Book of Mormon Challenge

Hello everybody! 

This week was full of adventures. We had splits this week which was fun. I stayed here with a novinha, Sister Lima, from Brasilia. She´s super cute and it was a fun day. We took the bus to a far away area, and my shoes broke there. Also a man that I´ve been teaching since May decided that he doesn´t want to follow what we´ve been teaching. But Sister Lima was a great sport and it was a day abençoado. Later on Wednesday, we taught a kid named Heitor. He´s only 10 years old and has a lot of personality and he doesn´t really know anything about God, so it was a very interesting lesson. We laughed a lot. He has a lot of deep questions. Like if God is our father, does He have a girlfriend? And Joseph Smith is going to turn in God? kkkkk He´s super funny that kid. 

The elders in our ward had a baptism this week and we had a few people that we able to go and watch which was awesome! It was really sweet and the spirit was super strong. This week we starting reading the Book of Mormon as a mission. We´re going to finish on Christmas Eve. And we are super excited for General Conference! I don´t have any pictures from this week. Sorry guys. But I hope that you are all well, and I love you guys!

Hello everybody! This week was an adventure! As a missionary, everyday is a good day, but this week had a few different excitements. We had Zone Conference this week in São Vicente, which was awesome! With Presidente Harman, the conferences are a little more fun. We had a Book of Mormon jeopardy and district Cubatão won! hahaha. And I finally took a picture with Sister Harman. She´s super cute. And her portuguese is getting a lot better.  We had the interesting experience of visit an evangelist church. They tried to cast demons out of both me and my companion. That was a first. But yeah. I´m pretty grateful for the Holy Ghost and for the Restauração. Sister De Maria had her 1 monthday on Satuday and tomorrow i´ll have 14 months. It´s kind of crazy isso, mas tudo bem. The other pictures are of Sister De Maria with pizza and german pancakes with maple syrup, and Distrito Cubatão.  But that´s about it.    I hope you´re well and working hard and everything. 

Love vocês,

Sister Herron

Hello guys! Essa semana foi uma aventura! I´m training Sister De Maria!!!!! Woohoooo! She´s awesome. She´s from Forteleza, so I finally have a companion from Brazil again. She´s helping me a lot with my Portuguese. But this week was awesome. We´re worked até o pó. We had 6 people who were able to go to church this week, and it was Stake Conference too. This week was also super great because we were able to work better with the members and I think that´s why so many people were able to go to church. And this next week is going to be even better. It amazing how when you follow the Spirit, the day is always full of miracles. We get home absolutely exhausted, but with a great feeling. And that´s what drives us to do the same thing the next day.


Love you all and I hope that you guys are all doing well.

Transferências! De novo

Hello everybody. This week was super good! It was raining the entire week, but we worked hard. But we had transfers today. I stayed here in Cubatão, and I will train a new sister. She is going to get here tomorrow. Sister Torres went to Tupi (Ocian 2), which was my last area. For today, I´m with a sister from Nebraska, Sister Ames. It was a bit of an adventure for us to get where we are now. We got lost in Santos a few times, but it worked out okay. 

This week had a few highlights. 

1) Silvana told her husband that she wants to be baptized, but needs to be married first. She was very frank with him. It was awesome. 

2) We marched in a parade in Santos on Saturday. And that was kind of different. We couldn't try to make contacts with people, but it was fun. We sang Called to Serve and there were members with Pioneer clothing. 

3) We ate pancakes and Herron maple syrup with some members yesterday. 

4) I ran into a rapaz that I taught back in my first area. His family is still going to church, but they haven´t been baptized yet. It seems that they don´t like Elders very much so I´m trying to help them even though I´m in another area. 

5) Transfers! woohoo!

6) The training for the trainers with President Harmon was awesome and the spirit was so strong.

I'll send a bunch of pictures next week 

Love you all!!!!

O Profeta no Brasil!

District foto plus Lideres de Zona

Hello everybody!

This week was awesome! The prophet of God, President Russell M. Nelson came to Brazil! On Friday, he spoke to all of the missionaries here in Brazil from Brasilia. He talked about the power of the Book of Mormon, and the truths that we learn from the Savior himself in 3 Nephi. If you haven´t had the opportunity to read this account, I invite you to do so. Start in chapter 11. This part speaks of Jesus Christ´s personal ministry to a group of believers in the Americas.  Sister Nelson, Elder and Sister Cook, and President and Sister Aidukaitis also spoke and it was remarkable to hear what Heavenly Father wants us especially to know as missionaries here.

On Sunday, the same people spoke for all the people of Brasil. They were in São Paulo, so a lot of people including Silvana went there mesmo! It  was a  great spiritual experience. They spoke of becoming more like Christ, listening to the Holy Spirit, being more united as a people, teaching and learning in our families, making temple covenants, and the truthfulness of the Restauration. After the conference on Sunday, as President Nelson was leaving the stage, everyone sang Graças Damos o Deus por um Profeta, ou We Thank Thee o God for a Prophet. The Holy Spirit was so strong. Basically everybody was crying. And I am grateful for a modern day prophet. God loves us a lot.

Love,

Sister Herron
