Taiz is the little sister of a member here in the ward, she is 10
years old and is awesome. :) She has been living with her sister, Irmã
Lucimar the last few months after she lost her husband and daughters in
a car accident, and it was so special to
see how the two have helped each other through these difficult times,
and how the gospel is making a difference in their lives. Taiz is so
sweet and it has been so much fun to teach her and help her prepare to
be baptized.
Luana is a young woman that we have been teaching the last month or
so. She is a good friend of a recent convert, Isabele. The two are 13
years old and are super excited to be able to go to the temple to do
baptisms in June! Luana had a hard time committing
to baptism for a long time and was really hesitant, but last Sunday she
finally made up her mind and on Saturday she was baptized. We were all
so excited that she had made that decision and it was beautiful to see
how happy she was at her baptism! You could
tell that she really did know that it was the right thing to do, and
that it felt good!
What else happened this week... we got to go downtown to get a
vaccine this week. It was for a sickness called "gripe", that I think
is something like the flu. Blech, shots. But the 40-ish missionaries
here in Londrina all got to go in on the same day,
so it was fun to be able to run in to a few of them in the vaccination
clinic. Almost as good as a zone conference. :)
Oh, and I got to give a talk in sacrament meeting yesterday! It
didn't go as well as I would have liked, but I survived...and it was
surprisingly hard to keep it within 10 minutes. Haha, I NEVER thought I
would have that problem. :P :)
Next week is transfers. There will be a lot of new sisters
arriving, and President Tavares has been dropping hints that there will
be a lot of changes happening....exciting! Also, this upcoming transfer
will be President and Sister Tavares' last transfer
here. Crazy...it's not going to be the same mission without them! But
we're all excited to be able to get to know our new president too. :)
Welp, that's it from me. I'm sorry I haven't had too many
interesting stories lately, I'll do my best to have some good ones next
week! :D
Love always,
Sister Gee
