Sister Alia Earls: Parabéns Sister Sosa!

Sister Sosa hit her year mark this week!

This week was pretty fun. Unfortunately, Kawan's baptism fell through because at the last minute, his mom didn't allow him to be baptized. I think I mentioned that his mom is a less active and she doesn't want anything to do with the church. She smokes and drinks and doesn't care much about her kids. It's really sad when people don't want to accpet and follow the gospel.

But good news is that we should be having a baptism this week. Laysa is the niece of the Relief Society president and she accepted a baptismal date for this Saturday. She recently moved here because her mother passed away. She has already come to church three times and she came to an activity on Friday. She loves the church and the young women and we're super excited for her! We taught her almost all of the lessons in one day because she had so many questions and she was really interested. When we taught about the plan of salvation, the Spirit was so strong and Sister Sosa started crying. I had to finish explaining the rest, but it was a perfect lesson :)

I LOVE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!

Eu amo vocês!

Com amor,

Sister Earls

P.S - So sorry these photos are pretty terrible...My camera broke :( It was actually pretty funny because the other day Sister Sosa went to grab her camera and it fell and the lens wouldn't open anymore to take photos so I went to grab my photos to take photos for the day but when I opened the case to see if it was working, my lens wouldn't open anymore either...My camera is pretty old and it's been acting up for awhile so I'm actually surprised that it's worked so well up until now. But good news is that we have a super cool member who has a friend who might fix our cameras for free! But until then, we have to take crappy photos on our cell phone haha Enjoy :)

Sister Sosa has to go to the dentist every week because there is a member in Jardim da Penha who helps all the missionaries for free when they have dental problems...So of course we take advantage of the trip and take photos :)
