We also had a Christmas activity in our ward on Friday
night and that went great! We had a lot of non-members there and Sister
Bundy and I sang again! We sang the primary version of Away in a
Manger, with some verse in Portugues and some in English, and everyone
liked it :)
On Saturday,
after waking up to two cockroaches in our room, Sister Bundy lost it
and called our District Leader, who sent a cockroach exterminator! So we
spent the whole day deep-cleaning our whole house and killing all the
bugs! It was a long day, but it was so worth it! We finally feel safe in
our house, which is such a blessing :)
Sunday
was the primary program in our ward and it was one of the sweetest
things ever!! Seriously, I just love children. And Brazilian children
seem to be the cutest children on the earth <3
Last
night we got transfer calls and...drum roll please...Sister Bundy and I
are staying together here!! If you´re surpised, don´t worry, so am I!
AND we´re getting two new sisters here to live in our house and we are
in charge of dividing our area and giving half of it to them!! This week
is going to be a little crazy with all the changes, but it´s exciting
to know that our area is growing and progressing!!
The
work is growing and progressing too, although still no baptisms. We
have so many people who are so close! I know that Satan works extra hard
on people when they´re trying to make big improvements in their lives.
But you know what? As we told Mar this week, Satan works with fear and
God works with love, and love is always stronger than fear if you really
believe in it. Which means that God is always stronger than Satan. So
when you´re feeling fear and doubting yourself or your faith, just
remember that immense love that God has for you. Perfect love casteth
out all fear.
I love you all and I´m so grateful for your prayers and support. You are in my prayers as well.
All my love,
Sister Doyle
