Well this is it. I can NOT believe that this is my last email home as a missionary. I've been (and still am) in denial. A part of me feels like I'm just going to be transferred, not going home. I think it'll only really sink in on the airplane. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Of course I'm excited to see all of you at home (and eat Taco Bell, watch Star Wars, etc.) BUT I will leave a part of myself here on the mission. I have <i><u>loved</u> </i>every minute of my time here in Brasil. This has been an experience that has shaped who I am and who I desire to be. And it has given me the opportunity to help others come unto Christ which is "the most important work we can do in mortality." It's going to be a lot harder to leave than I ever thought it could be. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
But going back to that whole in denial thing. . . I'm going to write about my week as if everything was normal and I'm not "dying" (finishing the mission) this week.</div>

In our district meeting this week, Elder Amaral (our DL) [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: District Leader, missionary over a geographical area] asked me to give the treinamento. [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: training at their weekly training meeting] Which stressed me out because it's not something that I've ever felt comfortable with. Talk to strangers in the street about God = ok. Speak in front of my district = blegh. BUT I prayed a lot and spent some time preparing and felt that I should talk about the example of the <a href="https://history.lds.org/section/pioneer-story?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">pioneers</span></a>. We talked about their <i><u>faith</u> </i>and willingness to <i><u>sacrifice</u></i> and how we need these same attributes as missionaries (and members of the church). It was great because <span class="s1">everyone</span> participated. Everyone shared their thoughts and scriptures and it wasn't just me talking in the front. So we all learned together. And the spirit was overwhelming in that room. I know that the pioneers didn't go through all that they did for nothing. . . because of them we have the <i><u><a href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/restoration" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">restored gospel</span></a></u></i> available to us. And this <span class="s1">is</span> the true gospel of <a href="http://jesuschrist.lds.org/SonOfGod?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Jesus Christ</span></a>. I have no doubt about it. </div>

On Wednesday we watched the worldwide missionary training. [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: a training was broadcast to all the missionaries throughout the world] It was fantastic. And it was so cool to think that Pie [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: Emily, Megan's sister] and I were watching it "together." I learned a lot about missionary work and how to help people feel the spirit and feel desire to repent. And I saw Jaime Law (i'm 99% sure!) [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: a family friend] She was in a "focus group" type thing with a bunch of <a href="https://www.lds.org/church/leaders?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">general authorities</span></a> talking about various chapters in <a href="https://www.lds.org/manual/preach-my-gospel-a-guide-to-missionary-service?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Preach My Gospel</span></a>. Super cool.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
On Thursday I rolled out of bed and was practically still trying to open my eyes when the phone rang. Sister Gusmão answered it and said "you're joking. . ." She laughed and then passed me the phone and said that the assistants were playing a joke on us. I talked to Elder Tavares and he said that he wasn't joking and that Sister Gusmão had been emergency transferred to Natal. <i><u>What</u>. </i>Another sister had to go home early and they were one sister short over there so Sister Gusmão had to pack her bags and left Caicó by 9 am. It was rough saying goodbye to her, especially so out of the blue. But I know she'll love Natal and her new companion (<a href="http://sisteramyweatherford.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister W</span></a><span class="s1"><a href="http://sisteramyweatherford.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">eatherford</span></a>!!!!!!!!!!</span>) But I miss my filha. [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: daughter] And Sister Muria and I are feeling super strange with just the two of us. It seems like we just forgot Sister Gusmão at home or something. But I <i>love </i>Sister Muria and I'm so grateful that at least I'm still with her. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
People, a <i><u>miracle</u></i> happened in Caicó this week. It <span class="s1">rained!</span> Rained like it hasn't in a long long long time here. And it rained for the whole week. One day we were soaked through, along with everyone else in the city. And the dirt roads are muddy and full of holes and almost everyone's houses flooded a little bit BUT everyone is smiling and thanking God. Places that were dry and dead are now green and full of life. Rivers are full of water instead of dusty and rocky. Truly a tender mercy and an answer to many prayers. I loved seeing the joy on everyone's faces the first day that it really poured. We saw fully grown adults running around in the rain like kids, washing their hair in the run off from the rain, and everyone smiling from ear to ear. But also, for the first time on my mission I was freezing! I was going everywhere with a cardigan. Sleeping with pants and a sweater and a sheet and a blanket and socks. Waking up shivering and wrapping up in my blanket. Unreal. I was joking with Sister Muria that I think Heavenly Father was trying to prepare me for the colder weather at home haha. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
And speaking of the rain, a 9 year old recent convert told us what her schoolmate had said about why it rains. . . He told her that when it rains it's because "Mary is hitting Jesus." What??? Who taught this poor child? But we cleared things up for her haha. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We're teaching a woman named Dulce (I think I mentioned her before. . .) who was a referral from Irmã Rejane. She is amazing. She has gone to a lot of churches and wants to know which one is right. She is truly searching for the truth. We taught the <a href="https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/content/english/pdf/language-materials/36920_eng.pdf?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Restoration</span></a> this week and it was an extremely spiritual experience. She understood what we were saying and she wants to read the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/book-of-mormon" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Book of Mormon</span></a>, she wants to pray, she wants to know if it's true. And <i><u>my testimony</u></i> of the Restoration of the gospel was strengthened. As I bore my testimony to her I realized that there truly is nothing else in this world more important to me than what I was teaching her. The fact that Jesus Christ lives and that He established His Church, that through the church we can make sacred covenants to be able to return to our Heavenly Father's presence and live with our families for eternity. This knowledge is priceless. As I handed her the Book of Mormon I saw that she recognized that what we were giving her was much more than just a book. </div>

<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>We had a ward activity (theme: master chef) and I was chosen as a judge last minute. The first member came up to the table with his "dessert" and took off the lid and the smell of eggs filled the whole room. It was egg whites filled with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigadeiro" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">brigadeiro</span></a>, one peanut, and one m&m. The face you guys are making reading the description was probably really similar to the face I made when I saw it. And then I tried to play it cool and pretend that I really wanted to eat that chocolate filled egg, but I wasn't fooling anyone. Luckily the member told us afterwards that he had done it as a joke. And also the egg wasn't actually that bad, not something I would <i><u>choose</u></i> to eat, but it wasn't bad. </div>
<div class="p2">

<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>I pronounced Whitney Houston, wheechnee hooston this week. Congratulations to me. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>All that rain I mentioned means <i><u>a lot</u> </i>of mud. We were walking casually down the street chatting about life and whatnot and then out of nowhere I slipped. One leg in front, one leg behind me, pinwheel arms, a strange scream, and the <i><u>only</u></i> thing that saved me from falling face first in the mud was the fact the I managed to grab Sister Muria's arm and stop myself. It's dangerous out here haha. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Well I love you all and thank you for all the support during this last year and a half. And I want you all to know that I love this gospel and this work. Being a missionary is a sacred calling. I am honored to be a representative of Jesus Christ here in Brasil and I hope that I can continue doing His work back home. I love my Savior. I love His church. And I know the He lives, loves us, and is at the head of this work. </div>

We had a strange week this week. <i><u>Nobody</u> </i>was ever at home. Almost all of our commitments fell through...<i><u>but</u></i> I saw the hand of the Lord in our work. If one person wasn't home we found someone else to teach or do contacts. And we met some great people this week. Just a reminder to me that sometimes God puts us through "adversities" not only to help us learn but to truly bless us as well. (it reminded me of that article from the Ensign "<a href="https://www.lds.org/ensign/2015/06/the-path-to-palmyra?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">on the road to palmyra</span></a>" <i>perfection</i>.) [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: I think the link is the article she is talking about]</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Raimunda was our focus this week since she went to church on Sunday, but she was one of the many who was impossible to find at home. About halfway through the week she was there and we sat down to teach her. But then her neighbor, Felipe, showed up. <b>#minhavida </b>He was there to help hook up her dvd player or something, but not only did he not succeed with the dvd player, but he managed to completely destroy any sort of lesson that we had going on. He started telling Raimunda how her church is basically trash and then started talking about a pastor from another church and how he was corrupt, etc etc. And Raimunda got super defensive and put her finger right in his face and said that "Jesus is the God of gold, and silver, and money." hahaha. And I was trying <i><u>so hard</u> </i>to interrupt and calm everyone down but I could never get more than one word out before they started off on their Bible-less bash again. Finally Sister Gusmão offered to say the "closing prayer" so we could leave. But Raimunda didn't even give her a chance and started praying (hands in the air, yelling sort of prayer). and then at the end she shouted "now everybody say AMEN!" and everyone looked at each other awkwardly and whispered amen hahaha. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Going along with the whole #minhavida deal. I don't know what is going on this week but we were basically invisible. We talked to people and they just looked at us and didn´t answer. Or we knocked on doors asking if a certain person was home and they just left us their waiting for like 5 minutes and then <i><u>afterwards</u></i> said that that person wasn't home. You know that part in the second Harry Potter movie when Harry enters Tom Riddles diary and tries to talk to everyone but nobody heard him. Us this week. haha. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This week Sister Gusmão was a little bit down in the dumps because of how things are going in our area. She's frustrated. And combined with the fact that she's a new missionary it's been rough. But I've been praying a lot for her that she can feel happy on the mission. And the other day Sister Muria was having a hard time and was pretty sad, and instead of joining in on the pity party, Sister Gusmão started to cheer her up! It was such a tender moment and a real answer to prayers. I love my companions too much for words. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We worked with a lot of people this week who are giving up eternal happiness for really simple things. Coffee, buying things on Sunday, parties, etc. And I was reminded of the story of <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bd/esau?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Esau</span></a>. How he gave up his birthright for food. I get so sad for these people who aren't able to see the bigger picture and make small sacrifices for something of such great worth. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
On a completely worldly note . . . a less-active member had a birthday party and they invited us to stop by. The theme : STAR WARS. I geeked out hardcore. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I love you guys so much! Have a great week! </div>

This week we had a counsel meeting in Natal. It was <i><u>fantastic</u></i>. And also really emotional haha. We heard trainings from the APs, President, and Sister Soares. Sister Soares' training killed me. At one point she had us all take off our name tags and put them on the ground in front of us. And then she asked us how we felt...what made us different with or without the name tag, how we would feel if our mission ended today, etc. It was all too real for me. I love being a representative of Jesus Christ, I love having the authority that I have to teach the gospel and make promises to people, and I'm so sad that that's going to end. But it made me immensely grateful for the time that I have had (and still have) to serve here. My mission is the greatest blessing.<br />

To go to the counsel we shared a van with missionaries from Caicó and Souza. <i><u>Roadtrip</u>!</i> It was fun to be with everyone (including <a href="http://sisterbrowninbrazil.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Brown</span></a>!) on the drive there and back. But when we were coming home I started feeling really nauseous so I took some medicine. Remember how drugged I was after I got my wisdom teeth out? It was a close second. I was just staring blankly into space and laughing for no reason and not feeling my hands and feet, etc. Elders Collier and Phillips had a real good laugh at my expense. But on the plus side, I didn't feel nauseous anymore. <b>#minhavida</b></div>

This week we had a <a href="https://www.mormon.org/faq/ward-stake-branch" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">ward</span></a> activity that was <i><u>so fun</u></i>. It was "Show do Milhão" aka Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? But when somebody answered the question wrong. . . whipped cream pie in their face (and sometimes hair). We escaped the pie because we wrote the questions. But everyone had a great time and it really strengthened the ward. We ate lunch at a less-active member's house on the day of the activity. We invited her to the activity and gave her an assignment to help out. And she went! And on Sunday she was back at church! It was a wonderful experience.<br />

Raimunda // She's a member of an evangelical church but she recognizes that Jesus Christ only established one church and she has a lot of great questions. She <i><u>loved</u></i> church yesterday. So much that during <a href="https://www.mormon.org/faq/relief-society" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Relief Society</span></a> she stood up during the lesson and went to the front of the room, thanked everyone for their presence, and basically bore her testimony. Hilarious but also great to see how great she felt at church. </div>

Raquel // A woman who had stopped us in the street last week. . . just to ask where we were from and ask us to touch her hands? She showed up at church by herself yesterday! She told us that we were like "psychologists of God" and also said during Gospel Principles class that praying is always better "with corn". I don't know.<br />

The picture you sent of Prince George...he is the CUTEST thing I have ever seen. His messed up hair and winter coat are killing me. And the little backpack. Why is he not my child???</div>

I heard it rained over there! woo hoo! And it rained a bit here too. It's much needed in Caicó! I'm feeling really grateful. For the rain, for the members of the ward, our investigators, my companions, everything! </div>

Happy New Year everyone! So weird that it's 2016. I'm going to pass the first 6 months of this year writing 2015 on everything and then when I get used to 2016 it'll already be 2017. </div>

On New Year's Eve Irmão Rogerio and Irmã Suênia (the family that threw <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/06/week-43-brazilian-birthday-shout-out-to.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">my birthday party</span></a> in May!) invited all of the missionaries from our district over to his mom's house for dinner! It was perfect. I ate churrasco (BBQ) until I practically died. And President Nipson (from Mossoró) was here visiting so I got to see him and his family as well! AND my ex-investigator from Seridó, Davison, is Rogerio's nephew so he was there too. It was great to talk to him and have the opportunity to "teach" him again. I passed the referral to the Elders who are working in Seridó and hopefully it all works out with him this time around.<br />

On Wednesday this week we went on a little "road trip" to <a href="https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Fernando_(Rio_Grande_do_Norte)" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">São Fernando</span></a>. It's a nearby city, but it's part of our ward. Irmã Maria José lives there and our lunch was out there this week. The city only has 3000 people (Tesoro High School?). [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: that's about how many kids Megan had in her high school] But it's a cute little town and it's really open (all those pictures I sent of plains and grass and me in the street with a cat are from São Fernando). And Maria José brought a friend to church this Sunday so we'll be heading out there again this week to teach him!</div>

Sister Muria was MIA this week because we spent two days doing splits (exchanges? division? English blegh.). On Thursday she spent the day with an Irmã (Maria José, but not the one that lives in São Fernando) and Sister Gusmão and I worked together in a different part of our area. The next day Sister Muria worked in Ala Caicó with Sister Pace and Sister Silveira came to our area to work with us. It was really productive and great to work with Sister Silveira, but we missed Sister Muria. I love her to pieces. She always knows how to lighten the mood and make me laugh when I'm stressed. </div>

Miracle of the week // We were looking for din din (it's like a creamy otter pop. sort of). And someone told us that there was a lady who sold in them on the other street. So we got to the house and the woman was there. . . but there was no din din. Sadness. But we ended up talking for a long time with her. Her name is Marisa and she might actually be an angel. She has white hair down to her waist, she lives alone, and she is from the church, Congregação Cristão de Brasil. She was super nice to us and invited us in and gave us sweets and water. She showed us a room that she has in her house just to take care of people who are sick and don't have money or someone to take care of them. (she's perfect). And before we left she said one of the most beautiful prayers I've ever heard. The spirit was so powerful in that little house. We're excited to visit her again this week. </div>

We gave Marcos cevada (a replacement of coffee) for him to drink and when we went there this week we found out that his entire family stopped drinking coffee and is even offering cevada for their neighbors!! But we're worried about Marcos because he didn't go to church yesterday and we don't know what happened. Please, keep him in your prayers! </div>

+ At Irmão Rogerio's mom's house I was trying to get up from the table, and the table and chairs attacked me and I fell. Luckily there was another chair in the way that protected me from falling on the ground. But everyone got a real good laugh out of it. One of the elders even cried he was laughing so hard. Then the next day the Elders ate lunch in our area with us and I tripped on a metal bar when we were leaving the house. Again, lots of laughter from the elders. I don't know what everyone would do without me to laugh at. </div>

This week had some harder moments (yesterday morning in particular. . . almost nobody went to church). BUT I was overcome by the feeling that Jesus Christ truly does walk with us. He is at our side and His spirit will guide and console us in all of our difficulties. I have no doubt whatsoever that this Church is true. I feel so privelaged to have this knowledge. </div>

The first picture you sent of Christmas = PERFECTION. Mom your jammies are the best with the Leia buns. I'm dying.<br />
<br />
Can't believe the pictures from Grammy's house. LOVE. The family is crazy big. It's weird because nobody here has as many siblings, cousins, etc. I love our fam. Also shoutout to Owlex and Mary Ann for being adorable #trunky [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: "Owlex" or Alex is Megan's cousin that is getting married this week]<br />
<br />
I love that you took care of the missionaries. You guys are the best. You're sending good karma my way because the members here are showering us with love.<br />
<br />
So this week was super crazy and busy with Christmas-y things and of course our normal missionary work.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday we had the ward Christmas party. It was great. We did a modern interpretation of the <a href="https://www.lds.org/bible-videos/videos/parable-of-the-good-samaritan?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Good Samaritan</span></a> that was way fun but also passed along a good message. We (Sister Muria, Sister Gusmão, and I) helped out by being the "good samaritan" (Sister Muria and I) and a snobby rich woman (Sister Gusmão). Sister Gusmão was born to be on stage and she stole the show. We also got to eat some wonderful food and interact with the members, I loved it. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
On Christmas Eve we were invited over to Irmã Regeane´s house for Christmas Eve dinner. Here in Brazil Christmas Eve is a way bigger deal than Christmas Day which I'm still not used to haha. But it was great. We listened to some <a href="http://www.mormontabernaclechoir.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">MoTab</span></a> Christmas music, shared mission experiences, and ate some fabulous food. (again) Then the next day . . . <i><u>more food</u>! </i>If I didn't gain weight this week it's a Christmas miracle. We ate Christmas lunch at Irmão João's house with a bunch of his extended family and friends (including Sueneide and Alberto from the Seridó Ward!) After lunch the sisters and I sang a Christmas hymn (with the alto part courtesy of Sister Muria) and I really felt the Christmas spirit. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I was overcome with gratitude this week for the birth of our Saviour. When I was reading in <a href="https://www.lds.org/bible-videos/videos/glad-tidings-of-great-joy-the-birth-of-jesus-christ?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Luke about His birth</span></a> I read about the heavens opening and a concourse of angels singing "glory to God in the highest" and I felt that we were all up there. We were all singing and praising God. We were all overcome with happiness at the thought that our Saviour had come to the earth. I loved talking with everyone about Jesus Christ this week and focusing on the real meaning of Christmas. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
As for investigators, most of our teaching pool is having a rough time. Almost nobody is going to church (it's pretty dang far away from our area). We were teaching a wonderful couple and as we taught the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/restoration" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Restoration</span></a> the husband said that he felt that what we were teaching is true, but that <i>he didn't want to go to church</i>. He would accept us as visitors in his home but he doesn't want to change anything in his life right now. Heartbreaking. It's one of the hardest moments as a missionary. But I'm grateful for my district leader who gave me some great advice and helped me accept this investigator's decision. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
But enough with the sad stuff, in spite of this week being challenging, it was all worth it in the end because we had a BAPTISM!!!! Marcos was baptized! He is such an elect investigator (and now recent-coonvert). This week as we talked about the commandments that he would need to live, he acknowledged that it wouldn't be easy but he said "nothing is impossible with God. I just have to have the desire to live the commandments and self control." I loved his "<a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/gs/nephi-son-of-lehi?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Nephi</span></a>-like" attitude. "I will go and do the things the Lord commands!" His baptism was wonderful and I'm sure that he's going to be a wonderful addition to the ward here. The members are already taking him in and I'm so grateful for that.<br />

<b>+ </b>We were walking down a desert road, with literally just rocks and sand and in the distance we saw a boy with a bicycle and a washing machine on top of the bike. I was 90 percent sure it was a mirage. But it wasn't. The washing machine was almost falling off of the bike so we went to offer our help. The boy turned his back to us and kept walking away with the bike repeating the phrase "precisa não, precisa não . . ." (it's not necessary, or you don't need to help). And then he dissapeared on the horizon and it was one of the stranger experiences I've had haha. </div>
<div class="p2">

<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>We were doing a contact and the man cut me off and started saying that he was a Baptist. Ok. We kept talking about Jesus Christ and what not and he starts saying that he's a Jew. ??? Then later he throws in that he is in fact a Messianic Jew ???? And then he started talking about Salt Lake City pronounced (sayylch lakey ceechy).</div>

<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>We came across a little bird dying in the street. We wantedf to help but a woman said that a cat had been playing with it and there was no way to save it. And then a strange man showed up and said "He won't escape. He can't escape. Only his relatives will escape but he can't" </div>

TRANSFER WEEK //</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This week started out with a good 'ol #minhavida moment. Elder W. Silva called Sister Castilho and I on Monday night and told us that we would be staying in the area. And training. [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: when new missionaries come into the mission they are trained by more senior missionaries] In trio. [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: 3 missionaries together instead of 2] Sister Castilho started crying (from happiness? because she didn't want to be my companion anymore and was bummed? nervous about training? don't know haha). And I just started freaking out saying that President was crazy for having me train in my last transfer since I've never trained before and was starting to apply <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/3-ne/22?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">3 Nephi 22:1</span></a> as my personal motto haha. But . . . in the end he told us that he was messing around with us. (#missionarylife. We have nothing better to do than to pull transfer-themed jokes on each other).</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Then Tuesday came around. . . now it's the real deal. The transfer call. And when Elder W. Silva went to pass the transfer he started out saying, "Hey sister, remember yesterday?" And then he said "I prophesied. Sister M. Baker, you're a mom" What. . . And then told me that I would be in trio with Sister Muria (my co-mom) and we would train our daughter in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caic%C3%B3" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">CAICÓ</span></a>. hahaha. I honestly could not believe it. It seems like Heavenly Father wanted to surprise me so He had to be really really creative with the transfer haha.</div>

After lots of freaking out and nervousness and late night suitcase packing, I went to the mission office on Wednesday morning to pick up my new baby. (do you have an old baby section? #brianregan) [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: she's referencing the clip below from Brian Regan] </div>

I got there a little late because of traffic so I missed the "get to know everyone" breakfast part and I only showed up during President's training. President announced who would be everyone's companion. (Sister Savage and Sister Antunes are training too!). When he announced that I would be Sister Gusmão's companion she looked at me with the most disappointed face haha. But, now it's all good in the hood. She explained afterwards that she thought I was super quiet and what not since she hadn't gotten to know me during breakfast and she also heard that Americans don't like to shower lol.</div>

[<b><u>mom note</u></b>: Meg sent a bunch of pictures last week.

This week was the MISSION CHRISTMAS CONFERENCE! It was <i><u>perfect</u></i>. It's the only time where the entire mission is together so I got to see lots of old friends and companions. We had a fantastic lunch (and nobody <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2014/12/week-20-dear-diarrhea.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">got sick like last year</span></a> hahaha). Sister and President Soares talked to us and the spirit was incredibly strong. I was able to receive a lot of revelation for my life and work as a missionary. Each zone also did a skit which was hilarious. All in all a fantastic experience. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This week I was able to really recongize that God answers prayers. He listens to me and understands my needs and will <i><u>always</u> </i>help me. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
(hey momma, the internet café guy is kicking us out. blegh. but we're going to finish up our time after lunch. i promise this time.) LOVE YOU</div>

Sorry for the mix-up earlier. The internet café man decided to close early today and kicked us out. #anger</div>
<div class="p2">

<div class="p1">
But this last week of the transfer was a great one. I can't believe how fast this transfer <i>flew </i>by. Sister Castilho and I had a great time together and I'll be happy if lightning strikes in the same place again and we stay together here in Potengi. I'm nervous//excited//calm all at once about the transfer. It's fairly likely that i'll be transferred since I've been in the area more time, but it's also possible that I'll stay here. I would honestly love to stay. I love this ward and it would be nice to spend Christmas with members, investigators, recent-converts here. But if i'm transferred I'll accept it gracefully (I think). <a href="http://sisterbrowninbrazil.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Brown</span></a> is in Sousa...the only zone that I haven't passed in on my mission. She keeps saying that I'm going to "die" there with her. It'd be a blast haha. But honestly I'm happy with whatever happens. God's in control. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
On Monday night we had a slumber party with 4 more sisters (V. Lopes, Garcia, <a href="http://sisteramyweatherford.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Weatherford</span></a>, and Nunes) so that we could all go to the Christmas Conference together early early early on Tuesday morning. It was way fun. I love spending time with the sisters outside of zone and district meetings, it's great to get to know everyone better. Sister Garcia is new on the mission and pretty quiet because she's learning the language (good times), but I got to talk to her more. Her parents are from Ecuador and Guatemala (Sister Rios shoutout!), but she was born and grew up in New York. She's got great style, even as a sister missionary which makes me jealous haha. And she went to BYU Hawaii for two years so I'm almost positive that we have mutual friends, we just haven't found out who yet haha. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Tuesday was the mission Christmas Conference and it was <i><u>perfect</u>. </i>I remember last year I had been on the mission for about 5 months and was a little bit lost, and there was that whole diarrhea dilemma afterwards haha. But this time there was none of that (thank goodness). I got to see lots of old friends and companions since the entire mission was there. And I've got quite a few friends who are going home this week and they all bore their testimonies in the conference. Many tears were shed. But it's so amazing to see what amazing missionaries and disciples of Christ these friends are. I felt so grateful for all the people that I've gotten the chance to know until now on the mission. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
President and Sister Soares spoke to us and it was inspired and many more tears were shed. And Sister Soares asked for one of the elders to speak and he spoke about obedience. Fantastic talk. It's something that's been on my mind a lot this week as I've studied about the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/faq/atonement-of-christ" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Atonement</span></a> and Jesus Christ. I was thinking about how easy it is for us to shrug off the example of Jesus Christ because He was "perfect." But despite His perfection, it wasn't always <i><u>easy</u> </i>for Him to be obedient. Before He went through the Atonement for us, He asked God if there was another way to do that, but He knew what needed to be done and ignoring His own desires, He did the will of the Father. That's what we need to do. We need to forget our own wills and desires and do our Father's will. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Another fun part of the conference is that all of the zones do a skit. Our zone did a skit where three missionaries got their mission calls to "polo nordeste." Like the north pole (but Northeast of Brasil style). It was a riot. I got to be a "classic" mormon mom (aka fake pregnant in front of the entire mission. woot woot). Some other zones had some funny skits as well with imitations of President Soares, etc. It was a great way to have fun with the mission. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This week we spent a day in the sisters' area (Santarém). We slept over at their house and went and visited their marked baptism for this week, Jessica. She's about 20 and hilarious. She cracked a joke with us saying, "My baptism is tomorrow! I have to sin a ton today." hahaha. She was baptized on Saturday and it was a beautiful meeting. The spirit was so powerful as we sang the hymns, and as the ordinance was realized, everything. It was such a sweet experience and I'm so happy for the sisters. They have been working hard. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/12/week-70-take-brow.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Basilio</span></a> decided on Saturday that he wants to give up. He has the idea in his head that young people in all of the churches discrimate elderly people. We are trying to help him understand that people make mistakes and that we're all at church to be better, but he's having a hard time accpeting that. It was a hard blow. I know that the gospel would make him so happy, and he's such a sweet man. But I'm keeping him in my prayers, and yesterday he said that he's thinking about going to church next week. Hopefully it all works out for him. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
There was a less-active member who we've been visiting who was at church yesterday after a long time without going. I felt <i><u>so happy</u> </i>when I saw him sitting on a bench in the back of sacrament meeting. I thought of the scripture where Jesus Christ talks about the joy that is felt in heaven when one sinner is brought to repentance. [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/luke/15.7?lang=eng#6" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Luke 15:7</span></a>] I <span class="s1">know </span>that God knows and loves each of His children. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
My testimony was strengthened this week about the power of prayer. I prayed asking God for quite a few things this week, and He answered. He always answered. He helped me through feelings and thoughts and the words of other people. I have no doubt that when we pray God is listening and that He always wants to help and bless us. He just waits for us to reach out for Him. </div>
<div class="p2">

<div class="p1">
This week was a little challenging because Sister Castilho got sick with we don't know what and was basically dead for a couple of days (but all's good in the hood now). We're back on track. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
But last p-day (before the mystery illness had struck) a couple from the ward took Sister Castilho and I to a <a href="https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centro_de_Turismo_de_Natal" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">cultural/tourism center</span></a> in the city. Way cool. It was an old prison and now it's full of adorable artisan stores with clothes and bags and other classic nordeste merchandise. There was even a <i><a href="http://mcc.ufrn.br/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">museum</span></a>! </i>Granted, a small one, but the art history nerd in me was throwing a party. And I found <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordel_literature" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">cordel literature</span></a>! Dream come true since I've been looking like my entire mission! </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We're still working with Paulo and Basilio. No baptism yet, but it's so so so close. I think that the Lord is testing our patience haha. Basilio wasn't baptized because he was feeling really sick yesterday and didn't go to church. Paulo is still working out his doubts. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
But we're pumped because <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/11/week-68-this-week-was-perfect.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Paulino</span></a> is the <i><u>best</u>. </i>He's following up with Paulo better than we are. When we went to teach them yesterday Paulo said that Paulino had just been showing him a part in the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/book-of-mormon" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Book of Mormon</span></a> (<a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/31?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">2 Nephi 31</span></a>) and talking about the importance of baptism!! Paulo knows that this is what he needs to do, he just needs to have the courage to leave his doubts behind and step forward with faith. He's basically a member of the church already! This weekend was <a href="https://www.mormon.org/faq/ward-stake-branch" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">stake</span></a> conference [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: a twice a year meeting where multiple congregations meet together] and Paulino and Paulo went by themselves to the Saturday and Sunday sessions! And yesterday they even took their niece with them! Member missionaries! (well one member missionary and one investigator-missionary haha). </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
As we taught Basilio this week we saw that he was really blown away by the way to pray that we taught him. He's use to having to recite a memorized psalm or something else to be able to talk to God. So when we explained to him that we can talk to God by simply saying, "Heavenly Father..." he was blown away. It made me think about how amazing it truly is that God is so present in our lives and so easy to communicate with! I'm feeling especially grateful for <a href="https://www.mormon.org/blog/what-mormons-believe-about-prayer" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">prayer</span></a> and the power it has in our lives. I don't have any doubts that God does hear and answer our prayers. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
With Sister Castilho feeling sick this week it was hard for us to get everything done that we needed to. BUT our district reached out and all of them helped us so much. We saw missionaries sacrifice their time in their areas to come out and help us. I am so lucky to be serving with so many selfless and generous missionaries in my district. </div>

<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>The elders went to the beach with Sister Soares [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: mission president's wife] last pday and they brought back a seashell for us. It had the worst fish smell so Sister Castilho put it in a glass with water and soap to try and clean it out. When she took it out of the glass we saw that <i><u>there was still an animal inside</u></i>. It was dead of course. And stinking up our whole house. So gross. Sister Castilho was brave and used her nail file to get the little creature out of the shell. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>We were with a recent-convert this week and he looked at me and said, "Hey you fall over a lot for no reason. Have you ever gotten that checked out to see what the problem is?" hahaha apparently my lack of coordination is a diagnosable sickness now. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>One of our recent-converts saw the other sisters (Weatherford and Nunes) at stake conference and turned to me and said "why are the other sisters more put together than you?" It's a profound question that I will spend some time pondering this week haha. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>Since the Mission Christmas Conference is coming up Sister Castilho and I decided to get our eyebrows done. We went to a woman who we know and who has really fantastic eyebrows (which means that she should make ours equally as pretty right?) Well. . .I went in there with chewbacca chic eyebrows and I walked out with two toothpicks above my eyes. There's even a cool chunk missing of my left eyebrow to add effect. My vanity won out over my sister missionary "who-needs-to-be-pretty" attitude and I might have shed a good amount of tears. Sister Castilho kept telling me that it wasn't that bad but every time she looked at me she laughed so that didn't help hahaha. BUT no worries people. After many fervent prayers my eyebrows are quickly looking normal again and when I put a little bit of makeup over the missing chunk part you can't even tell haha. And I've learned a valuable lesson in trusting strangers with my eyebrows, even pretty-eyebrowed strangers. ps... throughout the whole incident I just kept remembering the time that Nate [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: Meg's brother] shaved off half his eyebrow before family photos. Like brother like sister apparently. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
[<b><u>mom note</u></b>: after laughing hysterically about Megan's situation I went into mom panic mode sure that she was destined to a life of bad eyebrows with no hope of ever having friends again, let alone a husband. Those that know her well know what her eyebrows look like when she raises them...can you imagine what they look like now?!?! Right? So I did what any worried mom would do and googled "how long does it take for eyebrows to grow back" in hopes of finding some light in this dark situation. Good news people! The number of days needed to grow back her brows is close to the number of days left of her mission. In fact, she's just about 2 weeks shy of the total days needed which should mean when she steps off the plane she will not have reached "Chewbacca chic" status yet. That's a plus! And even better news...we'll have her back in 8 Fridays!!]</div>

<div class="p3">
<b>Basílio :: </b>We went and taught him first thing this week. He's amazing! He's gone to a lot of churches in the past, but never felt like they were right. But he said that he loved church on Sunday, that he felt different there. We spent this week teaching <i><u>all</u> </i>the missionary lessons. He accepted everything. He is reading the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/book-of-mormon" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Book of Mormon</span></a> daily! And he told us that he never had the opportunity to study (he lived in the country before there was access to schools there, he's about 73!). But he wanted to learn to read so he <u><i>taught himself</i> </u>reading <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Psalms</span></a>. wow! He was excited to get baptized yesterday, but some people from other churches showed up and made him feel unworthy to be baptized right now, which is completely untrue. But he went to church and we're going to work with him this week and prepare him to get baptized next Sunday. </div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b>Paulo :: </b>Another one who was confused by what others are saying to him about the church and baptism. <i>But</i> he loved loved loved church yesterday and last night we went over to his house and had a wonderful lesson. It was truly guided by the spirit. We explained to him that all that truly mattered was if he knew that the church was true. We asked him about his testimony of the church, the Book of Mormon, the prophet <a href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/joseph-smith" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Joseph Smith</span></a>, and he said he knows that it's all true. So he's ready now to be baptized on Sunday. And <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/11/week-68-this-week-was-perfect.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Paulino</span></a> is helping <i><u>a ton</u>, </i>constantly bearing his testimony and making a difference in his brother's heart that we wouldn't be able to alone. Side note : Paulo and Paulino apparently think that we starve to death as missionaries and no matter how much we insist that it's not necessary they give us soda and cake <i><u>every time</u> </i>we go over there (aka almost every day). If I'm not transferred I'm going to have to step up my exercise routine haha. </div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b>Jatobar :: </b>He was way excited to go to church yesterday, but sadly we think that he drank and avoided our phone calls. But we're not going to give up that easily! We know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is what will make a lasting difference in his life and we're going to help him. We also met his twin sons this week, super well-behaved and polite young men. They said they want to visit the church too! </div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b>Louis Carlos :: </b>We were walking to a commitment and we passed a man in the street. I felt the most subtle prompting that I should talk to him, but in the time that I wasted to think about whether I would talk to him or not he had already walked by. But God is so good to us, and didn't let my weaknesses take away the opportunity we had to know this man. The man stopped in his tracks and <i><u>called us over</u></i>! He asked what church we were from and said that awhile back two sisters had marked a visit in his house but never showed up. Then he <i><u>asked us to visit him</u></i>. Talk about a dream come true. He couldn't go to church yesterday because he was working, but he said he'll go next Sunday!!</div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b>Jeronimo :: </b>Another miracle investigator who did a contact with us instead of the other way around. He works at a shoe store that Sister Castilho bought some flats at and asked if we were from the Mormon church. Then he said that he always sees missionaries walking by and had always been curious to know more about the church and wanted to visit it. He asked what time the meetings are at and said he's going to visit with his wife. And then when we left he said that he wanted to give us something to "make our lives sweeter" and gave us lollipops!!! Da best. </div>

<b>// thanksgiving //</b></div>
<div class="p2">
<b></b><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
So my Thanksgiving was turkey-less, but it was a good one. It started out slightly chaotic with a cockroach falling from who-knows-where and landing on my foot, and then Sister Castilho and I spent a good 40 minutes trying to kill it (I succeeded after a lot of screaming and smacking the ground with a broom). (#minhavida). But from then on it was a good day. And it was Elder W. Silva's birthday so we planned a party at Irmã Isabel's (from the Elder's ward) house. Isabel and her family are the <i><u>best</u></i>. They have 6 kids and all have either served missions, are on a misison, or have a mission call. I met their daughter Raquel when I was in Caicó because she was there visiting a friend and I <i><u>love</u></i> her. She reminds me a lot of Cassidy for some reason. [mom note: Megan's cousin] And it was their daughter who's on a mission's birthday too so we had twice the amount of cake (fine by me). It was way fun. </div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>// #minhavida //</b></div>
<div class="p1">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="p3">
<b>+ </b>We had a few more cockroach mishaps this week. . .we were opening up the gate/door at the bottom of the stairs that lead up to our apartment and there was a cockroach in the road. Sister Castilho is <i><u>deathly afraid</u> </i>of cockroaches and she kicked sand on it to scare it away. But instead of running away, it headed right towards me. I was in the doorway with nowhere to run and I'm now positive that cockroaches can smell fear. I was panicking haha. And Sister Castilho (who was very far away from the cockroach. <u>Very</u> far away) told me to suck it up and kill it because I was wearing <a href="http://www.chacos.com/US/en/sandals/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Chacos</span></a> haha. I managed to kill it and then my oh-so-brave companion wouldn't walk through the doorway until I had kicked the body away haha. In all the cockroach confusion, I lost a chocolate that Paulino had given us. I spent the whole night moping about my lost chocolate, and then the next day when we opened the door it was there on our doormat (where it had certainly not been before). God loves me and understands my chocolate cravings. Got to love the little miracles. </div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b>+ </b>I managed to burn my finger on our iron (but at least my dress was ironed on Sunday! That was for you momma ;) ) I ran around the house tying to remember the dos and don't's of burns. Is ice bad for burns? Should I keep my finger in a bowl of water? How would I carry a bowl of water to church?? Then my comp saved my life with some mystery cream she pulled out of her first aid kit and my finger is healing at the speed of light...love her. </div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b>+ </b>Basílio had his baptismal interview this week the the district leader and then the next day that we went over to his house he saw my CTR ring that I use on my right hand. (fun fact: when Brazilians are engaged they put the ring on the right hand, and on the left for married). And he asked me if I was engaged to one of those "professors" aka missionaries that he had met the day before. I died. And then he started going on about how pretty Sister Castilho is, and at the end threw in a pity "you're pretty too." (with unsaid "I guess"). Sister Castilho is a hot ticket item out here in our area haha. </div>

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Elf movie night pics. Looks like movie night has stepped up a notch...food, santa mustaches (so adorable). 5 stars.

Friends and family that are in town and aren't in a turkey coma are all invited to brave the cold (wimpy Californians) and come watch the movie]</div>

About your ding dong ditch...do you believe that I was thinking about those horrible flowers the other day and wondering if the war was still going on? Good to know that our family is in the lead. BEST ding dong ditch ever. I'm so proud to be a Baker right now. [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: we have a basket of fake flowers that get passed between us and some family friends. We had a 7 foot fake Christmas tree that the lights didn't work anymore so we decided to leave it on our friends porch along with a giant box full of packing peanuts and the basket of flowers]</div>

So FUN that you got to see Greg and Kate. Kate is so pretty...holy crap. And you had guac and salsa together. Salsa Sunday. I miss it so. [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: another family tradition...we have homemade guacamole and/or salsa every Sunday after church. Yesterday we had Greg (Derek's friend from growing up) and His daughter Kate (Megan's life long friend and freshman year roommate) visit it us at church and then join us for guac and salsa.<br />

<b>// BAPTISM //</b></div>
<div class="p4">
<b></b><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Paulino was baptized yesterday!!!!!!! (Paulo still had some doubts, but I'm sure he'll come around soon!). So it turns out their niece couldn't come to the baptism in the end. But the delayed baptism was good in at least one aspect. Paulino was at work and some guy walked up to him and said "Hey I heard you're going to the Mormon church. This church is from the devil blah blah blah etc." And Paulino defended the church. And he was with a friend from work Valdir who also started to defend the church saying that he'd been a member for 28 years and it wasn't anything like what this man was saying. And then the man felt awkward and left. (ha). And Valdir gave Paulino a hug and congratulated him. Neither of them had any idea that the other was a member/going to church. Irmão Valdir is from the Panatis <a href="https://www.mormon.org/faq/ward-stake-branch" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">ward</span></a> (super close) and I know his family and <i><u>love</u> </i>them tons. And he was able to not only go to the baptism yesterday, but baptize Paulino! It was so great.<br />

There was only a <i><u>little</u></i> mishap with the baptism (there always has to be at least one thing that goes wrong haha). We scheduled the baptism for 4 in the afternoon for Valdir to be able to go, but when we told Paulo and Paulino that they thought that we had said that the church meetings would be in the afternoon as well. So when they didn't show up to church yesterday, Sister Castilho and I just about had a panic attack. We ran around like chickens with our heads cut off the whole morning trying to get a hold of them. But finally it all worked out and we realized it had just been a misunderstanding and the baptism itself was perfect. Paulino is so happy. And I am SO HAPPY.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Seriously this week was so perfect. I have lots to be grateful for. We saw some serious miracles yesterday with the people who went to church. </div>
<div class="p2">

+ Jatobar // remember a few weeks back that <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/11/week-65-transfer-week.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">a man entered the church building</span></a> asking for help and for us to teach him?? Well we've been trying to get him to church since that day and it's never happened. But yesterday we showed up and said lets go, and he went!!! And when he walked into the church building he was overcome with emotions and just started to cry. It was such a sweet moment. And he <i><u>loved</u> </i>the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/faq/church-welcome-visitors" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">sacrament meeting</span></a>. He kept saying how different it was from anything he'd seen before and how different he felt. He still has a long way to go, but we're happy to see some progress with him; </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ Basílio // we were running around trying to pick people up for church and a man called us over and asked if we were from Jehovah´s Witness hahaha. We explained that we're from the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints</span></a> and invited him to go to church with us that morning. He said that he had some things to resolve but that afterward he would go by himself (which a <i><u>lot</u> </i>of people say, but nobody actually goes). So we left thinking that we would never see him again. But <i><u>he went</u>! </i>By himself! And he loved the meetings and was talking to all the irmãos and said that he wanted us to go to his house and teach him more. We invited him to be baptized and he accepted on the spot!!! So elect. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
This week Sister Castilho and I went to Gramoré to help out Sisters Pinherio and <i>Porter!!!!!</i>[<b><u>mom note</u>:</b> a sister that she has lived with a few times but never been companions with]<i> </i>So fun to see her! We had a <b>#minhavida </b>moment trying to get there by bus. We <i><u>might've</u> </i>gotten slightly lost and when I asked the bus worker man how to get back to Gramoré (because we knew we'd passed our stop) he just looked at me and laughed like how can you be so dumb? But we finally made it and I got to spend some hours working with Sister Porter which was a dream come true. And before we went back to our area we had a quick dinner/açaí with the elders from their district (including Elder Giles!!!!!!! so fun to see old friends). [mom note: an elder that was in the <a href="https://www.lds.org/locations/missionary-training-centers/brazil?lang=por" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">CTM</span></a> with her at the beginning of her mission]</div>

+ When we were going around picking up people for church we showed up at our investigator's house and he was sitting on the porch (no shirt, beer belly, good look). When we walked up and said good morning he said "wait a second" and ran inside. A few minutes later he came back out and said, "Much better, I didn't have my teeth in before." A real gentleman, putting his fake teeth in before talking to us hahaha. </div>

To start out, we heard about what happened in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2015_Paris_attacks" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Paris</span></a>. I was blown away. It seemed so surreal hearing about it out here. It's so sad that these things happen and that there are people who have so little respect for human life. We are keeping all who were affected in our prayers. </div>

Early in the week we had mission counsel. We were able to learn <i><u>a lot</u></i> with the AP's and President and Sister Soares. On Monday night Sister Castilho and I had a long talk about our work here and what we felt like we were doing right and what we needed to change. During the counsel on Tuesday it seemed as if everything that was said was meant for us! I felt so powerfully that God knows us and what we need in our area to be better missionaries and to help His children. We came home excited to put what we had learned into action and this week was truly wonderful because of that.</div>

We dedicated ourselves this week to helping Paulo and Paulino recognize the answer that God had given them that the church is true. We couldn't understand why they didn't realize how prepared they were spiritually. We spent the week doing everything we could to resolve any doubts they had about the church, members went to their house to do the same thing, but they still were unsure. Finally on Friday we felt that we should talk about the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/plan-of-salvation" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Plan of Salvation</span></a>, which had little or nothing to do with their doubts, but we felt impressed and followed the prompting. As we talked about the concept of eternal families they started to open up. And then when we explained to them that they could be <a href="https://www.mormon.org/faq/baptism-for-the-dead" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">baptized in behalf of their parents (and other family members) who died</span></a> without that opportunity it was like a light turned on in their minds. We saw them become completely converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was amazing to see how God uses us as a tool in this work. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Yesterday they showed up at church after us. I looked over at them and didn't see a bag with a towel or anything (to dry off after the baptism) and my heart dropped. But after sacrament meeting Sister Castilho and I ran out to the parking lot and we saw the bag with the towels in their car!!! BUT unfortunately they were not baptized on Sunday. But it will all work out. They decided to change the date because they want their niece to be there. She has a busy work schedule but they are going to find out when her day off is and we're planning their baptism for that day (probably during the week this week). We're bummed that the baptism fell through on Sunday, but I'm so <i><u>happy</u></i> to know that they are converted and willing to make this covenant with God. Keep them in your prayers that it'll all work out this week! </div>

We were teaching an elderly woman named Rita this week. As we were teaching her granddaughter entered the room in a wheelchair. She is special and 11 years old and one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. Her name is Maria Fernanda. As we were talking she maneuvered her wheelchair so that she was sitting close to me and facing me. And she hugged me and said "you are beautiful!' She didn't stop saying that the entire lesson. (to Sister Castilho and I ). And when she left she gave each of us a tight hug. Such an angel. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
And then the next day we were walking in the street and a little girl walking in front of us with her parents was basically walking backwards so that she could talk to us in the street. She asked us if we were friends and if we lived in the same house haha. And she just kept talking for a good 5 minutes. Cutest little girl. And when we left she said "You are both very pretty! And well behaved!' This week was full of confidence boosters haha. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This Friday was Friday the 13th (for those of you who hadn't noticed) and it was full of adventures. One example being that a dog just about ripped my companions leg off in the street. But she deterred him with her Chacos and his owner came over running and shooed him off before he could actually bite her. But we were shell shocked with dogs in the road for the rest of the day haha. And we also decided to commemorate Friday the 13th by doing Halloween-style makeup on our faces after we got home. Sister Castillho's idea...I love her for that. Some missionary-style fun for ya haha.<br />

<b>+ </b>On Saturday we decided to sing a Christmas hymn during the after-lunch message. We started to sing "The First Noel." It was all going great (or at least not badly haha) until we got to the chorus. As we sang, the member's cat slid out of the cabinet that he had been sleeping in (he came out of <i><u>nowhere</u>)</i>, and he wasn't too happy with us. Sister Castilho and I both saw it at the same time and we had the same thought that our singing was so bad that it woke up this cat and made him angry). Sister Castilho started laughing ("coughing") and I was left singing alone, which made it worse. So then I was trying not to laugh and basically we barely made it through the rest of the hymn. And then afterwards Sister Castilho tried to play it off by saying that her family sings this song every year and faking that she had been crying. I died. hahaha. </div>

<b>+ </b> I wrote a note in English and afterwards I realized that I had written <i>you're </i>when it should've been <i>your</i>. And the English major inside of me died a little bit. I'm still crying about this. My English is a mess. </div>

<b>+ </b>We were walking down the street and we saw an elderly woman trying to take some palm fronds off of a little tree in front of her house. She was struggling so we went over to help her. We spent a good five minutes trying to rip them out and finally succeeded. Then as we walked away she went with us and that's when we found out that it <i><u>wasn't her house</u></i>. We had helped the old lady steal the palm fronds. And to make it better there was a camera in front of the house. Awesome. </div>

TUESDAY // was Sister Castilho's birthday!!! We had a little "surprise party" for her in our district meeting. That almost wasn't a surprise because one of the elders was going to blow it, but I'm basically a secret agent and we managed to keep it on the down low. We ate cake (courtesy of <a href="http://sisteramyweatherford.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Weatherford</span></a> and Sister Nunes) drank soda and played with balloons. It was good times all around. </div>

And then later we went out for dinner, just us two. Real romantic. And I was going to pay for her as the birthday girl and all, but I ended up being short like 2 reais that I left at home. #baddate #minhavida<b> </b>But my companion's a good sport and loves me anyway haha. </div>

WEDNESDAY // We went to teach Jatobar (the man who showed up by himself last Sunday). He drinks a lot so it's been rough finding a time that he's at home and sober to teach him. But we met his family! They're great. His wife is super super supportive of him going to church and of us teaching him. Her name is Vanubia. She's not interested in the church for her, but she really wants to help her husband. When the family supports someone it's much easier, so I'm sure we'll find a way to help Jatobar this week! </div>

THURSDAY // Sister Castilho has been feeling pain in her knee for awhile now and this week it was hurting more than normal. So on Thursday morning we went out to the other side of the city to take her to the hospital. It looks like her knee is swelling on the inside. It's nothing serious, we just have to take care of it and she'll probably have to do some physical therapy. But we're just glad that it's nothing more serious and that she can work normally. But keep her in your prayers! (and me that I can know how to take care of her!)</div>

FRIDAY // SATURDAY // SUNDAY // We spent these three days, and the majority of our time to be honest thinking about how we could help Paulo and Paulino. (the two men we were preparing to be baptized). They are <i><u>so close</u></i> I can feel it, but they still have some minor doubts. But they are so elect. They are so willing to keep the commandments. Paulino is defending the church to everyone who says anything bad about it. (even his girlfriend from a different church who threatened to break up with him if he kept going!). And he walks with the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/blog/10-characteristics-of-jesus-christ-and-how-to-develop-them" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">attributes of Christ</span></a> in his wallet (that he copied down during a lesson in elders quorum) He told us that he looks at it multiple times during the day and prays that he can develop these attributes! He's better than I am! Pray for them this week!!!! [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: I don't know if the link I provided for the attributes of Christ is what Paulino has in his wallet but I shared it because it's a good reminder for all of us to strive to live our lives with Christlike attributes]</div>

<b>+ </b>We did a contact with a man who has already been taught by missionaries and had even gone to church before! He introduced us to his family. . his mom, his 5 brothers, 2 sisters, their spouses and kids. . . we were pumped! And then Sister Castilho asked him why he hadn't been baptized in the church and he got all awkward and then told us that he is basically the head of a gang or something in that neighborhood. "nobody messes with him." And then he asked for our number and Sister Castilho gave him a fake number and he went off to meet up with his gang. </div>

Hey gang. Let's start out with what you've all (aka mom's) been waiting for. . . </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>// TRANSFERS //</b></div>
<div class="p1">
+ Sister Castilho and I <i><u>stayed</u></i> in Potengi!!! I'm pumped. I never stay with anyone more than one transfer! And I love Sister Castilho. We're having a party. Seriously this transfer (a 7-weeker) is going to be great here. We have a lot of great investigators that we're working with. #blessed (and another blessing. . we're going to move to a new fancy apartment this month! woohoo)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ Elder Ledesma (my ZL) was transferred to Mossoró. He was excited about that (who isn't excited to go to Mossoró?). But we're missing him here in the Zone. He's a great leader and a total crack-up. BUT in his place our new Zone Leader is Elder W. Silva!!! Sister Castilho and I had a party when we found out. He's the best. But the funniest thing was that <a href="http://sisterarriehernandez.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Hernandez</span></a> and Sister Ríos called the AP to complain that W. Silva is in my zone <i>again</i>. Seriously, I spent almost half my mission with this Elder as my Zone Leader haha. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ Elder Aguilar (my DL) went to Mossoró too! And to ABOLIÇÃ I!!! My old area! He's going to see everyone and I'm sort of super jealous, but also way excited for him. And our new District Leader is Elder Balaich, an Elder from Sister Hernandez' group who I met in Caicó. He's great and I'm excited to work with him too. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ <a href="http://sisteramyweatherford.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Weatherford</span></a> and Sister Nunes stayed in the area! Woot woot! And Sister Porter is in Gramoré! Which means she's close and we talk on the phone now!!!! Stoked on life. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
Before we got the transfer call we did "amigo secreto" with the district. It's a gift exchange. It was fun and I got a giant chocolate bar with peanuts and strawberries (courtesy of <a href="http://elderevanchurch.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Elder Church</span></a>). I'm happy that the majority of the district stayed. It's great working with all these missionaries. </div>

This week Sister Castilho and I worked a lot with <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/10/week-64-place-of-miracles.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Paulo and Paulino who went to church last Sunday</span></a>. They've accepted baptism and we're preparing them for this Sunday!! Pray for them. They truly were prepared by the spirit to accept this message. We are inviting them to make a lot of changes in their lives and they are courageously accepting and willing to do what it takes to follow the Lord. They only have a few doubts that we are hoping to help them with this week. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>#minhavida //</b></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>We are teaching a woman and this week we were talking with her and her kids when her husband showed up. He was a bit...intoxicated. He started talking about how Sister Castilho is black and I am white, but that we are all brothers and sisters. (funnily enough this is a common theme when drunks talk to Sister Castilho and I). Then he asked where we were from about 27 times. Then he called us angels. And then to finish it off when we were leaving I went to shake his hand and he <i>kissed me on the head</i>. He even went to give me another kiss on the other side but I managed to dodge it and he kissed Sister Castilho on the head instead hahaha. So gross and awkward. And then when we kissed his wife on the cheek to say bye (normal with women), he said: "Look, I knew you were going to kiss them so I just went first!" </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
MIRACLE of the week. We were at church and out of nowhere a young man from the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/faq/ward-stake-branch" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">ward</span></a> grabbed my arm and basically dragged me down the hall saying "there's an investigator here for you guys!!" When we showed up there was a man talking with two members of the ward. He told them that he had been on his way to a bar to drink, but walked into the church instead. He started to cry and said that he has a drinking problem and wants help. The members were <i><u>awesome</u></i> and bore their testimonies about how the Lord can help him, threw in a few fun facts about the <span style="color: red;"><a href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/restoration" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Restoration of the Gospel</span></a> </span>and practically marked our return visit with him. We're going to teach him and his family tomorrow! (His name is Jatoba! Include him in your prayers!) And then when he was leaving the church one of the members, Irmão José gave him a hug and said "God loves you." It was so sweet. I love the members here. And it was amazing to see God guide that man to the church building. I'm sure it' wasn't coincidence.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
And to make our week <i><u>wonderful</u></i> when Sister Castilho and I walked into church we saw Irmão Rogerio and Irmã Suenia and their family from Caicó!!!!!! The family that made cake and threw a party for me on my birthday. I <i><u>love</u> </i>them! It was so great to catch up with them. Their daughter Brenda is like a little sister to me, she's great. And their other little girl Bianca said, "I miss you Sister M. Baker. I'm going to write you a letter." So sweet. And not only did we get to see them, but they invited us to eat <span class="s1">cake</span> with them!!! They are staying at a friend's house here in Natal and invited us over for a family home evening and cake and juice. It was just like old times in Caicó. So perfect. </div>

So good to hear <a href="http://sisteremilybaker.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Emily</span></a> so happy. It sounds like she already sent one email before the one I got?? Did you send it to me? I don't think I got it. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
Someone said that I have a package waiting for me in the mission office. I assume it's the one you sent in September.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
So fun that you got to see Eliza and Hannah! And I actually knew that you'd seen Scott because he sent me an email and told me. He doesn't think you're nuts. haha</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
And Sam and Janae's family costumes...OH. MY. HECK. [<u><b>mom note</b></u>: Megan's cousins] I love them too much. This is the best family costume ever. Griphook...I'm <i>dying</i>. And Dobby is the cutest ever. It's all perfect.</div>

Sorry for writing my email late again this week. It's because we don't currently have water in our apartment, but P-day is cleaning day and we had <i><u>lots</u> </i>to clean before the transfer this week. (not because we're dirty, but because we haven't had water to clean the last couple of days. I promise haha). We live on the second floor and on the ground floor there's a water spout that has water from the street so I spent most of the morning running up and down the stairs with buckets and bottles and gallons of water so we could clean and take showers. It was a good workout and I'm positive I'm going to be sore tomorrow haha. But it took a lot longer than normal to clean and the internet café here closes for lunch so we had to come later. </div>
<div class="p2">

<div class="p1">
The Potengi Ward was a place of <i><u>miracles</u></i> yesterday. We finally had<b> <u>investigators at church</u></b>!!! We worked hard this week and it payed off, but the true star of the show was Borges. Borges is a recent-convert and he introduced us to <i><u>a bunch</u> </i>of people from his neighborhood this last week. And he committed himself to go with some of them to church on Sunday. And when we got there, there he was with two of his friends! Paulo and Paulino (they're brothers haha). Now <i>that's </i>a member missionary! Our other investigator, Nilson, went by himself! He's awesome.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
And the other investigator at church was <b>Vwladina</b>. Who got <b>baptized</b> yesterday!!!! Her sister <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/08/week-55-forgive-me.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Valesca got baptized</span></a> </span>when I was here with Sister J. Silva and now Vwladina's day finally came. She has been taught by the missionaries for a <i><u>long</u> </i>time and it was so great to see her make the decision to follow Jesus Christ. She's so excited about the <a href="https://www.lds.org/callings/young-women/leader-resources/history?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Young Women's program</span></a> and <a href="https://www.lds.org/young-women/personal-progress?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Personal Progress</span></a> and reading the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/book-of-mormon" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Book of Mormon</span></a>. It's so fun to see her excitement about these things at such a young age. I love her so much! </div>

Miracle contacts of the week ::</div>
<div class="p1">
+ <b>Rebekah // </b>We stopped and introduced ourselves. . .Sister Castilho, Sister M. Baker. And when we asked her name she says, "<u>Sister</u> Rebekah" hahaha. Talk about elect. But she is a young woman of 17 and she was sooo nice and excited and open. Loved her from the second we started talking to her. Impossible not to. We talked to her mom yesterday and they're both so welcoming. I'm excited to teach them! </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ <b>Wellington // </b>We were finishing up with our contacts yesterday and we saw a man sitting on the sidewalk with his son and a dog. We started chatting and turns out they just moved here and are visiting various churches to find which one their family will go to. It's a <i><u>perfect</u></i> family. Husband, wife (who are married legally!), the son, and even a dog. It's like a picture out of a church pamphlet. We're pumped to go back and teach them too. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Well, this week is transfer week [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: transfers are when missionaries get moved to a new area or serve with a new companion. They are usually every 6 weeks but this one seems to be a 5 week transfer] and tomorrow night I will know if I will stay here in Potengi with Sister Castilho. I love this area and my companion to pieces and would be more than happy to stay, but I have no idea what will happen and I'm basically having a panic attack. (#ihatetransfers haha). But I know that whatever happens, it's got the Lord's hand in it. </div>

<b>+ </b>We were walking to a baptismal interview with Elder Aguilar and Elder de Jesus and we walked past a family on the sidewalk. But behind the family there was a dog that I <i>did not see</i>. And out of nowhere the dog jumps out and started making the weirdest evil ghost dog noises I have ever heard. I jumped about a foot in the air, screamed, punched Elder Aguilar in the arm, hugged my companion, ran about two yards away, and then avoided looking back at the huge family laughing their heads off at my reaction haha. </div>

Sorry to be sending this email so late in the day. It's because today Sister Castilho and I went to Alecrim which is like downtown Natal. There's lots of little booths and stores and whatnot. I bought a beautiful hammock! (neutral with fringe mama ;) ) I'm officially addicted to hammocks. If I could buy them all I would. Seriously. </div>

This Sunday was <i><u>almost</u> </i>a repeat of last Sunday with nobody at church. There were a lot of fervent prayers on my part as we went to everyone's house and nobody was willing to go to the meeting with us. We showed up at the church building without anyone and I was super bummed. But then we saw a young woman who we didn't recognize and we went over and talked to her. <i>Investigator!!!! </i>Her name is Gabrielle and her mom is a hairdresser who owns the salon underneath our apartment. Sister Castilho and I had just cut our hair at her mom's salon last week and she had mentioned that her daughter had gone to a church activity at our church and really liked it. And on Sunday she showed up by herself! This girl fell from heaven. After the meeting we pulled her aside to talk to her a little more. We explained about Jesus Christ's baptism and asked if she had ever been baptized before. Her response, "No. I'm going to get baptized in this church." Golden. We marked her baptism for November 2nd. I hope I'm still here in Potengi for the baptism. This girl is actually an angel. </div>

Sunday was also so special because Antonio (our recent-convert) received the <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/aaronic-priesthood?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Aaronic Priesthood</span></a>. He asked us if he would be able to pass the <u><a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/sacrament?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sacrament</span></a></u> on the same day that he received the priesthood or if he would have to wait a whole week. [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: to "pass the sacrament" quite literally means to pass the sacrament (the bread and water) to members of the congregation. The young men that have the Aaronic Priesthood pass trays of bread and water to the congregation so everyone can take the Sacrament.] I've never seen someone so excited to serve in the church, especially as a 14 year old boy. I love this kid. </div>

<b>+ </b>We were eating lunch at a member's house the other day, and this member is a wonderful cook. I <i><u>love</u> </i>lunch there. Part of the meal was eggplant and red meat. I thought the meat looked a little weird but I trust this member's cooking so I grabbed a little piece and ate it. Delicious. I went back and grabbed a giant piece and ate that too. After we had finished eating Sister Castilho asked the irmã what kind of meat it was. "Sisters," she said, "I didn't want to tell you before because I knew you wouldn't eat it. . ." (red alert) "But it's bull tongue." I ate bull tongue. But I played it off real cool and only freaked out a little bit when we left. Sister Castilho was dying haha. </div>

<b>+ </b>One day our lunch was at home this week so we decided to make rice and beef stroganoff. I made the rice and Sister Castilho made the stroganoff. Well I guess we were both off our game haha. The rice I made the other day turned out perfect, but this time it was way too salty. But salvageable. Then the stroganoff. I took a bite to test it. . . it tasted like there was an entire salt shaker in there. We added just about everything we could think off to even out the taste but to no avail. Luckily I think the Lord blessed our lunch because it wasn't <i><u>that</u></i> bad when I ate it (I even had seconds haha #missionarylife). </div>

Speaking of eating I turned into a human vortex this week. I am <i><u>so</u> </i>hungry all the time. I feel like a teenage boy, (I feel like Nate haha). I might've consumed a ridiculous amount of <a href="http://gobrazil.about.com/od/fooddrinkglossary/g/xtudo.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">x</span></a>-bacon (cheeseburger with bacon) this week. And I <i><u>might've</u> </i>eaten two in one night. But in my defense Sister Castilho ate two hamburgers as well. We both ate one and then she said, "do you want another one? I don't want to be fat by myself." hahaha. But I've since repented and this week I'm on a healthy streak. </div>

On Tuesday night we got a call from <a href="http://elderevanchurch.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Elder Church</span></a> and Elder Ledesma (our Zone Leaders) [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: missionaries that oversee/help a group of missionaries in a geographical area] saying that President Soares had asked for us to do an exchange with the sisters from Santarém. And that I would be staying in their area until Saturday with. . . <i><a href="http://sisteramyweatherford.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Weatherford</span></a>! </i>I joked with her that she's now my first American "companion" haha. But it was great to <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/09/week-57-exchange-of-pace.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">work with her again</span></a>. I don't love leaving my area, but we saw a lot of miracles in her area and I got to know some of their investigators and the members there and it was a great experience overall. </div>
<div class="p2">

<div class="p1">
Sister Weatherford and Sister Nunes have been teaching a man named Marcílio and this week was the week leading up to his baptism! I had talked to him briefly at <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">General Conference</span></a> and it was great to get to know him better. The first time we went to his house we chatted a little bit and I showed him the picture of my baptism.<br />

He's such a sweethearted man and was so excited to make changes in his life. When we left we asked him to say the closing prayer. He started out "Thank you for this princess who is here visiting me. I saw her that day on the conference but didn't know that she would come here to my residence. And please bless all the little children that they can be baptized like she was." hahaha I died. I left feeling like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine,_Duchess_of_Cambridge" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Kate Middleton</span></a> haha. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
There is a recent-convert named Neto who lives in Santarém and we went to visit him and leave a message. This man <i><u>loves</u> </i>to give the sisters food. And I love to eat. So we got along just fine. He gave us pizza and bread and soda and all sorts of things. And then after I had already come back to my area Sister Weatherford gave us a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panettone" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">panettone</span></a> (bread/cake thing that they sell here when it gets close-ish to Christmas) that he had sent for me. He found the secret to my friendship haha. But seriously it's a good thing that I don't work in Santarém normally or I would probably turn into Augustus Gloop haha.<br />

It was so great to work with Sister Weatherford and see how she has already grown a lot as a missionary in the short time since our last exchange. I learned a lot with her. She talks to <span class="s1">everyone</span> and really has the spirit with her when she teaches. Truly a wonderful misisonary. </div>

<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>We were looking for a man that the elders had been teaching before they were transferred and left the address with Sister Weatherford. Well after awhile we found him walking towards his house. We called him over and explained that we were the new missionaries and that we would like to continue teaching him. He just stared at us. Sister Weatherford asked if he had already visited the church and if he liked it. He stayed quiet for like a minute and then said, "I. . I don't know if I liked it or not." With like the weirdest look on his face. Then Sister Weatherford asked him if he had any doubts about the meeting or the church and he said, "If you're going to ask about doubts (30 second awkward pause) I don't know." And then shut us down and walked away. The most mysterious investigator I've ever met. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
On Saturday we switched back to our normal areas and companions. Sister Castilho and I went out to Santarém to see Marcílios baptism. It was wonderful. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Sunday was a bit rough because <i>nobody</i> went to church. Sister Castilho and I were bummed. But <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/09/week-60-transfer-week.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Antonio and Otavio</span></a> were <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bd/confirmation?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">confirmed</span></a> which was a huge plus.<br />
<br />
Give Shannon the biggest hug from me. I've got a letter to send to her and wanted her home address. Any way you can get it to me?<br />
<br />
I love you guys AND <a href="http://hermanashannonmccormick.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">SHAN</span></a>.<br />

This week started out with a party. 6 sisters all sleeping in one house. Mattresses on the ground, girl talk, and freshly baked cake (courtesy of Sister Castilho). Sisters V. Lopes, Antunes, <a href="http://sisteramyweatherford.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Weatherford</span></a>, and Nunes are all wonderful and it was great to catch up (with Sisters Antunes and Weatherford) and get to know Sisters V. Lopez and Nunes better. We all woke up bright and early (4 am) and managed to all get ready with one bathroom and two broken mirrors. Mission miracles. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Tuesday was the Mission Zone Conference and it was the first time that I have been in Natal for the conference. But some friends from the interior are here in the capital now so I got to see some of my homies. Sister Porter, Sister Rios, Sister Morais, <a href="http://sisterarriehernandez.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Hernandez</span></a>! (it was like a Caicó reunion). I love these people too much. I also learned that an elder who was in my zone in Mossoró has taken to doing imitations of me. He refused to show me, but I hear he's pretty good. (probably involves falling over a lot).<br />

<b>+ </b>At mission conferences, sweet Sister Soares always makes sure that there's breakfast for us. Bread with butter, fruit, juice, chocolate milk, etc. Well I was walking by the breakfast table and I stepped right into a splotch of butter on the ground. You can probably imagine what happened next. . . My foot slipped out behind me and I went down, just barely catching myself before my face hit the ground. Then I stood up, pulled a "nobody saw" pose and cleaned up the butter to save the other good citizens of the Brazil Natal Mission. </div>
<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>Related to the above story: my companion asked me the other day if I have ever watched <a href="http://disneychannel.disney.com/thats-so-raven" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">That's So Raven</span></a>. When I said yes she laughed and said I fall the exact same way as Raven, like I fall and then jump up and keep walking to pretend I didn't fall. (thought of you momma "you little nasty")</div>

Aside from the socializing and the falling, the Zone Conference was an amazing meeting. I felt spiritually uplifted and really motivated to work with the <i><u>members</u></i>. This work has to be done <span class="s1">together</span>. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Sister Castilho and I were talking this week about how Satan's most powerful tool truly is to stop us from opening our mouths. It's so easy to think,"I won't talk to this person, but I'll talk to the next." or think that the person doesn't look like they want to talk to us, etc. But we worked hard to ignore these temptations and talk to <i><u>everyone</u></i> this week. We did a contact with a family and the woman snubbed us big time. She wouldn't even tell us her name. (I think she thinks that mormons have some name voodoo that we do haha). And then in the next contact we did, the woman walked away asap, refusing to talk to us. At the next house over I saw a woman sitting on the curb. Part of me was tired of being rejected and just wanted to get to our next commitment, but the spirit told me to talk to her. So we did. Her name is Joanna and she is so elect. She is (legally) married! woo hoo! And lives with her husband and three kids. A family! She is religious, but accepted the invite to visit church, we are hoping and praying the family will go with us this next Sunday! </div>

And speaking of answered prayers. . Sister Castilho and I were sitting waiting for the Sunday afternoon session to start and Sister Castilho says to me, half-joking.

<b>TRANSFER WEEK</b></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ I stayed in Potengi! Thank goodness. If I had only stayed one transfer for the second time in a row I would've gone crazy. And probably called President crying haha. I'm excited to work another transfer here. I love the area, the members, our investigators, the recent-converts, everything!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ Sister J. Silva was transferred! To U<i>rick Graff 1 (Mossoró)</i>!!!!! Aka, my birthplace. She's going to die where I was born. So she'll die happy. I was bummed that I won't be able to spend another transfer with her, but I'm also pumped for her. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ My new companion is <i>Sister Castilho!</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<i> </i><b> // ABOUT HER //</b></div>
<div class="p1">
> She is from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Paulo" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">São Paulo</span></a>. Surprise surprise. (my 7th companion paulista!) </div>
<div class="p1">
> She has been out on the mission for 11 months.</div>
<div class="p1">
> We were in the same district when I was in Caicó!!! We didn't get to know each other super well, but I liked her a lot. She's a sweetheart. </div>
<div class="p1">
> When she left my district we were still in the same zone! haha and she lived with <a href="http://sisterarriehernandez.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Hernandez</span></a> (my twin and mission bestie) and Sister Hernandez loves her and she loves Sister Hernandez so I was pumped when I heard she would be my companion. </div>
<div class="p1">
> She loves to dance and I'm going to ask her to teach me to dance like a Brazillian. Watch out world. </div>
<div class="p1">
> She's fun and crazy and we are already having a blast together. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Since transfer week is sort of crazy I'm going to try to organize this email by the days of the week to have some sort of structure. . . </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
MONDAY // A normal, chill pday, but at night when Sister J. Silva and I were getting ready for bed, she wasn't feeling too well. And then she went to the bathroom and threw up. And from that point on (about 10pm) it didn't stop. She was <i><u>really</u> </i>sick. I was panicking a little bit. We didn't sleep a wink. She ended up getting a priesthood blessing from our neighbor (who is conveniently the bishop's counselor) and then she took some medicine that helped a lot. Around 4 am we finally got to sleep.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
TUESDAY // You can imagine how great I was feeling after Monday night, and Sister J. Silva was worse off than I poor thing. She ended up sleeping a good portion of the day and woke up feeling a lot better. After the transfer call we went and said goodbye to her recent-converts and some members.</div>

WEDNESDAY // We got to the rodoviaria [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: bus terminal] at about 8:30 am for Sister J. Silva to catch her bus. And Sister Castilho only got to Natal (from Sousa) at 8:30 <i><u>pm</u></i>. I spent most of my day there (until about 4 o'clock). I was wishing I had brought a hammock to take a nap haha. But honestly it was fun to see friends there. On transfer day the rodoviaria in Natal is like a beehive full of missionaries. Everyone must think that the Mormons are taking over the world. But I got to see a ton of people there. It was way fun to catch up. </div>

<div class="p2">
And from 4-8:30 I stayed in trio with the sisters from Alecrim . . . <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/07/week-48-transfer-week-zion-or-bust.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Lencini</span></a> and <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/03/week-31-from-natal-to-cryco-jk-im-fine.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Rios</span></a>!!!! Party. They're my homegirls. Sister Rios had spent half of her mission in Zona Caicó so she was happy to be in the capital and have a change of pace. Fun to spend some time with the two of them. And their investigator bought us french fries. Woot woot. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
And since I was in Alecrim (close to the mission office) I got to pick up my <i><u>package</u></i>. Mom you are the absolute cutest person in the world and I (and many many missionaries here) love you. The "you are my sunshine" package was a hit. Just Sister Castilho and I would never be able to eat all of the yummy treats so it's good the other sister's are going to sleep over tonight (mission conference tomorrow) and I'll share with everyone. LOVE YOU MOMMA. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
THURSDAY // FRIDAY // SATURDAY // The first days with Sister Castilho have been great. I think we're going to work really well together. We were teaching Antonio and Otavio these last few days, preparing them for their baptism and they have honestly been so prepared by the spirit. They love the church. They spend every day there at activities, they are both going to <a href="http://seminary.lds.org/about?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">seminary</span></a>, they have honestly jumped headfirst into the gospel. And the best part is seeing how their family is supporting them in this. Their grandma is a less-active member of the church and their mom spent a long time going to church but wasn't able to be baptized. But she remembers everything! When we taught them about the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/restoration" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Restoration</span></a> she taught the lesson more than we did. An elect family. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>#minhavida // </b>We decided to do a contact with two women and a man who were sitting on the sidewalk in front of their house. Little did we know that it would be probably one of the funniest contacts of my mission. The women were talkative, nice, friendly, etc. The man was a little bit drunk. He started to "speak English" which was mostly Portuguese with small phrases in English. And then he started talking politics with me and saying how he wanted his country to copy my country. Then he started telling Sister Castilho how beautiful she was. He was going on and on about how she was "his princess" with his wife sitting next to him! But instead of getting jealous or offended she was apparently worried about my self-confidence. "They're both pretty dear. Both of the girls are pretty." He agreed with a shrug of the shoulders and went back to praising Sister Castilho and trying to hug her. Hahaha poor girl. She half yelled that missionaries can't hug and he backed off. But don't worry I've recovered from the blow to my self-esteem.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
SUNDAY // Best sunday ever. A ton of investigators at church (and they all went by themselves!), great lessons in sunday school, a beautiful and reverent <a href="https://www.mormon.org/faq/church-welcome-visitors" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">sacrament meeting</span></a>. Antonio and Otavio's entire family was there in the front row with us and an irmã [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: sister] gave a talk about <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/family-proclamation?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">"The Family: A Proclamation to the World"</span></a>. It was perfect. The baptismal meeting was spiritual and so special. The members gave a warm welcome to the boys and there were a few members who recognized Antonio and Otavio's mom (Aquelice) and grandma from when they used to go to church and gave them hugs and welcomed them. It's exactly what we want to see the members do when we bring people to church. It makes all the difference. </div>

This week we saw so many miracles here in Potengi. Sister J. Silva and I really tried to dedicate ourselves 100% to the work and to our investigators. We aren't perfect but God saw our effort and blessed us and our area. </div>

+ Remember that man, <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/08/week-56-spirit-of-god-has-power-that-we.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Aleanderson</span></a>,</span> who lost his brother and we ended up teaching everyone in his family except for him?? Well the spirit touched him this week! We walked by the house and were talking to Almira and Katia and they said that he had seen us coming down the street and said "Here come the girls from the Mormon church, I'm going to talk to them today." And he did. He really opened up to us about how he's feeling with the death of his brother and we taught him about the <a href="https://www.mormon.org/beliefs/plan-of-salvation" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Plan of Salvation</span></a>. What a sacred experience. We also watched "Together Forever" with him and his wife and baby girl. Despite the slightly cheesy outfits and fabulous hair in the movie, it was so great. It was clear that he got really choked up at the idea that his family could be happy and united forever. The other day when we were leaving he stopped us and thanked us and said "You two have no idea the difference you have made here in this house." It's the kind of thing missionaries love to hear. I LOVE THIS FAMILY. [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: this video clip is not the video Together Forever that Megan showed her investigators but it is a short video that shares the same message...families can be together forever.]</div>

+ We were on our way home after a long day and exhausted. But as we were about to enter our street Sister J. Silva stops and says that she's craving <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churrasco" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">churrasco</span></a>. A couple streets before our house there's a little restaurant type place that sells meat-on-a-stick that's fabulous. So we backtracked and went to go buy some. As we were walking down that street we saw two men talking in front of a house and we decided to stop and invite them to church. As we started talking one of them in particular was <i><u>super</u></i> interested. Asking a bunch of questions about the church and the <a href="https://beta.mormon.org/beliefs/the-book-of-mormon.php?gclid=CjwKEAjw1f6vBRC7tLqO_aih5WISJAAE0CYwZrFWg1H5vLAm5otxdrE5ITjwmlyhL8OapxN_kkRnIxoCA1nw_wcB&cid=99117202&s_kwcid=AL!3737!3!76189138695!e!!g!!book%20of%20mormon&ef_id=N89PA-Lc5E0AAMMa:20150921171251:s" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Book of Mormon</span></a>. Then he called his wife over to mark a day for us to visit! They're an adorable young couple with a 5 year old girl. We're so excited to teach them!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ Another miracle contact. This time the man practically took the Book of Mormon out of my hands with how interested he was. He told us that he wanted us to go to his house and explain everything in detail (he's from the elders area so we're sending them over there). And then when we left he told us that our faces are different, almost saintlike. hahaha. Don't know about that, but it's wonderful to see people recognize the spirit that we carry with us. Not because of us but because of our sacred calling. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Basically this week was the missionary dream come true. Here's to hoping that this week is just as good and that I stay here in Potengi with Sister J. Silva in the transfer!!! Fingers crossed. </div>

Sorry that I'm sending the email so late this week. It's because this morning. . . </div>

<div class="p1">
WE WENT TO THE BEACH (with Sister Soares! [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: Mission President's wife] Don't worry I'm being obedient I promise haha)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
It was the first time that I've seen the beach on the mission and I can now say for myself that California beaches don't compare with the beaches here in Natal. I'm spoiled now. Sister Soares took Sister J. Silva, <a href="http://sisteramyweatherford.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Weatherford</span></a>, Sister Nóbrega, Sister Antunes, Sister B. Pereira and I to pass the morning with her at the sand dunes and beach. <i><u>Best pday ever</u></i>. We took lots of pictures (just for you momma!) which I will send as soon as possible. I got a solid sunburn and sea salt in my hair and I'm pumped about it. (and planning on buying aloe vera when I leave the internet café haha). I love Sister Soares so much, it was great to spend some more personal time with her and have fun with the sisters. </div>

This week passed by so fast and left me exhausted. I don't believe that this transfer is almost over. [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: A transfer is 6 weeks long. The current transfer ends next week on Wednesday and then Megan will only have 3 more transfers until she is home] I'm hoping to stay with Sister J. Silva and "<a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/08/week-55-forgive-me.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">kill</span></a>" her, but we'll see what the Lord has planned for us. We're going to take advantage of this last week and talk to <i><u>everyone</u></i>. Our teaching pool is struggling a little bit, but we're going to work with the people who are progressing and find plenty of new investigators this week. </div>

Reginaldo is having a rough time leaving his addictions behind. I want so badly to help him and I'm praying that he can start to make some small changes in his life to make room for the giant change that the gospel can make. </div>

On Sunday morning we were running around like crazy, as usual, and we decided to stop by Brendon's friend's house. (Jonas). We asked him if he would like to go to church with us. He looked at us without saying anything for like 20 seconds and then said, "I'm not doing anything better right now. I'll go." Hahaha got to love the enthusiasm. But he ended up loving church and said next week he'll go again! We're excited to work with him!</div>

On Saturday there was a hard-core church cleaning going down. The chapel here was needing it. Us and a bunch of members went and we cleaned the church like I'm pretty sure it's never been cleaned before. Sister J. Silva and I only cleaned one room in a couple hours, to give you an idea of how detailed it was. We cleaned every nook and cranny. I left the church a little light headed from breathing in the smell of so many cleaning supplies haha. But I was having flashbacks to all the Saturdays that I cleaned the church with the family. Good times. I'm grateful for parents who were always willing to serve in the church and made it fun. Mom and Dad, you two are the actual best. </div>

We went to teach two recent converts (young women // Ju and Maria Eduarda) and I sat down on the couch and basically died. I think I might have actually died and then ressurected afterwards because I don't remember anything. And when Sister J. Silva woke me up I was so confused and I just started saying, "I can't feel my hand, I can't feel my hand!" The girls started dying laughing. </div>

Last week seems like ages ago. So much happened this week and it went by so fast and so slow at the same time. It started out with a council meeting on Tuesday. I got to see some old friends who are serving in other parts of the mission and hear some wonderful counsel from mission leaders and <a href="https://www.lds.org/church/news/first-presidency-calls-new-mission-presidents-gallery?lang=eng#soares" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">President and Sister Soares</span></a>. We woke up bright and early (4 am!) on Tuesday morning and a sweet member of the ward gave us a ride to the mission office. There I got to see . . . <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/02/week-29-emergency-transfer.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Carvalho</span></a>, <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/03/week-31-from-natal-to-cryco-jk-im-fine.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Rios</span></a>, Sister Gonçalves, Elder W. Silva, Elder Monteza, Elder Pimentel, Elder Phillips, Elder Collier, Elder Z. Clark, Elder Tavares, etc. It was great to hear how everyone is doing in their zones and reconnect. Sister Soares talked with us about our focus here as missionaries, that we need to teach with the end in mind. (aka the <a href="https://www.lds.org/church/temples/why-we-build-temples?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">temple</span></a>). It was inspiring and Sister J. Silva and I are working to apply what she said in our area. President spoke about our goals as a mission and also asked for us to focus on <a href="https://www.mormon.org/values/family" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">the family</span></a>. It was a wonderful council and I am really excited to apply what we learned.<br />

I spent a good part of this week in exchanges with <a href="http://sisteramyweatherford.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Weatherford</span></a> in my area. Sister J. Silva went to Gramoré and stayed with Sister Weatherford's companion. I missed Sister J. Silva, but I <i><u>loved</u></i> working with Sister Weatherford. She has been on the mission for 6 months, but she is already a fabulous missionary (and got a hang of the language super fast!). I was blown away by how willing she was to do contacts, something that was rough for me in the beginning of the mission. We worked hard together and we saw a lot of miracles.<br />

We were walking down the street and there was <i>nobody</i> else on this road. Out of nowhere a woman turned the corner and called us over and asked us to pray for her. We sat down on the curb with her and she started telling us about how she had just left her husband, and that she had nowhere to sleep. All she had was a plastic bag with a denim jacket inside because her ex had thrown all of her things in the street. She sat with us and cried. She said that she had been walking with the idea to end her life, but then we passed by and almost without thinking she had called us over. We talked for a long time. Cried with her. Hugged her. She called us her angels. I don't know if we will ever see her again because she is sleeping in a different house every night and didn't have an address or phone number to give us. We tried to mark with her to meet up this week, I just hope she remembers. But whatever happens, I felt so grateful to truly be a tool in God's hands to protect His daughter. He knew what she was going through and He sent us there to help her, to comfort her. I thought of our <a href="http://eom.byu.edu/index.php/Baptismal_Covenant" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">baptismal covenant</span></a>, "to comfort those that stand in need of comfort." It was such a powerful experience to be able to truly live this promise that I made when I was baptized. </div>

<a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/08/week-55-forgive-me.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Brendon</span></a> is full of the missionary spirit and has been inviting <i><u>everyone</u> </i>to church! We are teaching one of his neighbors, Reginaldo, and he has truly been prepared by the spirit. He is willing to turn his life around for the gospel and he is soaking it all in! We left a pamphlet with him and the next day he had read the entire thing. We asked if he had any questions, and he gave an emphatic <i>no</i>. Saying that the pamphlet explained everything so well that there was no way to have questions haha. He is preparing to be baptized and I'm so excited to work with him. </div>

Katia is a girl who has been going to church for a while now. She spent some time hesitant to be baptized because she was going to multiple churches and wasn't sure which one she wanted to stay in. But we have been challenging her to pray and ask God. She did and got her answer. She said she wants to be a member of the "mormon church." When we asked her why she said that she felt good about the way we teach the <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/plan-of-salvation?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Plan of Salvation</span></a>, that it makes perfect sense to her and that it all matches up with what the <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bible" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Bible</span></a> says. She's a very intelligent little girl haha. We are planning her baptism for Sunday. </div>

This week was a good one, we saw a lot of miracles here in Potengi. We had a zone meeting on Tuesday and we talked a lot about what we need to change, what we can do better, about the examples that the missionaries in the <a href="https://beta.mormon.org/beliefs/the-book-of-mormon.php?gclid=Cj0KEQjw9o-vBRCO0OLi2PfPkI8BEiQA8pdF4O71WdpyTLaUB4e-gKrqQs0mMYXod1FBhO0jn4hlyrAaAlAx8P8HAQ&cid=99113982&s_kwcid=AL!3737!3!68403351855!p!!g!!book%20of%20mormon%20lds&ef_id=N89PA-Lc5E0AAMMa:20150831194726:s" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Book of Mormon</span></a> are to us. It hit Sister J. Silva and I hard, and we went back to our area with a lot of goals about our work here. It was a week where we really worked hard to have the spirit with us and do our very best. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
One day this week we spent our companionship study (<b><u>mom note</u></b>: time set aside where companions study and discuss together) reading <a href="https://www.lds.org/manual/preach-my-gospel-a-guide-to-missionary-service/how-do-i-recognize-and-understand-the-spirit?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">chapter 4 of Preach My Gospel</span></a> about the Spirit. It made a <i><u>huge</u></i> difference in our day. We were searching for the house of a referral that a member had given us...Rosineide and Aleanderson. Rosineide is a less-active member and her husband Aleanderson is not a member. Recently his brother passed away and he is going through an extremely difficult moment right now. But we were having a really hard time finding their house. As we asked other people in the street about them we found <i><u>wonderful</u></i> new investigators who are receptive and willing to hear our message. And finally after talking to 5 or so people we finally found someone who knew where they lived.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
When we clapped our hands at the door (<b><u>mom note</u></b>: they don't knock on doors there) an elderly woman walked out. And she didn't look too happy to see us. She said that Rosineide lived next door and walked over to call her. We explained that we were missionaries and she cut us off ASAP. She basically said that she already had her religion, thank you very much, and for us to let her be. Rosineide came out and greeted us with a huge smile and a hug and the <i><u>sweetest</u></i> two-month old baby in her arms. She said that she wanted to hear our message but that she wouldn't be able to in her house because her husband hadn't slept well the night before and was asleep in the living room. So she asked Almira, the elderly woman, if we could leave the message in her house. We went over there and we started talking to and getting to know these two women. We found out that Almira had also lost one of her daughters. We bore simple testimony of the <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/plan-of-salvation?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Plan of Salvation</span></a> and the knowledge we have that we can live with our families for eternity and said a prayer. We left <a href="https://www.lds.org/bc/content/ldsorg/content/english/manual/missionary/pdf/36950_the-plan-of-salvation-eng.pdf?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">a pamphlet of the Plan of Salvation</span></a> and marked another day to come back and teach so that Aleanderson could listen as well. When we left Almira gave me a good strong hug and told us to come back to her house whenever we wanted to, that we would be welcome. She also is planning on going to church this next week with us! The spirit of God has a power that we do not, a power to change hearts. This is not our work, it is His. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We're working hard here to strengthen not only our investigators, but the members and the ward here. It has become so clear to me here on my mission that the most important things we can do to strengthen our testimony of Christ and His church are the simplest things too. Read our scriptures and pray daily (individually and as a family), have weekly <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/family-home-evening?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">family home evenings</span></a>, <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/fasting-and-fast-offerings?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">fast</span></a> at least once a month, do our <a href="https://www.lds.org/callings/relief-society/visiting-teaching-training/purpose-is-to-minister?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">visiting teaching</span></a> and <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/home-teaching?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">home teaching</span></a> visits, etc. These are the <i><u>basics</u></i> of the gospel. God has more prepared for us, but we need to do what He has already asked. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I was reading in <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/hel/3?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Helaman 3</span></a> this week and it was talking about the great success that the church was having. . . </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> </span><b>24 </b>And it came to pass that in this same year there was <b><u>exceedingly great prosperity in the church</u></b>, insomuch that there were thousands who did join themselves unto the church and were baptized unto repentance.</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> </span><b>25 </b>And so great was the prosperity of the church, and <b>s<u>o many the blessings which were poured out upon the people</u></b>, that even the high priests and the teachers were themselves astonished beyond measure.</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"> </span><b>26 </b>And it came to pass that the work of the Lord did prosper unto the <b><u>baptizing and uniting to the church of God, many souls, yea, even tens of thousands.</u></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">And </span>I thought to myself <i><u>how on earth were they having so much success? What were they doing that made so many people want to be baptized?</u> </i>With this in mind I continued reading and in verse 35 it says:</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"> </span><b>35 </b>Nevertheless they did<b> <u>fast and pray oft</u></b>, and did wax stronger and stronger in their<b> <u>humility</u></b>, and firmer and firmer in the <b><u>faith of Christ</u></b>, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the <u><b>purifying and the sanctification of their hearts</b>,</u> which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p5">
They prayed, they fasted, they were humble, and they had faith in Christ. It doesn't get simpler than that. This gospel is 100% perfect. If we just live it in our day to day lives, in our homes and work and school, everyone else will want to live it too. I have seen members here who truly give themselves over to the work of the Lord, who are magnifying their callings and always willing to serve. I hope to be more like them. </div>

<b>+ </b><a href="http://sharingheavenslight.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Sister Dyer</span></a> came to Brasil to visit this week!!!!! (<b><u>mom note</u></b>: Sister Dyer lived with Megan in her first area but has since finished her mission and returned home) It was so great to see her! I felt like I was a greenie again haha. (<b><u>mom note</u></b>: greenie is a term used for a new missionary) But she brought her aunt with her who speaks English and I was trying to help translate for her aunt...didn't go too well haha. My English is a mess. And when I finally got an English phrase out without a problem I was talking to my companion, not Sister Dyer's aunt haha. </div>

<b>+ </b>Here there is a custom that instead of calling everyone "you" (você) you will call people "senhor," "senhora," "irmão," "irmã," etc. (mr. mrs. brother sister) For example: "how long has the sister lived here?" Talking to a sister from the ward. It's weird in English haha. But I'm super used to talking like this, and it's the language we use in prayer also because it's more respectful. But we always use "Senhor" which is the Lord. But yesterday when I was praying I went with habit and I accidentally used "irmão" (brother) during the prayer. I heard Sister J.

I AM SO SORRY about <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/08/week-54-shes-lucky-she-sent-pictures.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">last week</span></a>. We had planned to come back to the internet café but it didn't work out and Pday ended and that was that. I was so bummed and felt so bad for not writing you guys. Forgive me?</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
So you all know that last week was <b>TRANSFER WEEK. </b>And like you probably realized from the <a href="http://sistermegbaker.blogspot.com/2015/08/week-54-shes-lucky-she-sent-pictures.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">pics</span></a>...I was transferred. Biggest shock of my life. I was 100% sure that I was going to stay in Mossoró. And Sister Trage was positive that she was going to be transferred. She'd even packed her suitcases. We were sitting on the curb when the elders called, and when they said that I would be transferred...I lost it. I just started crying my eyes out. I was so pumped about this area and our investigators and the members and everything. And Sister Trage stayed in the area, her 4th transfer there. It was a little hard on her too because this is the only area she's ever worked in and she's getting a little tired there. We indulged ourselves and complained a little bit and I cried (more than a little bit). But then we sucked it up and remembered that God knows what He's doing and He's got a plan for us here on our missions. </div>
<div class="p2">

I was transferred. . .</div>

<div class="p1">
+ The idea of being in the city again was so strange to me, since I've passed the majority of my mission in the "country" and I love it. And the way to work is so different in Natal because the culture is different in some aspects. But since I've gotten here I've realized that it's a <i>wonderful </i>area. Lots of open-minded people who are willing to hear our message. We have a great teaching pool, members, ward mission leader, and recent-converts. I'm excited to work here (and stay here for more than one transfer! Fingers crossed haha)</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
with :: <b>Sister J. Silva</b></div>
<div class="p1">
+ She's from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Paulo" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">São Paulo</span></a>.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ She's a convert to the church! She got baptized when she was 15 and her brother was on a mission nearby (he got baptized first) and his Mission President gave him permission to baptize her, the day before he went home! Such a cool story. And her parents got baptized while she was here on her mission. She's got a rock-solid testimony and faced a lot to be able to be here on a mission. I'm learning so much from her. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ She loves all things Disney. #kindredspirits</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ She's cries almost as much as I do. If there is ever a water shortage here we won't have a problem, we just need to cry into buckets and we'll have a solid backup water supply. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ She's a total sweetheart, funny, hardworking, and we are getting along <i><u>wonderfully</u></i>. I love her!</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
+ She's going home in October! I might "kill" her (when a missionary goes home we say they're "dying" and the last companion they have "kills" them). It would be great to spend two transfers with her here in Potengi! </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We have been super busy and I'm still completely lost in the area haha but it was a great week. Yesterday we had a <b>baptism!!!!! </b>Her name is Valeska and she has 13 years. We have been teaching her, her mom (Veronica), and her sister (Vladina). They are a wonderful family. They are going through some really difficult things right now and are really needing the light of the gospel in their lives. Valeska has been so excited to be baptized for awhile now, and yesterday she was finally able to! She practically bounced into the chapel she was so happy. The baptism was beautiful. (and I made a cake yesterday, all by myself, and it was a success. the mission is doing miracles for my baking abilities haha)<br />

There is a recent-convert that Sister J. Silva baptized named Brendon. He is <i><u>amazing</u></i>. He's attending <a href="http://seminary.lds.org/about?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">seminary</span></a> and is always studying and memorizing scriptures. And when he goes out to teach with us he always invites <i><u>everyone</u></i> to read the <a href="https://beta.mormon.org/beliefs/the-book-of-mormon.php?gclid=Cj0KEQjwgeuuBRCiwpD0hP3Cg4kBEiQAHflm1k7iw5Zq-9rxHC25HVxBnfmkGbLprvI7zHPHgLFy1RsaAgSU8P8HAQ&cid=99115496&s_kwcid=AL!3737!3!68403353175!b!!g!!%2Bmormon%20%2Bbook&ef_id=N89PA-Lc5E0AAMMa:20150824153009:s" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Book of Mormon</span></a> and pray asking if it's true and bears his testimony.

<b>+ </b>We were teaching Brendon and we got up to leave, but when I stood up I lost my balance and fell back into my chair. Sister J. Silva just laughed (she's already used to it), but Brendon got really worried and was going on about how he saw something on the news about low blood pressure and that I needed to be careful and should maybe go to the doctor. Haha apparently my lack of coordination is life-threatening now. </div>

<div class="p1">
<b>+ </b>We were having lunch at a member's house (they're an elderly couple that is <i><u>adorable</u></i>. I want to be them when I grow up). And they had invited a friend over to eat lunch with us (family, do this! It's <i>the best</i> for us missionaries). But anyways, the wife was a nurse for like 48 years and started talking about experiences she had had in the medical field which was actually really cool. But...then she started explaining in <i>detail</i> about circumcision to her friend. Sister J. Silva and I couldn't make eye contact with each other or we would've died. </div>

Hahahaha, I'm going to start telling everyone he's my ex. Low-key, I dated a British werewolf. [<b><u>mom note</u></b>: this was her response to a picture I sent her of her hairdresser, Brittany, doing the hair of the kid that played Maison (werewolf and on screen boyfriend of Selena Gomez) on <a href="http://disneychannel.disney.com/wizards-of-waverly-place" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Wizards of Waverly Place</span></a> (don't pretend you didn't watch it) We told her since Brittany has worked on both their hair they might as well have been dating.</div>

[<b><u>mom note</u></b>: And that was that. Our big family letter never came. She did redeem herself a little by sending a bunch of pictures which are with this post. The only problem is...from the pictures it looks like there were some goodbyes, tears, a new companion and new zone and we know NOTHING. So if she shared any info with anyone else in an email today or you're in Brazil or have a missionary in the Natal Mission and know anything about transfers please feel free to let us in on what happened this week. Luckily I have pictures to hold me over until next weeks email (and you know she better write a good one haha)</div>
