BRAZIL

I got my call to serve as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Saturday March 12, 2016 and opened it family and friends on Sunday March 13, 2016. I could not be more blessed. I honestly mean that from the bottom of my heart. I know that my Heavenly Father has a plan for everyone of us and I could not be more grateful for all of the thought and dedication that has gone into His plan for me. 

I have been called to serve in the BRAZIL CURITIBA SOUTH MISSION. PORTUGUESE SPEAKING. LEAVING JUNE 29. I can not think of anything more great or wonderful as the opporutnity that I will have to grow to know and love the people and places of Brazil. I know that I will meet people who are searching for the gospel and will accept it will open arms. I know that Brazil is where I need to go, without a doubt in my mind. I love the people there already. I am so excited to have the opportunity to get to know them and grow with them. I can not tell you how grateful I am to my loving Heavenly Father, who has lead me to where I am today. I know that I would not be where I am without the gospel. I know that as I prepare that I will be able to teach the gospel in Portuguese and that I will be able to be an instrument in the Lord's hands. 

I am so thankful for the love and support I have received. I know that this is the absolute best thing for me to be doing at this point of my life. I can not tell you how amazed I am that I will be able to live and preach in a beautiful place with even more wonderful people. I know that as I give myself fully to the Lord that I will be blessed everyday. 106 days, ladies and gents. 

Eu te amo, e a igreja é verdadeira
