Welp my comp came back negative from his Covid test so we were free!!!
This week FLEW by it's actually been insane. Probably the fastest week of my mission!
We helped out our investigator named Kevin take out a tree in his yard, it was pretty epic and some real good service, I loved it. They were huge trees, it was pretty sick and eventful.

We ARE SO BLESSED. Do you ever realize how blessed we are to know of The true church and Gospel of Christ?? There's a very few number of people in the world who have the knowledge that we have!! Share it!!
We got to give such a good message after dinner to a whole bunch of people who didn't know much about the church! We shared some scriptures on peace and I added something's about prayer as well.
It was so cool and I felt guided by the Spirit. It was sort of like that feeling you get when you're in a testimony meeting when your younger. It was such a cool feeling and anytime one of us missionaries shared something the Spirit came right back. Super powerful.

We got to have a Bible study with Sis Lindsey who is the sweetest old lady in our ward. It was a good time and I highly recommend you check it out 
I had quite the number of weird dreams that I remembered this week and I'm interested to see if they are telling me the future or not but I guess I'll just have to wait and find out.
I love my mission!
I am very, very blessed.

Boy oh boy y'all ready to hear about the greatness of God??!!
Saturday was a great day. We did some service taking out some trees and halfway through the day some Sisters in our zone asked if anyone spoke Portuguese and I, being the only one who did, spoke up. They got in contact with us and told us how they had a member who ONLY spoke Portuguese and she was in need of a Priesthood blessing. Her husband was in the hospital and he speaks Portuguese and English but he's really the only one near with the Priesthood AND Portuguese. She was in dire need of a blessing of comfort and guidance. I was pretty nervous throughout the rest of Saturday but in every prayer I said I asked for guidance and help with my Portuguese. I started listening to conference talks in Portuguese so that I could actually remember how to understand it. I asked my language group on Facebook messenger for any tips as well and an Elder told me to write down what I might say. On Sunday I fasted and prayed. In the morning I prayed some more and gained revelation on what I needed to say during the blessing and wrote a lot of it out. We headed over to the lady's apartment with the sisters and I'm the only one who can communicate with her. She recently moved her around a year ago and hasn't learned much English, as well as being a newlywed. They had just moved into the apartment as well! Still had no furniture! From the second she opened the door we were in conversation. It was insane. I spoke fluently, regularly and understood her completely!! As if I had never left Brazil at all!! We got talking and she asked where I served and I said in the Campinas Brazil mission and she was like wow no way! I'm from Paulinia!
Well folks guess what, Paulinia was the area next to mine and was in my DISTRICT!! I went there every single week!! How crazy!! We talked some more and she knew quite a few members from my ward, and was close friends with them! It was crazy! She is super good friends with a member named Leda and we as missionaries went over to her house every Sunday to have FHE, almost my second family!! Absolutely the plan God had in mind and I'm beyond grateful. I gave her a blessing and it went very well and The Spirit was as strong and guiding as it could be. She even shed a tear or 2 and I could feel her gratitude!
It felt amazinggg to speak Portuguese again and knew it was all because of the prayers, fasting, preparation, and guidance from the Holy Ghost.
I was honestly at a loss for words for the rest of the day.
God is aware of you and has a plan for you, He is preparing blessings that you couldn't even imagine.
God is good.
