Hello family and friends. This week was also an emotional roller coaster, which makes 2 emotional roller coaster weeks in a row and I´m uncomfortable. Tomorrow is transfers and I’m super nervous for some reason. My companion is a Sister Araújo that I know nothing about except for that she´s Brazilian, and has about the same amount of time on the mission as I do (which is 6 months, btw). I´m really sad to lose Sister Gonçalves, she´s so great. The past 6 weeks have been the happiest of my life. But I guess we´ll see how it goes. I´ll be staying here in Pilar do Sul, so that will be good. The members are super wonderful and loving. I know the area fairly well, it´s small, so we shouldn´t get too lost haha. 

All I know for sure, no matter what´s ahead, is that this church is the church of Jesus Christ. I love being a missionary spreading the joy of the gospel to all those around me, and seeing the change it brings in their lives. It´s beautiful. It´s hard, but it´s worth it. I sometimes feel inadequate as a missionary, because I don´t know everything, and I’m not perfect, but I have to remember that I have a testimony that the things I teach are true, and that I live the things I teach. I know that we are all children of God and He loves us unconditionally. We are able to live with Him again one day because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He paid the punishment of our sins, and we just have to be obedient to show our appreciation and we will live with God again. A fellow missionary shared this article with me and it explains the Grace of God with such clarity that I never understood before. Please read it, it´s super good.
