This last week was really good. We only had 2 full days to work because of general conference. We also had a service project that took all day. The ward here is adopting a Venezuelan family this week, so we were helping get the house ready for them. They are a family of 9, the parents and their 3 children and both sides of grandparents. We are all excited to get to know them. My new companion is great. He is from Chile but has lived in Brasil for 6 years so he already talks well. He also has a little over 3 months in the mission so he likes it when I joke with him. haha. We were working this last week and found a form in our house with some names and addresses in a specific neighborhood, so we decided to visit all that we could throughout the day. We knocked on a door and asked to talk to Fernanda (one of the names). But, when we introduced ourselves and asked if she remembered the missionaries that talked to her, she did not remember. She said that she had never talked to missionaries before and that she had moved into her house a few days ago. She also said that the person that lived there before was an older man that had passed basically his whole life in that same house. So we got a little confused on how there could have been an address of a person that didn´t live there at the time, and that now there was a person with the same name that had moved in recently. It was really cool that the Lord has everything planned out. Even though we may not have found the same Fernanda that was contacted a few years ago, we found one that is interested and excited to hear our messages. I was able to strengthen my testimony on how the Lord´s plan works in our lives and that each one of us is priceless. He never forgets or neglects us because of our flaws or imperfections. He will always make it possible for us to repent, change our lives and know a little more of his Son Jesus Christ. Just like what happened this last week with Fernanda, I have no idea how we had her address noted years ago, or how we were the first missionaries to talk to her, but I know that the Lord is always behind the scenes and making our lives better and better each day. I hope that everyone is well and was able to enjoy general conference. I am grateful to have you r support and love. Love you guys!
