Baptism of Carlos, Diogo and Eduardo; Special conference coming!


Olá querida família!!

How are you all doing? I can´t believe that another month is already ending…April is already almost here! April is a month that I love :) Spring and birthdays and Easter and General Conference!!! Everything that I love. And this month is going to be even more amazing this year because Sister Corrêa and I received amaaaazing news this last week…..on April 29th we get to travel to Porto Alegre for a special conference with all the other missionaries of BOTH missions, Porto Alegre Norte and Porto Alegre Sul for a special visit from………………Elder D. Todd Cristofferson!!! :D :D I am very excited!!!

This week was wonderful! On Friday, President Pavan came to Santa Cruz and gave a great training about how we can help the members in our ward develop Mission Plans in their families to become more involved in the missionary work. It really is amazing the difference that it makes when the members become excited about sharing the gospel with friends and family.

The best part, of course, was being able to see Carlos be baptized! He is such a great person and example to me. Carlos has a lot of faith and desire to do what is right. He told us that he felt so happy and blessed to have found the truth and to start a new and clean life. :) On Saturday he and two of his sons, Diogo and Eduardo, were baptized and now the rest of his family are excited to follow his example! Kátia has completely stopped smoking and told us that she is ready to prepare to be baptized on April 9th :) What an amazing and special family….

Today was a great P-day! Aline, a young woman in the ward who always is helping with the missionary work, took us to all the tourist attractions in Rio Pardo. I didn´t know that this town was so historic!! Apparently Rio Pardo is one of the oldest cities here in Rio Grande do Sul…we visted museums and forts and then finished eating ice cream in the park. It was very fun :) I love ALINE!!! :) It was great but also left us with little time to write letters and emails….sorry!!

I hope you all know how much I love you and am thinking about you every day! Thank you for your prayers and emails….I know that this gospel is true and that we are so blessed to know that Heavenly Father has a perfect plan and a perfect love for each one of us J

I love you!
Love,
Sister Jamie Gee
