"I Feel Like I'm Flying" -Wendel

Boa tarde pessoal,

Not too much to report on from this week!

We were excited to be able to help Thais, the daughter of Nonata (who we baptized two weeks ago), be baptized yesterday. She had been excited for weeks to be able to be baptized and came out of the baptismal waters with a huge smile on her face. It was another incredibly spiritual baptismal service.

As we walked uphill to a nearby canoe to do her confirmation she said, "Guys, I feel lighter now; like a weight I didn't even know I had was taken away." A few minutes after the service had finished, she sent a message in the group chat expressing how happy she was to be a part of the Church.

Élder Pollock and Élder Narváez will no longer be in Itapecuru, unfortunately. Élder Pollock will be opening up a new group of the Church in a smaller city named Barra do Corda and Élder Narváez will be going to Teresina. I will be staying in Itapecuru with Élder Felipe. We will also be welcoming an American named Élder Oliver and his companion who is being reassigned from the Goiâna Mission. That's the way it will be until the day that I return home, which is fortunately and unfortunately growing ever nearer: just 5 weeks now.

"And it shall come to pass, that whoso arepenteth and is baptized in my name shall be filled; and if he endureth to the end, behold, him will I hold guiltless before my Father at that day when I shall stand to judge the world."

3 Nephi 27:16

Love you all and hope you all have a great week! 

Até a próxima!
Élder Lindsay

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...
