It’s a new transfer and it is going to be a great one!!! Seriously! 

At first I was freaking out...really! And then when we were all at the Rodoviária I found out I was companions with a sister-training-leader, Sister Moura...I wasn’t too worried. Then my new Zone leader was like "Sister Perez, Sister Mitillo is also your comp and she’s finishing her 12th week." So I’m with a Sister Training Leader (a trainer) and a trainee and then I’m sorta just awkwardly there.... But hey positivity is key! I was going to make this a great transfer! So we all got home (and might I add that we don’t have a bed for the third sister) planned our week and started working. Oh boy...this is going to be the best transfer by far!!! Everyone says being in a trio is hard...ha, not! I love being in this dupla e mais uma! We all have awesome ideas and we all want to work super hard and we all have the same vision! As of right now we have 5 people on date for baptism and one is for this week! We are totally going to slay this area this transfer!!! 

Alma 32: 
41 But if ye will nourish the word, yea, nourish the tree as itbeginneth to grow, by your faith with great diligence, and with patience, looking forward to the fruit thereof, it shall take root; and behold it shall be a tree springing up unto everlasting life.

42 And because of your diligence and your faith and your patience with the word in nourishing it, that it may take root in you, behold, by and by ye shall pluck the fruit thereof, which is most precious, which is sweet above all that is sweet, and which is white above all that is white, yea, and pure above all that is pure; and ye shall feast upon this fruit even until ye are filled, that ye hunger not, neither shall ye thirst.

43 Then, my brethren, ye shall reap the rewards of your faith, and your diligence, and patience, and long-suffering, waiting for the tree to bring forth fruit unto you.

We are aiming high and testing our faith with all the people we meet and all our members!! We will see miracles!

Ruben note: The FIFA Soccer Copa Mundial Tournament is having a toll on missionary work because missionaries have to stay inside most of the time on game days! Unfortunately, Robyn’s letters are very short for lack of activity!  

 

Nothing much happened this week. Seriously...the game and some holiday and a zone meeting made it impossible to work this week. But we did have a super awesome baptism! Alberto e Ariane! They are the cutest family ever! They already started talking about getting sealed in the temple and when their little baby will serve a mission!! Yeah, they are perfect!! Other than that things are good...we are working a lot with menos ativos and finding new investigators. This coming week should be better!! And hopefully I’ll get rid of this cold!!

        

Sister Missionary Photo Shoot

So I'm just sitting here (attempting to write my farewell talk, but its not happening) when my AWESOME sister-in-law sends me the pictures we took for my "sister missionary photo shoot"! (and the farewell talk goes out the wind!) Once again Lena exceeds all expectations and of course I am in love with ALL of the pictures! It also made me realize that I am seriously about to leave for my 18 month mission...WOAH! Time has seriously flown by, but I am just so ready. Well here are the pictures...and if you want to check out my sister-in-law's other photography here is here blog (You'll love her work, trust me) http://www.photographybylenamarie-blog.com!! Now, time to get back to that farewell talk!
