Já ERA!!!!!

Heyyy everyone!!! Sorry I've been so horrible about emailing lately! Buuuut if you want to know more you can ask me in person here in 9 DAYS!!!!! hahaha just a little trunky haha. 

Buuut these last few weeks have been incredible.... and super hard! Opposition in all things right? haha.  As of the work here, we're teaching a lot! Trying to find our friends! As of right now we have 3 people for baptism this week. A young man (19 years old) "JV" who is super super quiet, he barely talks to us but he seems to be understanding everything and he likes church a lot so that's good! He prays and reads the things we ask him to read and pray about. Super awesome! He's gone to church with us twice now and is just missing 2 lessons to be baptized! We'll teach them this week and have the baptism on Saturday!!! Woooo! 

 

Then we have a young woman (14years old) "R", who is super super eleita!!! She's perfect! She's a friend of a member and has such a huge desire to be baptized! It's super cute! 

 

Then we have another young man (13 years old) "L", who is also super eleito, but he struggles a lot because he thinks he's a huge failure to everyone. it's super sad that that's how he sees himself.. We're working a lot with him and his friend who have literally asked to be baptized! It's so cool to see that young men of 12-13 years of age have the desire to change and be better. He really understands the things we teach which is super super awesome!! 

 

Beyond this its a lot of friends of members or friends of our investigators. But we also do a lot of street contacting too! Which is much harder in my opinion, usually the people we meet in the streets don't want anything do to with us. or they just want to be friends and they don't want us to teach them. it's rough!  

I have been so blessed to be able to serve here and really love the people here! I know that without a doubt, that this is the Church of Christ that has been restored to the earth for us here in these Latter days! I know that Joseph Smith was called of God and that he really was a prophet of God! I am so so grateful for the chance I've had to serve as a servant of God here in Brazil! 

Love you all so much!

Sister Moss  

 

 

T - Minus 17 days

We had a few people at church with us which was good but I was really sad that 2 people we are teaching didn't go! Hopefully they go this week! They're husband and wife and are super, super awesome! the lessons we have with them are so spiritual, it's incredible! 

Love, love, love these quotes!!! (Thanks for sending them, Mom!)

 

 

Wow, I can't believe that in 2 short weeks I'll be heading home. It's crazy, I cant wrap my mind around it.

 

Not much more to say today.  Sister Castro and I are passing in Panatis to say goodbye to people today. This week we are going to be working hard. Lots of work to find people and baptize!

Have a good week.

Love,

 

Sister Moss

Só mais 3 Semanas Gente!!!!

Hey everyone!!! Yikes, I'm the worst, its been a while since I wrote to y'all. Hope all is well! So to update the last few weeks: 

So since the beginning of this transfer a lot has happened! Just a quick summary of it all, So the first week we were getting to know the area and the past investigators the Sisters had. Went really well, also we've been busy with the training of Sister Barlow. Man she's progressing so fast!! But the first week was basically just getting to know everyone and everything.

The second week we were blessed with a baptism of a man named Rodrigo. He is such a good guy. We were helping him to stop smoking so we tried something new. I don't know if you guys have heard of it but it was the first time i saw it, we made tea from a few cigarettes for him. Its supposed to be really nasty. I thought he was gonna die when he drank it, but he didn't (good thing, right?) haha! buuut he did get really sick. he threw up for about 10 mins straight. poor thing. when we were talking with him he told us that everything in him was burning. We explained to him that when he smokes it has the same effect, just its hidden. he stopped smoking and 2 Saturdays ago he was baptized! It was so cool! 

Then last week we worked a lot with some of the references we received, but didn't go to well. No one wants to hear from us. super sad.

And this week we worked a bunch!!!!! I got to do splits with the sisters in Alecrim because Sister Castro was sick. I worked for 2 days with Sister Vasquez, shes amazing! and we got so much done in just 2 days! we found a nice new area for them to work in when Sister Castro is all better. Hopefully it all works out! In our area we're working with a few friends of the members in our ward. They're super awesome but somehow they always find excuses not to be baptized.. its real rough but we're working our butts off to show them that this is exactly what they need. buuut it'll all work out I know it will!!

Beyond on this not much has happened. We're seeing little miracles everyday, and I'm really seeing the hand of God working with us!!! 

I'm dying. I'm so so tired. I know that if i didn't have the mantle that i do have I'd be sleeping right now and everyday. Only the power of the Holy Ghost and of God am I able to continue working as much as we are. its incredible. When we're walking i literally don't feel my feet anymore, I feel like I'm not even in control anymore. One of the biggest miracles haha! 

Love and miss you all! See y'all in 3 weeks!!!!!

Com Amor,

Síster Moss

Ei pessoal! Eita, eu sou o pior, faz algum tempo desde que eu escrevi para vocês. Espero que esteja tudo bem! Então, notícias das últimas semanas:

Então, desde o início dessa transferência, muitas coisas aconteceram! Apenas um breve resumo de tudo isso. Então, na primeira semana, estávamos conhecendo a área e os pesquisadores do passado que as Sisters tinham. Foi muito bem, também estivemos ocupados com o treinamento da Sister Barlow. Cara, ela está progredindo tão rápido !! Mas a primeira semana foi basicamente conhecer todos e tudo mais. 

Na segunda semana fomos abençoados com o batismo de um homem chamado Rodrigo. Ele é um cara tão bom. Nós o ajudamos a parar de fumar, então tentamos algo novo. Eu não sei se vocês já ouviram falar, mas foi a primeira vez que vi, fizemos chá de cigarro com ele. É pra ser muito desagradável. Eu pensei que ele ia morrer quando ele bebeu, mas não foi (boa coisa, né?) kkkk! Mas ele ficou muito doente. ele vomitou por cerca de 10 minutos seguidos. pobre. quando estávamos conversando com ele, ele nos disse que tudo nele estava queimando. Nós explicamos a ele que quando ele fuma tem o mesmo efeito, apenas o seu oculto. ele parou de fumar e 2 sábados atrás ele foi batizado! Foi tão legal!

então na semana passada nós trabalhamos muito com algumas das referências que recebemos, mas não foi tão bem. Ninguém quer ouvir de nós. super triste

e esta semana trabalhamos um monte !!!!! Eu fiz uma divisão com as Sisters de Alecrim porque a Sister Castro estava doente. Eu trabalhei por 2 dias com a Sister Vasquez, ela é incrível! e fizemos muito em apenas 2 dias! nós achamos uma área nova para elas trabalharem quando a Sister castro é melhor. Espero que tudo dê certo! Na nossa área, estamos trabalhando com alguns amigos dos membros da nossa ala. Eles são super incríveis, mas de alguma forma eles sempre encontram desculpas para não serem batizados ... é realmente difícil, mas estamos trabalhando para mostrar a eles que isso é exatamente o que eles precisam. maaaas tudo vai dar certo eu sei que vai !!

além disso, não aconteceu muita coisa. estamos vendo pequenos milagres todos os dias e estou realmente vendo a mão de Deus trabalhando conosco!

Estou morrendo. Estou tão cansada. Eu sei que se eu não tivesse o manto que eu tenho eu estaria dormindo agora e todos os dias. Somente o poder do Espírito Santo e de Deus sou capaz de continuar trabalhando tanto quanto nós. é incrível. Quando estamos caminhando eu literalmente não sinto mais meus pés, sinto que não estou mais no controle. Um dos maiores milagres haha!

Amo muito vocês e sinto muito saudades de todos! Vejo vocês em 3 semanas !!!!!

com muito amor,

Síster Moss
