WEEK 65: September 10, 2019 (15 months!) “TCHAU CAPÃO!!!” (Goodbye ,Capão)

me and Sister Mahoney with MARIA EDUARDA!!!

OIIIIII ALÔ!!!!!!

Sorry that I am one day late we had... TRANSFERS!!!! And I was transferred. I am going to what they call the "cemetery of the mission" because it is in the middle of nowhere and everyone goes there to just finish the mission. BUT I AM STOKED!!! It is called, "Bagé!" (about 30 miles North of the Uruguay boarder) Ever since I got on the mission I felt like I had someone waiting for me in Bagé. But now that I am starting my last 2 transfers, I thought that I would for sure not go there. So I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

This week was a little insane. I had to tell every family in Capão do Leão that I would be leaving and bah. I have never seen so many tears. It was really sad. All the families that are going to be married and baptized this next transfer. I am so sad to leave but I know that they are in good hands with a Sister Mahoney.

We also had a huge service project preparing a house for a new family of Venezuelans that are going to move here!! It was way fun. We put on a music and starting spraying water everywhere and cleaning and taking off paint from walls and everything!! It was a blast and a half.

We cleaned a house for the Venezuelans to live in!!!!

Anyways. I don’t really have any other news for now... but I want to challenge you all to pray for a missionary experience this week. I want to hear from EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU (rebecca.hammond@missionary.org) that you all had a chance to share this amazing gospel with someone this week. I know that if you pray for that chance, even in Utah, you will be able to have a chance to bear testimony of Christ and His church.

COM MUITO AMOR!!!

Sister Hammond

Those same families.
