Upcoming baptisms

This week was amazing! We started out the week with divisions in Mogi Centro which is the interior of Sao Paulo. It is SO beautiful there and I was super pumped to see mountains! I was companions with sister Ohgutuama for the day. She is from Cape Verde Africa so it was fun to hear about whee she lives. She's way cool and told me I have to come visit her in a couple of years and she'll give me a tour of her island. She's hilarious and we are pretty much best friends now! Their apartment complex has a tennis court (which is the first tennis court I've found here) so one of these p-days they want me to teach them tennis and I'm stoked! Some other things that happened this week, we taught SO many lessons! We are still teaching Penha and Zilda, they came to church for the 4th time this week. Their baptismal date is this Saturday so keep them in your prayers! I'll let you know what happens next week! We have also been teaching a 9 year old named Laura since I got here. She has been going to church the past 4 months and has wanted to be baptized since her first Sunday but her mom doesn't want her to be baptized! So we have been trying to teach her mom and get her to come to church and after 4 months of missionaries inviting her she finally came yesterday! She and I are buddies now so we are hoping she will say yes and Laura can be baptized Saturday as well! We had 6 investigators at church yesterday so that was amazing and a couple less active families that showed up as well! We are visiting a lot of less actives and helping reactivate them! This week we made a bunch of new investigators but one of them is a lot more interested than the others, her name is Maria! We gave her the Book of Mormon lesson yesterday and it went really well, she's super excited for her next lesson AND she has 2 stinking cute dogs that sat on my lap the whole lesson and slept! I'm excited to teach her again and play with her dogs LOL! Another thing that happened is the trucks that transport gasoline here in Brazil decided they aren't going to transport gasoline until the prices go down, this has been going on for almost a week now so the buses have stopped running and now everyone is walking but its starting to affect mail systems because the people who deliver it all don't have gas and even some airports.... I hope they figure it out before I need to come home in 15 months or I might just have to stay here and eat churros forever! It's also starting to get pretty cold sometimes so today for P-day we went shopping with our Sister training leaders to buy some warmer clothes so that as a ton of fun! This week we were also told that we were invited to a devotional with Quentin L. Cook for all the missionaries in the Sao Paulo East Mission on Wednesday but then today we got a call saying it was cancelled, so that was super anti-climatic. We think it has something to do with the gas problem. Well that's all I can think of that happened this week! It was a really good week and we worked really hard, the language is coming along, still far from perfect but I'm starting to be able to talk a lot more! I love this gospel and I love watching people's lives change because of it! Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are truly perfect and I'm honored to represent them and be a part of this amazing work. I love you all and I hope you are taking time to read the Book of Mormon every single day! Hope you all have an amazing week. I'll see you all in about 14 months, haha. Ate Proxima semana, Beijo!

Love, sister Peine
