So I'm here
in Geovani Gronchi! I have never worked in an area quite like this one. The
ward consists of two neighborhoods- one is with apartment buildings and nice
houses and the other is in a "comunidade". We mostly work in the
humble part because the other part is just referrals. But the people there are
super receptive and nice. There is a challenge there with the word of wisdom
and that it is very rare to find someone legally married so maybe we´ll marry
some people!
The chapel
is very pretty and huge! It is our ward there and the ward of Vila Andrade
which includes Pariosoplis which is the area right next to ours. It is the area
of the elders and is the biggest favela in Brasil. There is even a novela about
it.
I´m really
determined to work more with the members to strengthen the ward. I think all of
the ideas I´ve seen and done on my mission can really help the ward here.
My new
companion is Sister Avelino.
Tomorrow we
will go to the temple! Yay! It is great being in a temple mission! I´m in the
same zone where I started my mission.
I´m so
grateful for my mission. I can´t believe it is winding down, I feel like I have
such little time to accomplish what I want to. I know we will see many miracles
here.
I know that
this is Christ´s church and this gospel is perfect.
Até mais
