 hi! 

my week

-baptism of Darlan

-Tabernachle Choir

-Cannon bday

Monday night we went and visited Darlan and invited him to be baptized. it was such a great night with the Spirit, and we were all so happy. you can just tell on his face!

pure joy. 

& on sunday he was baptized!! 

I promise he was happy

when working the favelas this week, someone threw a beer can out the driver seat window on the road while driving, and an old lady on a bike went and picked it up and I told Sousa, aw that's so sweet, she's cleaning the road! 

she was not cleaning the road...

quick jots:

-tried real açai (0/10) 

-worked with Carol who's going on a mission to Japan

-de Sousa hit 4 monthss

-Tabernachle Choir

-interviews w pres 

Saturday night we went to the church and watched on the tv the Tabernacle Choir presentation that was held in Brasil. the second time the choir came to Brasil. 

to be honest, before we went, I was feeling kind of off like just trunky haha. Like wow, I can't wait to go home. 

But it was so good. I felt so patriotic for Brasil, so much love and pride. 

for the past three months the song, "I Believe in Christ," has been my saving grace, and the very last song they sang was, "I Believe in Christ" half in English, half in Portuguese, and it felt like such a personal tender mercy, and I felt so seen. 

It was so good. 

they also had a really famous Brazilian singer sing with them, and one week before she was performing at Carnaval. 

kind of iconic

Carnaval to Mormon choir pipeline goes crazy

my favorite movie ever is Mamma Mia and Donna sings the line

that's the theme of this week

Cannon knew his birthday deserved a baptism and I know he completely orchestrated this because it was a little too seamless. 

we found him under two weeks ago from knocking doors, and on Monday when I invited him to be baptized, before I could even finish the sentence, he accepted 

I know I have been blessed with angels on both sides of the veil. heaven and earth side.

I want to invite you guys to look for your earthy angels and love them a little more and also to try this week to be someone else's angel.

Treat everyone as if they're going through a huge problem. more than half of the time, you'll be right.
