Herrrrooo Everyone!
How are ya´ll doing?? I know it’s been forever, but that just means that I have lots of new news!
I have been taking care of two areas here in Mangabeira, but two weeks ago we received two new sisters here! Two Americans and one just arrived. This is the first time that I am living with Americans and the first time having to share a house. It’s been pretty fun! I am able to remember English and my companion is practicing her English a lot too. It was a little sad to say goodbye to one of the wards I was taking care of, but I am excited to focus my efforts on the Branch. It’s a little weird to only work in one area- I am feeling like I only have a little space to work. But its fun- a new experience.
We finally had another baptism! Jussara is the wife of Alexsandro, who is a member. She was really excited to be baptized. When the night arrived she was so happy and felt the spirit so strong. My companion and I did a musical number for her. She was crying the whole night! After, we gave her a Book of Mormon with a little note, and a copy of the plan of salvation that we made for her. It really meant a lot to her, because her father died and this is what led her to want to learn more. I love moments like this!
Well my time is up. I will have to write more! Have a great week and I love you all!

You can take some of the sunshine here. We have actually had a lot of rain, which is absolutely wonderful! The only problem is that with the rain comes mosquitos, and they loooove me! I have bites all over my body! They especially like my bum, which is really uncomfortable because it itches all day. I guess i have some sweet american blood!
