sister Scioli and I fulfilled our bucket list item of petting a horse this week!! He was almost asleep but totally worth it ;) 
- I gave a talk in church AND I had to sing. Let's just say that I was grateful we had fans and a piano to tey and drown out some noise haha! 
- We had a total miracle yesterday at church! When we walked in there was guy named Felipe sitting there and now he's our new friend! He's super open and lives so close to the church too 

Spiritual Thought 
This week I read one of my favorite talks from President Henry B. Eyring. It talked a lot about the Holy Ghost and how we can better see the hand of the Lord in our lives. He said, "I realized that trying to remember had allowed God to show me what He had done." I love that! When we think back on our days we can better see the hand of the Lord and the tender mercies that He's placed in our paths :) Don't forget, God is in the details! 

Thanks for reading yet another email! Sorry this one is a little later, having a companion going home soon makes for busy pdays 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...

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...
