This week in the Secretary´s office

So, this week was my first here in the office as part of the staff of the mission! Woohoo!! I have learned so much about how things work behind the scenes in these past 5 days its crazy. I have to practically start from the begining again though as far as learning goes cause everything is a different vocabulary here. Its all about office supplies and how to deal with some legal things about Foreigners staying in Brazil. Its pretty crazy and I feel like I'm starting all over again! It kind of sucks I'll be honest but hey its the life of a missionary! My new P-Day is on Saturday so if you want to send me an email than Saturday is the day I'll be able to respond! Lots of learning of new vocab here in the office of Missão Brasil Natal! Love you all have a great week!!!!

Hymns are scriptures too!

So, it's the end of transfers and looks like my time here in Potengi is all up! This transfer training taught me a lot about patience and hard work, that is for sure! It is a lot of responsibility to train a new missionary cause literally everything they know about the mission is from you...so you have to be a good example or you are effecting the future of that missionary! But in the end, it was a great growing experience and it got me going with really serving the lord with all of my might mind and energy. This last week was amazing and I will send some photos of this little old lady that we baptized. She is amazing and her name is Francisca. Francisca is the mom of a member, but was never baptized in the church because she was very strong in her own faith.  But, after a while, she moved in with her daughter to help her out because she was not able to help herself with some things. Well, we went to her house and right from the beginning this little old lady was thanking God for sending us because she had been feeling lonely and wanted someone to keep her company. At first, she wouldn't pay attention to the lessons we would teach, but I learned that she loved the hymns of the church, so we made an audible. We decided to teach her the story of the church through hymns. So, my companion and I would go there and sing then explain the lyrics to her so she would understand our message. If I learned something during this experience, it is the power of the hymns and the power of the spirit when it touches the heart of people. It was truly an amazing experience and i am super glad i got to be a part of it. I'll send some pics if i find somewhere that i can... Where i am right now doesnt have a place for a usb or a sd card so it kinda sucks, but I'll send some as soon as i can. 

Love you all and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
