Guarani

I love Paranaguá. 

So I lived with Sister Ferreira for 3 months in Fazenda Rio Grande and now we are companions for her last transfer in Guarani! We are basically the same person and I have never laughed so hard before. I am so excited to be able to work and serve with her for the next 5 weeks! Heavenly Father really does hear and answer our prayers and He loves us more than we could ever imagine. 

This week I met 32 year old Cristiano who is a big guy that we marked a baptismal date for dia 1 de April! He is so funny and is always smiling and happy and I have never met anyone so prepared and willing to accept the gospel. He always asks questions and really has a desire to learn and understand what we are teaching. We ot to his house 8:30am yesterday to walk with him to church and he was sleeping..but his roommate answered the door and 5 minutes later he walked out shirtless singing and asking if we could wait for him to take a shower. Normally people would just say that they werent going to come, but not Cristiano! We even got to church 9am spot on! He is literally golden and I am so excited to be here in this area! 

Get this..so normally my hair is pulled up because of how hot it is here. But thye other day as we were finishing a lesson I let my hair down and this 45 year old man (that we were teaching) told me that "Agora você é uma mulher de Deus" (Now you are a woman of God) and I dont think I have ever laughed so hard in my life. So now Sister Ferreira always wants me to have my hair down. Lol. 

I love this gospel and I know that this church is true. I know that the atonement is real and that we were not sent to this earth to suffer. I have never loved people so fast as I have here. Literally it feels like I am meeting my greatest friends and I cant think of anything better. Great things are about to come and the Guarani ward is about to grow! 

I love you all and I am so thankful for the examples you all are to me. 

Abraço, Sister Albertoni

They are so great and I don't know how I lucked out with the best areas ever.

We went to the temple a couple weeks ago and little did I know that I was meeting people in the ward that I would be serving in!  So now I am serving the the aula (ward) Guarani and these nice young men are in my ward!!!

Sister Ferreira and I did a division for a solid week when I got to Fazenda and we have been the best of friends ever since.

We sleep on the floor in the main room because of how hot it is in our bed room.  It's like a sleepover every night!
