Well it looks like I´ll be dying in
the area with the same name as the stadium where I saw Paul McCartney,
Rio Tinto. It was destiny. It´s beautiful here, out in the middle of
the jungle. People baptize like crazy in this zone, Zona Mamanguape.
People call this area the city of Enoch, so I guess it´s gotta be good
haha.. My companion is another Brazilian, Sister Marshall, and this is
her last transfer. She´s from Santa Catarina. I´m sad to leave Santa
Rita but I feel particularly good about the work I did there and feel
the Lord is happy too.
I´m having trouble sending pictures
again, but I was baptized! She was so happy and excited to do
personal progress, go to seminary and everything. She already wants to
go on a mission. All of our recent converts in that area are doing so
good, being taken care of and giving referrals and growing their
testimonies. We also planted a lot of seeds there. Sister Cavalcanti
got to stay and is training her new filhinha. I knew all week I was
leaving which was the worst thing ever, President told me at interviews.
It´s been a great month for
the Moore missionaries! I love Andrea´s story. She´s so brave to go
against everything her family´s taught her to follow the truth. I wish
everyone had that courage. We just have to teach in a way that we add
to the truths they already believe and not take anything away from them.
A lot happened this week.. but after
transfers my mind goes a little blank. The church is still true. One
of my favorite conference talks that´s helped me on my mission is
´´Accepted by the Lord´´ from April 2013, by a seventy who´s name I
never can remember. Always seek the Lord´s acceptance above everything
else. I have been focusing a lot more lately on really what the Lord
expects of me, and I´ve been really grateful to see that a lot of
promises in my patriarchal blessing and my setting apart blessing have
already happened. I don´t always understand the Lord´s mind, but every
experience I´ve had has helped me to be a better peacemaker, be able to
boldly share my testimony, and prepared me for the future things I´ll
face in life.
I love you all so much! Have an awesome week!
Com amor,
Sister Moore
