Week 37  (8/5/19)  Phone Call Only 😊

Hello Everyone, 

This week was  wonderful, we were able to speak to Sister Pierce for about 20 minutes before she had to go.  She wanted us to let everyone now how thankful she was to be serving In  Brazil.  She asked that you continue to pray for her that she will continue to learn the language and be more efficient in her communication.  She has a new companion, she told us the her name however we did not understand it. We asked her to email us her companions name, hopefully she can send next week.  

Emma is looking forward to a couple of baptisms this week. This last month she has been teaching a couple who would like to get baptized. As with many relationships, They live together and are not married. She told us that they will be getting married in a place that specializes in small marriage ceremony’s.  We told her that it sounds more like wedding chapels we have here in the USA.  After they get  married, they will get baptized later that evening. She asked us to pray for them. 

In the chart below, you will see that she has served for 259 days and 47% completed. It is hard to imagine that she only has 284 days remaining. It seems like only yesterday that she left.

As with most missionaries, Emma expressed how much she loves receiving a good old fashioned handwritten letter or card in the mail. Once a month when she goes to Zone Conference during lunch, they pass out letters and mail for missionaries. We would love it if everyone could write her a letter or send a card letting her know you are thinking about her. Please note, It takes about 3-4 weeks for her to recieve it after you send it from the USA.  The cost for an international stamp to Brazil is $1.15, her mission office below is the address to mail to:
