Familia,
This was a really packed week we had two baptism and the Lord blessed us immensly. I was really happy, Sister Galvão and I made a goal to baptise 3 people before she left, this was three weeks ago. We were blessed to have these three baptisms in the last 2 weeks.
One thing that I have learned a lot on the mission is that Sacrifice will bring forth the blessings of heaven. Surely this was the case these last weeks.
SIster Galvão left today for her home. It was a happy sad time. She will be missed. So, with her gone changes occur.
I will be training this transfer in HIdrolandia, a new Sister from either Fortaleza, or São Paulo. I am excited, but at the same time a little nervous, I will pick her up tomorrow. I feel like the lord is placing in me a lot of confidence, I hope that I can help her gain a missionary vision, and learn to love serving in the Lord´s vineyard.
I will be staying in Hidrolandia and this will make 5-6 months there. A lot of time, but it is fantastic. We have helped many come to the knowledge of the truth, and Our baptism Sunday was a young man 25 years name Jandre, he is so neat. He is always reading and sharing with us what he has learned it is wonderful to teach him and see the ways he is chnaing and how the gospel will help him chnge even more. I am very pleased with his baptism.
Cledson was finally baptised this weekend as well. After 4-5 months working with him and helping him. It was great that hefinally made the right choice.
I love the Lord in Him my Soul delights! I didn´t receive much news from home, but I am sure happy for Emma and her mission call! It will come faster than you think! Love you all and I ask that you all will keep me in your prayers because I will be entering into a new adventure being a senior companion and a trainer.
Love
Sister Judd
