HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST MOM IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!
WOOOOOOO GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE COLORADO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dia everyone! This week was nothing but chuva chuva chuva! (rain) so that makes us super happy because anything is better than the heat! (even if it means we have to walk in kind of gross water up to our shins haha) But still, it's a nice break from the sun and sweat in our eyes all day long.
This week....was a little strange, but good! We stayed half the week with the sisters from Acre in our apartment because they couldn't get a flight out. But it was fun to get to spend time with them.
I found out this week that one of my recent converts in Boa Vista is submitting mission papers! I can't begin to describe how happy this had made me!
This week we had a miracle! We were able to teach a family and invited them to come to church and they immediately accepted! Then, Sunday morning we woke up to POURING rain and my companion and I were discouraged because we didn't think they would be willing to wade in the water to church. But we decided to still call and remind them and they said, "Ya! We're all ready to go!". My companion and I immediately started dancing in our apartment because we were so excited. The children in the family loved Primary and they all talked about how much they enjoyed the meetings. The parents are Elavo and Samira. Please everyone pray for them - I have so much hope that they will continue to progress!
This week we also had training for the sister training leaders as well as mission leadership council. It was so great to see everyone and receive counsel from President Castro. The goal that has been set for this transfer is 12 baptisms per companionship. Craziness!
I'm healthy and happy and appreciate everyone's prayers and supports. It really helps me and I appreciate each of you! Love you all!
Sister Arbuckle
P.S. Thank you to my Grammy and Aunt Crystal for sending me packages!!!!! You are so thoughtful and amazing sending me my favorite treats and products! Grammy thank you for the anti-aging cream - I seriously need help with the wrinkles I'm getting from the sun! You are both the best! I have missed peanut butter and pop tarts so much! And my favorite candy is Twizzlers so that was awesome! I love the American flag headband - I will wear it and represent! Thank you both so much for thinking of me!
