Oi Família!!! Well, I don´t have much time to write, but I will
tell you all that I have been really sick these past few days. I´m not sure from
what, but I think it was a cause of dengue--a mosquito bit me that carried an
illness, and I have been almost bedrest because of how much pain I have been in
each day. Literally, I didn´t have any strength to walk or stand up, and I had a
high fever, and chills consistently that didn´t seem to be going away.
Yesterday, however, we called the President´s spouse, and she told us to buy a
certain type of medicine, and the medicine has been helping me so much that this
morning I woke up only with a bad stomach, but the pain in my body completely
went away.
I was able to go to the temple this morning because of this miracle.
I know that the Lord has been humbling me because of this tough trial, and there
is a reason that I had to pass through this pain in order to Remember Him.

I was shocked to find out that Ben had to get his appendix out this week. I can´t imagine the pain he must have gone through. It is in tough times like these that we remember who is in control of our lives, and we remember that we are filhos de um Pai Celestial who loves us very much.
Sister De Oliveira has only two transfers left before her mission ends, and
so she will finish her mission here in Casa Verde. She is super experienced, and
teaches by the Spirit with a huge smile on her face, and is a delight to work
with. I have never had a companion who has worried about me and my physical
health or emotional health as her. While I was sick, she served me, and kept
asking me how I was doing. She taught more than necessary in lessons when I
really didn´t have the strength to teach. She was truly a angel to me as I
passed through this difficult experience. She also knows a lot of English, and
has passed through Chicago briefly, and has eaten Chicago popcorn! She wants to
study in BYU after the mission. She is super cool, and you all will get to know
her this Sunday!
As for Leticia, she is super happy to be able to be baptized this weekend!
We are still figuring out what day works best for her--Saturday or Sunday
because Sister Cellurale wanted to see her baptism, and Leticia really wanted
her to be there too.
I´m not sure if I have already told you all about Lucas, but he in another investigator who will be baptized on May 15, and is progressing a lot. He attended Church these past two sundays, and he was a miracle investigator (is 18 years old). I´ll tell you all more about him this Sunday, tá bom? Love you all!!!
Boa Semana!!!
