December 18th, 2017

Hey! So I bet you all know what I am gonna say. Yes, once again, this was another amazing week here in Araucária! Pretty sure I have never had a bad week cause the mission is full of #blessings. 
So first things first, I'm gonna stay here in Araucária with Elder Garlick this transfer! Super stoked about it! We have lots of baptisms planned out and I am super excited to be able to participate in them!

This last week we had Nayara´s baptism! It was a pretty crazy sequence of events but in the end it all worked out. During the week we were not able to find her. Her best friend, the one that gave us the referral of her, went to the hospital with some pretty severe heart problems. We couldn't find Nayara all week but randomly on Friday I was on splits with Elder S. Rocha. We called her and she said she was home so we stopped by and asked if she was still wanting to go through with the baptism this week! She said yes but also wanted Isabelle, her friend, to be at her baptism. We told her that by making the right decision to be baptized, God would bless her. So we called the DL and he interviewed her and we had her baptism. Nayara showed up at the chapel an hour before her baptism but we ended up forgetting some things at home and Nayara had told her parents the wrong day so we last minute ran across the city to her house to inform her parents of the baptism and ran back. I look way sweaty and nasty in the baptism pics but sometimes in the mish we do crazy things!
 
Summer is in full blast and its like 100 degrees every day here now with 100% humidity. Christmas or 4th of July? Super excited to stay with Garlick this transfer! He's a stud! 
This week we had our Christmas conference which was way fun! President had this restaurant cater a huge feast! It was way great! life here is amazing as always and I am loving this city!! 
Merry Christmas to all!!
