Miriam's 2nd Week in Leme - with Sis. Lima


 Mas que miséria

Despite the title this week was actually super fun! I converted my anti-whole grain cookie companion to a whole grain cookie that I've been eating my whole mission. Not even she believes that that was possible.

But anyway ...

We had Zone Conference this past week and I gave my first Zone Conference training with Sister Lima. It went well, I hope. I didn't really know what I was doing.

After Zone Conference we did a companionship exchange with the Sisters of Ricetti, São Carlos, Sister Risconevo and Sister Lofgren. I spent the day with Sister Risconevo, and we had a good time together. She nearly broke her ankle because of a misstep on Brazil's janky sidewalks. She's fine if any of you are wondering.

Sister Lofgren is also super cool. She's been in the field for 2 weeks, and she has family from Scotland and can do a sweet Scottish accent.

When we finally returned home on Saturday we visited a few people and participated in the eating part of a Relief Society activity.  But that was pretty much the gist of Saturday. (We did also give a Book of Mormon to a slightly drunk, very emotional cowboy dude as well because it seemed like he was needing it.)

Well, here's my talk for the week. I didn't actually listen to this particular talk this week, but I have listened to it several times because it's really good. 

It has really helped my testimony of the reality of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Seeing everything that he was up against in his task to translate the Book of Mormon, it should have been impossible. But it wasn't because he really was called by God to perform this work.

Joseph Smith—Prophet of the Restoration
