E aí galera!! Tudo bem??

Another great week has FLOWN by! 

We went on a super pretty hike in Cottonwood Canyon called Donut Falls. It was pretty cold in the the canyon. The waterfall was beautiful. It had just rained so it was a bit slippery, but so so fun. We ate our lunch on the trail like the legit campers we are. #nature 

This week we met lots of families in the area and are trying to find new people to share the greatest news ever with: that there is a God who loves us and He has restored His church on the earth today! We have a lot of fun knocking on doors of people who were taught in the past. We've met some fun people! I'm coming to realize how (relatively) diverse Salt Lake is! We've met people from Angola, Ghana, Yemen, South Sudan, The Congo, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Bosnia, Somalia, Portugal and Brazil of course. It's crazy! 

For the 4th we got Brazilian style hot dogs at a food truck owned by a member in our ward. It was soooooo good. Complete with mayo, mashed potatoes, peas, corn and cheese, it was delish. 

Our shower broke last week! The faucet just came straight off and when we tried to put it back in place, and turned the water on, the water pressure shot it off again. So guess who showered using buckets for about a week. 🙋‍♀️ At least it was hot water. It finally got fixed on Friday.

We also met John Bytheway this week! He lives like 2 minutes from us and we had to stop by to pick something up and talked to him and his wife for like 30 minutes! They were so nice. He used to be our Stake high councilor over missionary work but was telling us he just got called to be on the General Young Men Presidency so that's kinda exciting. His daughter's getting married tomorrow too and they invited us to the drive by reception, lol. 

This was something our mission president's wife read in a devotional. It's Mosiah 15:14-16. This is to all my missionary friends out there (and you know, every member a missionary!) In crazy times, the Lord needs US to "publish peace." To let the world know that it's all gonna be okay and this is all part of the Plan. All those who continue to declare peace to the world, are an example to the world, an ensign to the nations. And I know Prince of Peace Himself is so pleased when we do so.

I love you all!! It's all gonna be okay!

And these are they who have published peace, who have brought good tidings of good, who have published salvation; and said unto Zion: Thy God reigneth!

And O how beautiful upon the mountains were their feet!

And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those that are still publishing peace!
