FAMILIA

I will be staying in Eucaliptos!! Sister Laurenz from Argentina will be my new companion and I could not be more excited to be able to continue working in the best ward in Curitiba. I know that God loves us and knows us by name. I was able to feel so calm and comforted during this change and I am sure that there are people that will continue to help me change for the better!

Today I slammed by thumb in the door. Lol. but its fine because irmâ Norma was on her way to the hospital to drop off her son, they have hospitals where you can go for free and its really cool, but anywho. When we were getting out of the car at the hospital parking lot sister santos slammed the door and my thumb was in the way. So that is how we ended our transfer. Hahah, but I love her a lot and I will miss her!

This week was full of a turn of events and lots of family home evenings and I love preaching the gospel. 

So we were clapping at the houses at night, right before one of our family home evenings when this cute lady came out que se chama Goretch. She has the biggest house and she told us that she wouldnt come to our church. But that doesnt even get to us, and I said that that was fine and that we just wanted to help her faith grow! She is really catholic and has the biggest heart and let us in! She normally isnt home, because she has a pet shop, so obvioulsy Heavenly Father guided us to her! But thats not even the best part. Not even 5 minutes after we had entered Leonardo came in. He is a friend of hers who has been less active in the church for a few years. He is literally the nicest guy and use to go to the other ward that goes to our same chapel! He was super open and will actually be having a baby with his girlfriend in a few months! It is crazy how perfect Gods timing is and how sure I am that He loves His children.

The next day we were at a members house, Lucimara, teaching her non member husband, Antonio at 8pm when the doorbell rings. Guess who it was! Leonardo!! DE NOVO! AGAIN! Funny, né? Ah. I love this gospel and I am thankful for the opportunity to meet those who Heavenly Father is literally preparing to come unto Him!! 

Also. Met 32 year old Paolo from Haite who we met clapping at the gate of this church..bom. Its a house but there was a sign in front saying Igreja de Haitee anywho..He is the nicest guy and he started speaking english with me! I dont know how people are so talented and manage to speak various languages. But I learned that my english has a lot of working on and that people really are so great. 

AND THEN. We have a recent convert Dy, who started smoking again a few months ago and she has really been struggling with it. She we passed by her house and she had the greatest story to tell. The day before she had received a priesthood blessing to help her stop smoking. The next day when she went to smoke she felt super sick and nauseous as she put the cigar in her mouth! She literally got sick and wasnt able to smoke! WOOO! GOD LOVES HIS CHILDREN! I shouldnt be so excited about her feeling sick, but if that is what needs to happen to help her stop then so be it!  

I love you guys and I know that God loves you guys. I couldnt be happier and more ready to work. Falta só tres meses. Ah minha nossa. 

Have an amazing week and study the scriptures and talk with your father in heaven. 

grande abraço,

Sister Albertoni
