Olá family and friends!!
Sister Ashcraft and I are staying in São José whooot whoooot!!!
Okay, I would just like to say Modern Revelation is sincerely the neatest and one of the most blessed privileges we get on this Earth. So. cool!!!!!! I am beyond excited to video chat with my family and share (in an easier way) the joys of Serving the Lord in His marvelous work!!!
It has been a crazy couple of weeks which is awesome!! Last week Sister Ashcraft and I did divisions with 2 wonderful Sisters in Campos do Jordão! It is seriously such a cute town! It was settled by Swiss and German immigrants and it is in the mountains, so basically it was the Alps haha but Brazilian style. The houses were all in the hills, there was a railway track down the middle of the roads, all the shops and houses had the ski-slope roofs and there was a chocolate store on every corner! I did splits for the day with Sister Bonham who is from West Haven, Utah (Aunt Gail?)! This was her last transfer in the mission, so it was really sweet to ask her questions and get a lot of advice about mission life and such, and she is awesome so it was really fun!
It has rained A TON these past two weeks, and one day we got caught in a giant rain storm and got completely soaked ahaha so we learned our lesson to be more prepared....
This week was really great because we have several progressing investigators and they are all very interested in learning more about the gospel of Jesus Christ!! Sweet!! We taught about the Restoration to this really sweet couple with their grandson, their names are Paulo and Bethany and they own a ranch an hour north of São José so they were showing us pictures and it was fun getting to know them! They really loved the lesson and are reading the Book of Mormon together! We are hoping to mark them for baptism this week!!
Another one of our investigators, Silvio, was pulling into his garage when we contacted him and were able to explain about the Book of Mormon with him. He said he always felt there was another book out there that testified more of Christ, super cool!!
Our activity with the ward is about giving the Book of Mormon to a friend, or a family member and sharing the joy that is contained in it!! It is so amazing to see and feel the reactions of people when they receive their own copy and go "This is mine?" because "the Book of Mormon really is the most correct book on the earth and will come closer to God by abiding by its precepts than by any other book." -Joseph Smith.
I have really grown to cherish my scriptures here in the mission and I can see the Hand of God during my day as I am able to share with people on the street and members during lunch what I learned that morning that can apply to them. What a joy it is to read from the Book of Mormon every day! I know for an assurance that when we do, we can receive inspiration and guidance in our lives.
Have a fantastic week!
