Three States In Two Days.

What a week!

Gotta start off with the highlights of the week, and I'm happy to say there's quite a few of them (in no particular order):

We were able to baptize Ana Cecília! We met her for the first time while knocking doors during divisões and she was excited to be baptized from the get-go. Yesterday she received the Gift of the Holy Ghost and was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ!

My brother - Quinn - received his mission call! He's also going to be heading down to South America. He was called to the Missão Argentina Buenos Aires Sul (yes that's in Portuguese, yes I know they speak Spanish down there, yes this is probably going to be a life-long debate between the two of us) and I was able to watch him oepn up his call! I am so stoked for him and excited to see the things he will do down there. 

Daniel received the Aronic Priesthood yesterday as well! Afterward he and his wife both got up during the testimony meeting and bore their testimonies. They have seen an incredible change in their household since being baptized, and it is incredible to me to think that I played somewhat of a role in that!

I left a screenshop of Google Maps to show how long our travel was that we had at the beginning of this week. Elder de Souza had a lidershop council in Teresina and we had divisões over in Camocim, Ceará. In total the travel was closer to 40 hours. Pretty crazy stuff, but awesome nonetheless.

Once again, not much time to get anything out much more more this, but thank you so much to everyone who sent me an email this week. Your words are so appreciated and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love you all and have a great week!


"And I would exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that every good gift cometh of Christ."

Moroni 10:18

Random but great scripture for y'all

Olá pessoal, ***Here's the real one*** What a quick, exciting, week! Like always, I will start off with the highlight. Only this week it was highlights with an "s"! We had another baptism! Rachael! She was baptized just last night and confirmed with the gift of the Holy Ghost. She has such a sweet testimony and has a way of praying that is so humble and personal. I was so very excited for her! Another highlight: General Conference! What an incredible opportunity we have every 6 months to listen to the words of the Lord's prophet, apostles, and other leaders of His Restored Church about topics that are so different yet all focused on Him. The world of commotion we live in will not become any less noisy any time soon. However, if we focus our lives on Jesus Christ and utilize His Atonement which he has already endured for us,  we will have His rock, His strength, as our foundation: a foundation that CANNOT fail. I am so humbled, excited, and awestricken that Cody is goi...

"You Ran To The End" -Sister Lindsey

Good morning everybody, Well, I'm going to have to start off this email in the most cliché way possible; I cannot believe, at all, that I am writing my last ever mission e-mail. The time truly has gone by so quickly. But in the spirit of all of my previous emails that I have written, I guess I must start off with this week's highlights. Brace yourselves... there are a lot of them: First of all, like always, I have to talk about baptism. Suellyn was baptized yesterday and is the newest member of the Church and its Relief Society here in the city. Her brother and sister, Ítalo and Magdalena, were baptized last week, and the Spirit ended up showing her that what we had been sharing was true. She rarely stayed in the room while we taught, but she heard everything. We invited her to say a prayer. She did it, and she got an answer. As the Lord had done His part, she went ahead and did hers. We taught her during the week and she was baptized after our "Group Conference." Spe...

OHHH... We're Half Way There!

Olá Irmãos e Irmãs, You might have already guessed since I went ahead and put it in the subject, but I have officially passed the halfway mark for my time in at-home MTC!  **There are a couple of things I feel I should address before I continue: 1) No, I was not breaking mission rules and listening to Bon Jovi before writing this email (the song's title is "Livin' on a  Prayer ," so I think we'd be good anyway) and 2) I'm not by any means saying I'm ready to be done with my MTC experience because it has been great and I've been able to meet some incredible people. I'm just saying I'm excited to get into the field and serve!** Not only that, but my official travel itinerary was sent to me during the week! I, officially, will be flying from Cody-Denver-Salt Lake City September 7th to begin my temporary assignment in Orem! "Why not take the direct flight from Cody to Salt Lake?," you may ask. I guarantee you it's because Heavenly Fat...
