Bom dia! Hope everyone is doing so great! We had another successful week in the Genibaú and Sevilha areas. The blessings are coming in one after another, and I couldn't be happier.
One exceptional, wonderful miracle that happened for us this week was our two sacrament meetings! We are lucky enough to be having those meetings again, and this week we were able to bring a lot of our friends with us. As we walked around the favela, calling for the kids to join us, more and more joined in to become part of our big family. We have several of them who are preparing to be baptized this week! Exciting stuff! For our second sacrament meeting, we were able to bring our friend Larissa. We have been teaching her for a couple of weeks now. She is 20 and is good friends with an RM who lives in Messejana. He travelled here to go to sacrament meeting with us too! We are hoping to help her get baptized in the next couple of weeks.
We have been having a hard time in relation to health in the zone. One companionship has COVID and are both feeling really sick. Many people here in Fortaleza are getting sick and it doesn't seem like the situation is improving at all. We are praying that things start to get better soon. We did get an announcement that we can start registering to get vaccinated this week. We have heard that right now, it is very hard for young, healthy people to get vaccinated, but we hope that things work out in the next couple weeks.
We have been working hard and loving life here. Always problems to be solved and battles to be won, but this life as a missionary is the most rewarding there is. I am thankful for the chance to be here, and finish strong in this great place.
Love,
Elder Perry
