Keep Praying for me

Keep praying for me
Apparently I will need it...

This week was so great you guys!

First, on Wednesday I went to my last physical therapy appointment and he said that I would have a week with no treatments to see how that goes. I will come back in on Wednesday and see if I still need more treatments or not. But, he said he’s really happy with my progress. and I’m so glad because I just need it to be over. I know without a doubt there was purpose in me meeting Pedro and introducing him to the Church and me getting my back better, but I’m ready for a miracle and to get back to work. I’m so sick of having to travel there and take so much time away from the area. And all this week my back has been doing so well! I only had pain on Sunday and it went away in a few hours. That is some serious progress.

Second, we committed Bruno to be baptized this Sunday! He’s nine, and the son of a less active recent convert, and he is so excited to be baptized. His mom just wants to make sure he really knows what he’s doing with it because she felt like she was baptized too quickly, but pray for them! He is so smart and knows so much about baptism and why we need it!
Third, I’m sorry family; we are literally at the last like ten minutes of p-day so I have zero time. We had to bake a cake at the church because it’s Bruno’s mom's birthday! We are showing love to let her know God loves her and she should come back to church and let her son be baptized.
Fourth, I got a blessing from an Elder in my district this week even though I was feeling fine. My companion needed one and the spirit prompted me to get one too so I asked for one after and apparently God had A LOT to say to me. That blessing was the longest I’ve received on the mission and maybe ever in my life. But he said multiple times that the Lord wants me to be an example for my companion and my future companions and be a strength to them, and that the Lord wants me to put myself in situations that are out of my nature and will stretch me. He wants me to "place yourself out of your comfort zone" and be willing to show faith and learn how to do more things. I think the Lord is trying to prepare me for something and I don’t like the sound of it.
Pray for me.
Really.

I love you guys tons I hope everyone is safe and sound. The Church is true!
Also, my companion and I are writing a song about all the creepy men on the mission that say things like, "Irma, quero um beijo seu."
Look it up.
Love you guys!
