hello,

Sorry I was not able to email until now.. we had bank holiday and it was the Queens Jubliee so it has been crazy and then we had a zone conference in Bbristol onTthursday, so we haven't had a chance to email. I have been dying all week to get on the computer. but things are going really good. man like so much has changed in me this week. It's amazing.  I went on an exchange on Wednesday so I had a new companion for the day and I had to lead my area. It was exactly what I needed. I learned so much. I don't really have a lot to write because I put most of it in my letter that I wrote home so hopefully you will be getting that soon.

One exciting thing for this week.. the first one is about Vivaldo. He is seriously amazing. He is so strong and has had a complete change of heart. He is getting baptized tomorrow and I feel so privleged to have been able to be apart of his life and be able to teach him. I told you that we have been calling him to pray each night just because it's spiritual and he really enjoys it as well. He said his prayer in English and it was so lovely. He thanked Heavenly Father for Sister Binnie and I. He said that he feels like we were sent here just for him so that we could teach him and help him change his life. I got so teary eyed when he was praying because both of us just felt so lucky. and afterwards we were just talking and he was like one day I might be like you guys but an Elder!! We almost jumped out of the roof because we were so excited. It's amazing how the Lord just prepares people for the missionaries and all we have to do is give them the invitation to be baptized and the spirit does the rest. Man he is so great. It's fun to because he is not just someone we teach he is our friend.

There are just so many things I am grateful for. I can't even tell you how I feel because I am so happy. Sister Binnie and I were talking and we were like we can't even say how we are feeling cause it is so indescribable. It's amazing. I will let you know how the baptism goes on Monday when I write!! so sorry this letter is so short and Monday's will probably be short as well. but I wrote everything in the letters home so you should already have them :)

 

Also I got some letters and iI loved your testimony letter. Thank you so much. I can learn so much from you and dad! I just love you all so much and miss you still everyday.  Pres and Sister Shamo leave at the end of this transfer which is three weeks away. I am sad because they are so amzing but I am sure I will love the new pres and his wife just as much.

I love you all so very much and i hope that you are all so good. I love all the pictures! :)

 

Love Syd
