The Three Musketeers and Heroes!

I hope that all is going well for all of you and filled with blessings and joy. We had transfers this week and Sister Lara and I got a new companion. Her name is Sister Affonso. We are now a trio for a few weeks until her VISA comes for her to serve in Florida. We had another baptism this week for a fifteen year old girl named Luana! She lost her mom a few years ago and takes care of her siblings practically on her own and lives with her grandpa. She is extremely strong and serves others without a doubt in her mind. She loves God and thanks him for all of the things that she has. She knows that no matter what God is always there for her in every moment.
She takes care of her siblings most of the time . It was a happy and joyful day! The pictures are great too!

"There once was a hero who fought for whats right 

the fires of hope burned deep within. She was a hero

you see, for she tried to do good. But like any other 

person alive she had fears and weaknesses too. 

Its truly unfortunate that you and I also do not know

her challenges for only our true hero knows. Our hero 

faced something terrible, the strength of it great

more dangerous than a tempest more deadly than

the sword. But for the sake of thought and a clear 

imagination her challenge shall be a storm of great

power. 

Our hero faced a challenge to succumb or to fight.

But as for you and I we do not yet know the heros

final move. But we do know this our hero is a hero of 

courage and hope. The fires within her were capable 

of burning bright. The reason we know not our heros final

move is that it has not yet been decided. In the end of the storm

and through the dark night our hero is actually you."

Luana's Baptism - A joyful Day!

I hope this is not the new mode of  transportation for missionaries.

Remember that each of you are a hero and have more strength than you know! I know that God is with us even in the darkest moments when we feel we have hit the very limit of what we can handle. He is even with us when we feel like we don't deserve His love and help. Just keep pushing forward because you truly are the hero of your own "happily ever after" God has created for you. Have an amazing week! I love you all! Thank you for your love, support and prayers!
