Welcome to Pindamonhangaba

Ola everyone!!

A little info about Pindamonhangaba:
Literally, we are closer to Rio de Janeiro than to São Paulo.
It is a small city, but growing.
Super country side and lots of pretty, green mountains.
Was a Branch for 30 years and became a Ward only a little over a year ago.
Lots of people being prepared to receive the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.


P.s. In about 10 weeks, I will give a candy to the person who can pronounce the name right :)


We had a great week getting to know the area and the members and the investigators. Lots of members live on Ranches so they all live a good distance from one another. 

This Friday will be the baptism of Yasmin, who is 13 years old, and Guilherme who is 17 years old. 

Yesterday, after church we went to teach a friend of a member and taught about the Plan of Salvation. But in specific, about the relationship we have with God and Jesus Christ. The importance and blessing of prayers because at any moment we can talk and communicate with our Father in Heaven. And HE ANSWERS. Always. I shared 3 Nephi 18:19-21. 

I am infinitely grateful for the Prophet Joseph Smith who asked, and received. By his example, we can do and know the same. We have a loving Heavenly Father and a Savior who want us to return and life with them in a state of happiness without end. 

Be courageous and share a Book of Mormon with someone. It will change their life.

Have a fantastic week!!


love, Sister Giles
