This week Corina was baptized and everything ran smoothly. Her granddaughter who is 9 and not a member bore her testimony and it was cute :) We are going to Troia today to the beach to play soccer with all the elders and other sisters! Man I love those guys! :)
And our ward mission leader Tiago got his mission call to Cape Verde :) yaaaa cachupa!!!! Still enjoying the nice weather here!! A man asked me to marry him... creepy.
The mission is full of adventures! 😂

BOM DIA ALEGRIA!
This week I got a companion... and she is going to stay. Sister Vanaquer is from France... and she makes really good crepes - fun fact :) Ana was able to be confirmed yesterday before church. Her boss moved her schedule unexpectedly and she had to go in right at the same hour church starts, so we called bishop and he said she could be confirmed before she went into work. It was a beautiful blessing and she was happy that it all worked out and so were we :)
Other than getting pooped on by a bird this week, the week was pretty good :)
I hope you are all doing wonderful!
Love, Sister Jarnagin

Our sunday lunch
The week where I had 5 companions...
So that pretty much sums up my week. My companion, who was called as a member missionary, left so I was in a trio with the sisters I live with. Then they decided to have a sister whose companion had sugery be my companion for a few days, but she is leaving today and I am getting another companion and she is French which will be fun... crepessss 😉 ha ha
Even though there was a lot of change this week, ANA WAS BAPTIZED 😄 She was able to take Sunday off of work so she could come to all of church and then be baptized after. It was pouring rain yesterday morning so we organized a ride for her with members that live on her street and they invited her to eat lunch with us after the baptism. She loved church and she was able to participate and share why she wanted to be baptized. The baptism was wonderful! She looked so beautiful in the dress and she told us when she came up out of the water she felt such a peace... and wanted to stay there a little longer. Lots of members stayed after church for the baptism even though it was a fast Sunday and we were all hungry. We did a special musical number for her and I played my Uke and we sisters sang :)
We had a family home evening with her, Aldo, and our members at the members house... and it was amazing. Aldo isn't a member and he wants to be baptized, but is wanting to put other things above it. Ana brought the spirit into the room so strong. She told him that when she was choosing to be baptized she just had to act, and that she knew that Heavenly Father would prepare the way for him. When we were leaving, I gave her a hug, and she started crying and thanked us for helping her find a new life. I am so very grateful for her... It is hard to express how I feel. I don't know if I believe that there is that one "someone" you are supposed to find on your mission, but I know that Ana changed my life. Heavenly Father´s plan is so perfect.
Com Amor,
Sister Jarnagin
