"É completa a minha alegria"/My joy is full (3 Néfi 17:20)

Such a good week!! I feel so immensely blessed. 

Yesterday Gabi was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ.  I could not be happier to have been a part of her journey. She is incredible and shared her testimony at the end and everyone was crying.  She said she had been lost for a long time, searching for the truth in many different churches but was disappointed or deceived every time. She prayed for years to be guided to the truth and now can see how she was led by the Lord to this church. Even if she didn't recognize it at first, she now knows that she was being led. It all started when she, as she was working as a Uber driver, gave a ride to the Munns, who are members and they talked about the church. I can't even express how special Gabi is to me and how happy I am for her. 

We started teaching this cuuuuute family and I love them so much. I love that even indoors, we're able to find people and the work cannot be stopped!!

We did a service project this week packaging masks. In Utah, anyone can request 1-5 masks and the gov't is providing them. They've sent I think like 2 million masks. We packaged thousands that day. 

We also did a service project putting together school kits for families who can't afford the supplies. It was fun!

It rained a lot this weekend, which was super fun.  We're just having a good ol' time. I love my area. I love my comp. I love our district! Oh yeah, we got 2 new elders in our area who were also both reassigned from Brazil! They're super cool and funny. And we can speak Portuguese with them :)  Big things happening in Winder 17th.

I know that life is crazy right now, but we can still feel joy independent of our circumstances when our joy is centered in Christ. Jesus Christ is joy!!  We can feel peace, when it seems impossible to feel peace because He is the Prince of Peace. I love my Savior so much. 

Love,

This is what we look like when teaching, in our "office" (the study room). I don't know why anyone would reject our video calls. I think we're pretty cute. 

Gabi!!!!!
