Olá pessoal!

How are you guys?! I hope your week was good and that the weather is warming up, I've been trying to send some sun ;) This week was full of fun adventures and so many memories so I'm just gonna get into it!

- We went to this super cool market for pday and it was so fun to get to see the Pernambuco culture :)

- We had a super fun encounter with our friend Roseane! She's actually the receptionist of one of our other friends and referred herself because if what our other friend had to say about us and the Book of Mormon

- We had Zone Conference! I say it every time but I seriously love Zone Conference:) And this time around I got to see my sweet Sister Bradbeer :)

- Sister Scioli and I got a flu shot and so did a few other Elders, this is when we learned that Elders are babies haha!

- We had such a killer lesson with our friend Felipe! He had to travel for work but he's still doing good :)

- We had exchanges with Madalena this week too! It was super fun and we saw some cool miracles as always

- Sister Jones and I got a little lost on the bus but we made it to where we needed to be so I guess that's all the matters haha!

- We had another really good ward activity and a youth dance that was super fun! We were able to get some referencias and talk to a lot of menos ativos

- Sister Scioli officially hit 18 months and today is her last pday :/ I'm not crying, you are

- I guess I hit 16 months too...

Spiritual Thought

During Zone Conference we talked a lot about the Savior (duh haha!) but Sister Nordfelt talked about oxen and how they carry a yoke too. Long story short she tied it all in and even talked about a three legged race. As humans we like to do things by ourselves and normally we don't ask for help. But the kicker is that we NEED help, that's why the Savior is our Savior, He needs to save us. We are all walking along like a three legged race and it seems easy until it's not anymore. That's when the Savior comes into play and helps us get to the finish line. It also reminded me of the poem, 'Footprints in the Sand' The Savior is always going to help us but we have to let Him. We have to NEED Him

You did it! Another email down haha! I hope you all have the best week! Let me know if there's anything I can do for you guys :)

Amo vocês!

Beijos,

Sister Garcia
