Happy amazing week everyone!!!
Hay yall!
Things on the mission are soo great!
It’s starting to get a little difficult to switch back and forth from English
to Portuguese! But, emailing is good practice! So, this week I received a
greenie! lol Minha filha! She is Brazilian and she is sooo great! I really
wanted to train a Brazilian so I am super glad I got her! lol She did a mini
mission for one transfer in her city back home so she has some experience! But,
she said it was super difficult without the training of the MTC. Which totally
makes sense! She talks with real intention. She is soo spunky and outgoing! She
loves to talk to people and get to know them which are such a great quality! We
get along really well! We are still in training because she has a lot to learn
still. But, seriously she is already almost there! And I am soo happy for that!
This week we worked really hard. We didn’t have a full week because of
transfers and everything but I was great! Her name is Sister Terrazas
(Tay.ha.zas.)!
So, this week we were working with
that family that I told you all about! They are soo sweet! They really want to
be baptized and stay firm in the gospel. The only problem is that are ready to
get married yet. But, seriously they are soo ready to be married! They have soo
much love for one another and they really do help each other! They remind me a
lot of Mom and Dad! haha Its perfect! So, we were in their house yesterday
talking about The Book of Mormon. We all read together in 3 Nephi Chap. 11 when
Jesus Cristo came to the Americas! And it talks A LOT about baptism. They both
started crying because they felt the spirit so strongly! I know that they feel
good about it! We asked them exactly how was their response to their prayer
about Joseph Smith and about everything we taught. They said that the first
response was when Sister Oliveira and I left their house after the first visit.
They said that immediately they felt the absence of something. Which was the
spirit! They then told us that their responses were really clear! They know
that The Gospel is true. They want our help to teach them more about marriage
in the temple. I thought a lot this week about our purpose as missionaries. Our
purpose isn’t just to have more baptisms than the other missionary. Our purpose
is to really help families be sealed together for eternity! I know how
important that day is. I haven´t experienced that yet but I can feel how
important that is. Especially with this family! They are soo great! I can’t
wait to help them get married in the temple. All I can say is that I know for
certainty that day will come for them. I KNOW that it will. It may not be me
that baptizes them but when that day comes it will ALL be worth it.
For those who have been sealed in
the temple or watched a temple sealing, you all know how beautiful that day is!
I want to invite you all to share that experience with a youth or a friend. I
promise you that they will feel the spirit. You don’t need to say details. Just
express why that day was soo important to you!
Thank you all for your examples! I
love each and every one of you!
Sempre com amor,
Sister Tayor
