 March 25, 2024

Well, I typed out another great email and lost it again so I'm just sending this quickly to not miss a week and hopefully I'll be able to catch y'all up on the good things happening here in Uruguay another time. For now, I hope you all have a great week centered on Jesus Christ!! He lives!

Wherein Sadie Realizes What its All About

 March 18, 2024

Boa tarde!! 

This week was a cloudy, humid week so we sweated a lot! We had some great lessons, ate crickets, had a visit from members in 33, tried understanding Portuguese, started running again, got confused with pesos& reales, ate acaí, ate icecream at 10am (proud to have Groberg blood), felt the spirit, got rejected a few times, found some new people, had 2 baptisms, got sick, and found the beach in our area!! 

Every day leading up to their baptisms our friends Sahara and Junior prayed saying thanks to Heavenly Father that they were one day closer to being closer to Him. That's what it's all about, no? The baptismal covenant is about our relationship with our Heavenly Father. These kids grew up going to church because their father loved the gospel, but when he passed away, they stopped going. I know he is rejoicing in the Spirit world! 

God is good. All the time.

Life is good. When we let Him prevail.

Con mucho amor,

Now I'm in Chuy!!!!! Half of our area is in Brazil and half is in Uruguay! I'm here with Hna Richards and she's awesome!! We have 6 missionaries in our ward so first time sharing a ward and living with other hermanas!! I don't really understand the people when they speak Portuguese but we'll 

get there!! Yesterday we put four people on date and this weekend we have 3 baptisms! Please pray for Sara, Junior, y Lucas!!

I am so beyond blessed to be a missionary witnessing so many miracles every day! The few hard moments don't seem to last more than a few seconds before God sends something happy! God is so good.

"Called to serve Him, heav’nly King of glory, Chosen e’er to witness for his name, Far and wide we tell the Father’s story, Far and wide his love proclaim.

 Called to know the richness of his blessing— Sons and daughters, children of a King— Glad of heart, his holy name confessing, Praises unto him we bring."

Eu amo todos vocês!!!
