Double baptism in Aeroporto! Gave a talk in Sacrament Meeting; Lots of changes coming!

Hello Family!!!  It's been another great week here in Aeroporto...and to top it all off we had a double baptism on Saturday!  Woohoo!  Both Taiz and Luana were baptized, and it was such a special day.  
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
