Hey guys! An apostle´s coming to visit us on the 28th of February!!
We´re super pumped and preparing a month of miracles to be ready! Also, I
contacted a girl like 4 months ago when I was on exchanges and she was
baptized in another Elder´s area here in our zone!!! WOOO small and
simple things! I got super happy. also, rejection is the hardest thing
in the mission, becuase we´re literally knocking on their doors (or
clapping) Amnd GIVING salvation...and they just sometimes don´t accept
it. Ugh. I get so sad. But then I learn how HF feels when we do
something we know is wrng when he´s giving us the right path....but yea.
I love you guys!!!

Hey guys! This week was pretty good...we ALMOST had a baptism, but it
fell through at the last second. We were super bummed about that....but
we´re working to work everything out this week. Pray for Antonio,
pllease! And Ruam! Thanks thank thanks :)
But....my
birthday kinda rocked! Can´t believe I´m 20!! I always told myself that
I´d never tell anyone when my birthday is during the mission...but now
I´m thinking that every new area I´m just gonna invent a birthday,
because it was awesome. When the members and investigators know it´s
your birthday, they go CRAZY. Guys we ate so much cake. And ate so much
food. And partied. As much as a missionary can party. Sister de Jesus,
in my district also had a birthday on the 8th, so we celebrated together
and had a party with the 8 missionaries in this close area. It was
AWESOME. I got tons of cake, Arthur, who was baptized last month gave me
tons of chocolate, and a I got a cactus. And I heard more ´happy
birthday´ songs than any other day in my life. Also, I ate breakfast in
bed. It was only an apple...but I mean, I ate it in my bed. But I LOVED
IT. I´ll send pictures next time, this dumb computer won´t let me. But I
hope you guys all had a wonderful week and have a better week this
week!!
Also,
I was reading 1 Nephi 8:34 and it scared me. Guys, ya can´t even pay
attention to the worldly stuff, or you´re a goner. Just be careful!! I
love you all, Keep the faith!!

Hey guys! This week was super good! Christmas was awesome, we ate a ton,
and we went to a Christmas program at night. The choir was gorgeous,
and there was AC so I actually felt a little bit cold. We spent a lot of
time with members and less active people, and we were able to bring the
message of Jesus Christ and how HE is our gift to a lot of people.
We
were teaching someone named Antonio when out of nowhere other
missionaries from another church came and tried to take over our lesson.
Hah, it was super annoying. The funny thing was, the only Brazilian
there was Antonio. The other two missionaries are from Korea, and my
companion is from Peru. So a bunch of foreign people were at his kitchen
table talking about religion, and he was just sitting there laughing a
little. I finally said we would argue anymore, and they got kinda upset.
The good thing was that Antonio stayed on our side when we were
defending what we believe about having a prophet. Sorry, that was really
poorly written, but I hope you guys get it. (We won).
We
also got people at church! Isaac´s firme e forte and is planning on
getting married so he can get baptized. He´s loving the gospel and
loving the blessing´s he´s seeing in his life. Michelle also came with
us, and she´s liking having God in her life now.
I
love this work and I love bringing this joyful message to everyone
that´ll listen. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and an amazing
new year!!
Love,
Sister Neal

This week was absolutely fantastic! We had our Christmas Conference and
it was amazing. We played soccer and volleyball and ate a TON and it was
just good. It´s nice to see everyone when you don´t get to hang out
with the family.
Thanks for the prayers for
Isaac! The woman he lives with is suuuper rude, but I was finally able
to talk to her and convince her to sign the marriage papers! She wasn´t
happy but I told her she was living in sin, and as a Christian woman she
should get married. She didn´t like hearing about her sin, so we´re
going over there to sign today :D I am SO HAPPY. We´ll get the papers in
on the 5th, and Isaac is planning to be baptized on the 10th! It will
be amazing.
Arthur is so happy about his baptism, thanks again for praying for him.
I
hope everyone has an amazing Christmas! I am SO excited to talk to my
family! Remember that CHRIST is the first gift! He made our eternal life
possible. HE is the way. Remember him always, and this will be the best
Christmas ever. I love my Savior. He lives!! Merry Christmas!!
