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

Hayy yall!
So, today we found out who will be transferred! And this whole week has been super funny because neither I nor Sister Oliveira wanted to be transferred! We have met sooo many new people this week! We found a part of the city that has a population of 10,000 people! And we did divisions there teaching about 60 people! Every single person that we invited to be baptized accepted!! Not to mention this amazing family that seriously just needed to be found! They don’t drink, or smoke, and barely drink coffee! We taught the Restoration and they both accepted baptism! They are in the process of getting married! And that is literally all they need to do! They are sooo amazing! They came to church and both of them cried in their separate classes because we talked about baptism and families! They LOVE the gospel! But, Sister Oliveira and I said that we will both be transferred because we both love this area! And that’s so true! It always seems to come at the wrong time! And guess what! Only she will be transferred 2morrow! Woohoo! Sister Oliveira will be a Sister Leader Trainador. That’s like a zone leader for sisters! And I will get to train a greenie! Woohoo! I am soo nervous but really excited at the same time! My mission is seriously flying by sooo fast! It’s crazy! I am soo ready to work with these people!! I love you all with all of my heart and I am soo excited to meet this new amazing sister!!!
Sempre com amor,
Sister Taylor!!
