Campinas Temple

Oi everyone!!!! 

It is officially my last p-day in the MTC! It doesn't seem real! I am so excited to go out into the field, but I am super nervous too!

Today was awesome! We had the opprotunity to go to the Campinas Temple! It is so beautiful!!! It was also so cool to see more of Brazil. Now I can say I have seen more than buildings because literally every direction I look in São Paulo there are buildings and more buildings. BUT Campinas is beautiful!!!

I just want to share a little experience I had last week proselyting. So, since I have no companion, last minute I got put with a Portuguese speaking sister! I was absolutely freaked out. I couldn't understand my companion or the people we were talking to, haha!! The sister I was with was really good for me though because whenever a person would be walking toward us she would give me a nice elbow in the arm and say, "Your turn." I was praying and praying that I would find someone that just really needed to hear our message.

We had about 30 minutes left and we were walking in this huge bus station, walking up and down and up and down the different rows. I saw this lady out of the corner of my eye and for some reason I was just drawned to her. She was just a normal woman, going about her normal day, but for some reason she stuck out like a sore thumb to me. My companion and I walked passed her and at first I thought "She probably wants nothing to do with us... plus, I don't want tell my companion to turn around." Luckily, I corrected myself and said, "Nope! We are talking to her!" So I yelled at my companion, "this way!" I approached the woman and greeted her and told her who we were. My companion then took over for me and talked to the woman for a few minutes. All of a sudden the I saw tears in the woman's eyes. We got her contact information and said, "Tchau!" I had no idea what had just happened, haha!! I asked my companion and she told me that she told the woman that she was important to God. The woman responded with, "I'm important to God?" And that's when the tears came. After that, I was so thankful I listened to the guidance of the spirit and had the courage to act on it. I pray that the woman can learn more about the church and learn more about how important she is!!! 

I just want you all to know that I know this church is true!! I love it with all my heart!! And I am so excited to share it with the people in Brazil!

I love you all!
