Hows all my Friends doing??! 

This week was awesome, and a little sad.... I am sad to announce that my big man Elder Dos Santos was officially sent off to New York, New York North (stud mission) to start his mission!!!!! :( That was super weird, we kept looking behind us to see were he was the whole day yesterday haha it feels weird to be in two again! I'm gonna miss that kid so much, but its all good cause I know he did what the Lord asked of him here in this area and will go help tons of other people now in New York whom are needing him! We also had a super awesome/sad meeting with the whole mission this morning.... THE FAREWELL OF PRESIDENT AND SISTER DEL GUERSO!!!!!!! Man, was that crazy... They are going to leave in 4 weeks and its super crazy. This Wednesday we had our last Zone Conference with president and then we all went to the temple after which was such a spiritual experience being able to talk them in the Celestial Room and then to have this meeting was awesome! We all sang the mission Hymn to president and Sister Del Guerso and made  videos with our zones to thank them for everything. It was all organized by the assistants and President and Sister Del Guerso didn't even know what was gonna happen at the meeting. We also all sang "Til we meet again" to them and everyone was crying haha and we all formed a line and they gave a hug to each an every missionary it was so so cool! Weird to think that they are leaving, truly am gonna miss them so much, they are such awesome leaders and Friends. 

We got to also do a Skype with President Thomas (our new mission president) and his wife as a mission to get to meet them!!! Haha it was so cool!! They seem like awesome people, and I know that even though it's hard, it'll all work out and that it will be awesome!! So grateful for the friendships i make on my mission and leaders that I have! Everything is going awesome here and I'm as stoked as can be! Irmã Sandra is also doing super well and progressing so much! She just has been getting super sick so its been a little hard for her to get to church! But her testimony is soo strong its incredible! I love this work, and love you guys all soo much!!!!I Thanks soo much for the support!! Have an AWESOME WEEK!!!
