Hello! 

So today I start my last transfer in the mission!! Super crazy, I know. Last week the secretary called to ask what airport I wanted to arrive at. I told him Hawaii. Just kidding, you can wait for me in Salt Lake.

 

We had a conference with all of the sisters in the mission this week. The conference was for us to work harder and have a better vision  of the importance of baptism because we don't meet our goals as much as the elders. It was a good training and gave me some more energy to keep going doing my best until the end. 

Best part of the week. João Maria was baptized!!! You may be asking yourself, who the heck is that? I don't remember if I told you about a man named Judson that drank a lot and we were teaching and gave us an emotional roller coaster all month, well his real name is João Maria. Yeah, long story. Anyways now I can say that I've seen a miracle. In less than one week he became a different person. Seriously I don't even know how to explain it. His heart was changed. He started doing what we taught and trusting in God and his life is changing. I've never seen someone change so completely in such a short time. God really is accelerating his work. This month is going to be full of Christmas miracles and even though it is freaking hot here I want to have a white Christmas, full of baptisms. 

We did a little turkey activity for Thanksgiving at our district meeting Tuesday, as you can see in the picture. Other than that Thanksgiving didn't exist for me, but whatever. I'll eat turkey next year. 

 

Anyways, Monday I'll bring my camera to the LAN house and send more photos and write more about things that have been happening lately because I don't remember anymore right now. Love you tons! Thanks for the prayers!

Oh and I love reading Em & Chad's e-mails. Sounds like they are doing great. Chad got to the mission field with fire in his bones marking baptisms, way to go.
