Hi Family!! So, I don´t have too much time to write, but I quickly wanted to tell each one of you that I love you! I pray for you each day, and I hope you are enjoying the end of your summer!!
This past week it was randomly super cold for two days straight, and I got sick, lost my voice, and had a hard time talking during lessons and talking to people on the street. Luckily, my companion came to the rescue and did a lot of contacts on the street by herself. I realized that I take for granted fazendo contatos on the street and being able to talk with everyone on the street with a clear voice.
I´ve been able to realize from this trial that I love talking to every single person I pass by on the street because Heavenly Father always puts an elect in our way in His own timing.
This past week for example, we found a past investigator we were teaching, with his wife, on the Street. His name is Marcos, and his wife´s name is Elise. Actually, I´m just going to say they´re friends that live together because they aren´t married, and they live together because they have a daughter who is 15 years old who lives with them.
Anyway, this past week we marked a day to teach them, and we found out that Elise was really struggling with her daughter who is a bit rebellious, and always argues with her. She cried in our first visit as we told her there was hope to raising her family in righteousness. There was hope to helping her daughter make good choices in her life. She ended up coming to church yesterday, and she cried right next to us while feeling the Spirit from a talk about how it´s never to late to be rescued by the Savior (from Elder Uchtdorf this past conference). She got emotional when the speaker spoke of the lost last of the 99 that was saved.
A few pictures I want to share:

| We saw a man on the street yesterday wearing a BYU t-shirt,
so we decided to talk to him. His sister lives in the US,
and he´s already heard of the Church, but doesn´t want to know more.
