Hello everyone! So just to begin this week has been absolutely crazy haha so we now have smartphones in the mission and its honestly such an amazing blessing to have here in Brazil because honestly the streets here are kinda crazy and we need all the help we can get hahaha Anyways to start off my week we didn't have church on Sunday which was SUPER weird haha and then on p-day we called our families using the phone which was sooooo nice haha and much easier. On Tuesday we went to the bank to see if our 200 reals came through then we proceeded to buy as much food as we possibly could haha because our president told us to buy a food storage for 15 days.
Then on Wednesday we got money from the members to buy some food so we went and bought some super good chicken stuff from the "mall" here. We were lucky because as of late everything has been shut down and we barely made it to the mall before it all shut down to buy food. After that we got a text saying that we need to tell our zone to go home because the virus is getting worse and we don't want any missionarys getting sick. So we got home and all we've pretty much been doing is listening saints and…. Haha theres not much else to do in the house of a missionary besides study. On thursday we got a message saying that until further notice we will have to stay in our house for two weeks!! Not just us though everyone should stay home haha on friday at around 7:30 the elders from another area came to give the baptismal interview to mikaele so that she could be baptized on Saturday! She passed!! Whoohoo anyways so on saturday we had the baptism
and it was weird because we were told to invite the least amount of people as possible. But anyways the baptism went really well and very quickly haha elder Rios baptized her because he knew her longer then immediately after we gave her the gift of the holy ghost!!! It was such an amazing feeling! Just to know that even through all of these trials and tribulations the work of the Lord continues on!!! This Sunday since we have to stay home all day is going to be pretty rough, I won't lie haha we don't have that many things to do in the house. Yesterday I cleaned the entire house while my comp sat on his butt and did nothing hahahah thats how lost we are being stuck in our houses all day. But anyways, I'm thankful to be a missionary for the church of God! Even in these difficult times we can always remember our saviour and have hope that our heavenly father and saviour are by our sides. Also I forgot to send a lot of thes pictures so her ya go!!

To finish this email we recently received the news that every foreigner is going to there original land or "home" and that we have to stay in quarantine for fourteen days, then we will get re-assigned to a different area in the United States. I'm extremely sad to say good bye to my mission here in Brazil but God has a purpose for everything. Wherever I go I'm happy to be serving my Heavenly Father and his children. Its hard to actually comprehend all that's happening but I'm just going with the flow like usual haha
love you all and i hope you all have an amazing week and stay healthy and safe!!!!!
