Oiii todos!! How's everyone doing?? I hope everyone is enjoying the winter weather for me because this week was nice and toasty here!! Not sure if I'll ever get used to it but that's OK, this week was so good!!
This week was filled with finding out on Tuesday that ivanildo was moving to his own house so he could be baptized, and he was (on Thursday)
which was literally such a miracle because we have been trying to find him and Diegio a house so that he didn't have to live with his ex girlfriend and then also having some goals each day that we tried so hard to meet and Heavenly Father really blessed our path so that we could meet them!! We found the sweetest 12 year old boy that wants to get baptized and his mom told us she saw him reading the Book of Mormon when he was going to bed

He is so cool and it was such a blessing that we were able to find him and teach him! And his mom came to church with him to go to the baptism which was so good!! I learned a lot from being able to help Davi be baptized and I am so grateful for this experience!
Other than that, we are just trying to keep working hard each day and find the people God is preparing for us! We have transfers next week (this transfer was 2 months!) so we'll see happens!
But a little while ago, my mission president gave is the challenge to read the Book of Mormon cover to cover in 3 transfers looking for how the Atonement of Jesus Christ allows us to become like God and I just finished reading on Friday! I have read the Book of Mormon cover to cover a few times and each time is really eye opening but this was my first time doing it as a missionary and let me tell you, the Book of Mormon is so good!!! If you have never read it, I invite you to because it will change your life!! I have to come to know my Savior more and more each time that I open those scriptures and it is such a blessing in my life! I think a lot of times we think of it as extra work to read the scriptures but I want to change that mindset that I have had! It is a privilege that we have scriptures that teach us about Christ and how we can change and be better and become like Him! There's a scripture I love 2 nefi 25:26 "And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins."
We can find a remission of our sins in Jesus Christ and can find so much hope in our lives because of our Savior! I love this gospel so much and I love you all! Let me know if there is anything I can pray for for you!
Love,
Sister Howard
