Traveling Traveling Traveling!
Hello friends and family! This week has been amazing! This week my companion and I got the opportunity to go to Juiz de Fora and we with our district did one of our mission president´s last interviews before he goes home in June! I can´t believe it! Even mission president´s deserve a break! It was so amazing to talk to President Cascardi! He´s definitely a man of great knowledge and dicisipline. His favorite words are repent..and be obedient! LOVE HIM We had the opportunity to do divisão? (I can´t translate that in my brain right now) We went out with the Sister training leaders and it was soo great! I had to do splits with my mom!(: My mission mom! It was soo great. I felt like i was starting my mission all over..with the knowledge I recieved. This week was amazing! One of the miracles we saw there was so many, but yesterday a member offered us a ride to an appointment and we said no thank you we rather walk (since it was after lunch we were SOO full) My companion and I were king of regretting not excepting a ride because it was a little hot, then we saw a man we had talked to the week before name Claudio! He said he had been reading the book of mormon his nephew has and wanted to come to church! We told him that that book WILL change his life and he comes to church and excepts to follow Christ by being baptized like he was! He immidietly said his life could definitely be alot better and excepted our help! IT WAS A MIRACLE. I know that Heavenly father sees our effort when we invite everyone to change! I love you soo much everyone thank you for your prayers!

MIRACLE WEEK!
Hello everyone!!! Holy cow, this week was AMAZING!!!!!! Sister Tamblay and I are sweating(: THis week was definitely a week of amazing things! I don´t have tons of time, sorry! but An amazing experience I would like to share was that we are teaching two boys! Pedro Enrique 13 and Rian 12! We´ve been teaching them for about two weeks and are excited! They both live with their grandma and their grandma is fine with us teaching them, but when it came to ask her about baptism she said we would have to talk to their parents. Their parents are divorced. We decided to talk to their mom first since she lives in Tres Rios and their dad lives in another town next to us. There was a member Betty who said that she knew their mom and wasn´t a very nice person. My companion and I were super super nervouse to talkt to her, but we knew we had too! We fasted Saturday into Friday so we know what we could say to her! Sunday night Betty went with us to visit her and it was a mircle because she said YES! She said she´s noticed they´ve been a little rebelish and wanted them to change and she even agreed to go to church with them every sunday!(: I know that Heavenly father truly did touch her heart and did soften it! What a miracle! WE are soo excited to keep helping this wonderful family!!
I hope that makes sense my english is getting worser and worser everyday!
I love you all soo much! I hope each of us and pray and fast and recieve answers from HEavenly father!!
love love

Sister Tamblay and I are preparing a boy named Pedro Enrique for baptism the 24! he´s a members nephew and he´s soo solid and excited! He´s little shy, but he´s 13! what to expect!

HOLY COW! TRANSFERS, CONFERENCE, GREENIE!
HELLO WONDERFUL FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!First of all. I love you guys soo much! I hope you all know that(: I hope you all enjoyed Conference, wasn´t it wonderful? Everything that was said, taught, preached..I know it´s true with all my heart. Someone once told me that Conference is different when you are a missionary, and I testify that´s true! I felt soo uplifted not only in belhaf of myself, but all my investigators. I felt alot of the things that were said is what they need! Elder Bednar said it right! BAPTISM! There is NO WAY we can recieve all these blessing if we don´t take the first leap of faith! I know that all other churches are amazing wonderful great christians, but I know that Christ he established His only one true kingdom here on earth and after his death those prescious things were lost. I know that God loves us so much that he called a prophet to be restore Christ´s church here once again! I know that authority is here once again on earth to baptize, to bless and to seal families for all eternity! I hope we can all pray that we can share this truth with everyone. I know the Book pf Mormon is proof of that!(: As we read and pray our lives change and we become the people and children God wants us to be! I love Conference so much!
So I recieved a phone call this morning and my companion Sister Prado is being transfered! I´m staying WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and my companion is....I DON`T KNOW..because i´m TRAINING!!!! BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHFdsjkfj dskljfklsdj fwiojfklçdsjfofjkl sdfklasjklr..That means i´m terrified. I feel soo scared and indaquate. I know the mission president prayed and recieved revelation and so i´m holding on to that faith! I travel to Juiz de Fora to pick her up tomorrow and i find out who she is wedneday! PRAY FOR ME PLEASE!(: SHe is going to loves Três Rios the members are wonderful and we are teaching amazing people!(: I hope that together we can learn and bring our brothers and sisters to the fold(:
I love you all so much! Thank you for the prayers and letters! Thank you GArden City youth! I love you! I pray that we can all take in what Jeffrey R Holland said and hold these words in our hearts forever!(: until next confreence and that we will not esquecer que Deus nos ama! Not forget that god loves us!(:
LOVE LOVE LOVE!

EASTER!
Happy easter! Everyone! Thank you soo much for the prayers and letters! This week I recieved tons of them! Thank you Sister Provost for the CD. Thank you so much! So this week was definitely one to remember! On Tuesday we went to a neighboring city called Petropolis for a zone conference with the mission president. On the way my companion started to get a fever of 101! We couldn´t go back because the conference was mandatory so we stayed in Petropolis with my companion litteraly sick. I felt so sad for her. On the way back our mission president drove my companion and I back to Três Rios, It was so nice of him! ( I love the bus, but i love the car way better!) We went to the doctor the next day and she had a type os Zica or Dengue which is the same thing. She stayed home all week. Luckly we have some awesome Sisters serving with us and we had the opportunity to do splits with them! I got to go out with Sister Pammy from Para, Brasil and SISTER SUA from Missouri! It was really fun to see how others sisters work! It was really fun going out with an American such as my self! Sister Sua and I didn´t get lost or confused not even once! Literally the gift of tongues is real! My companion got well enough to go to church on Sunday for easter! I am so grateful for the members here! They took good care of my companion and I. Our refrigirator is full of food for days! On sunday tons of the members brought friends to church! It was truly a miracle! later that day I went out with some of the members while my companion stayed home with other members! I got to see how each and every single one of us make a special part of being hands and intruments of Jesus Christ! This easter was definitely one to remember! With loving members serving one another and trying to be better people! I know that that is what Christ would want of us. I know that we can show lvoe for his sacrifice as we do the things he would do!
I love my savior! I love the restored gospel! I love the way we gt to here from his living prophets! See them live and lds.org!(:
Thank you for th prayers and love Have an amazing week!(:

Alma26:11-12
Thank you soo much for you support and love. Thank you for the letters! Thank you so much for the package. My companion and I loved the peanut butter and candy!
The mission is the best place on earth! There are literally miracles everyday. Tender mercies that show us God does know each and every single one of us! That his hand is there. One of the experiences that I would like to share would have to be from my first are Ubà my first baptism Rosa! She is an 65 year old women that lives in humble condicions. The missionaries taught her a couple years ago and then she suddenly moved neighborhoods and the sisters found her again! Rosa stopped drinking and smoking three months before the sisters found her and she had been cleaned since! They day of ther baptism my companion and I walked with Rosa to her baptism we walked 1 hour to her baptism where it was preformed and walked back another hour. Rosa can hardly walk to one side of her house to the other..I have no Idea how she walked TWO hours. Not many members have cars here so there was no option of taking a ride. Rosa amazed me as she willingly walked that what seemed long walk under the sun. It made me think if I a convert would have had the faith to walk that to and from my own baptism.
That same are we taught a mother and daughter Jaquelene and Thais! They are locals that have lived in Ubà all their lives. Thais the daughter is 25 she loves to dance and sing. We found her knocking doors and so lovingly except to hear our message! As we taught her and her mom she began to READ and PRAY..she felt that what she was reading was true and her and her mom decided to be baptized! There was so many opossions before they could be baptized like always when we decide to follow Christ.The day before her baptismal inteverview her old boyfriend came to her and wanted contact her..she BRAVELY said no.The day of her baptism the baptismal clothes were no where to be found..someone had locked the door where they have been kept and the person with the keys had left town on vacation.. Thais and Jaquelene so fulled of cheer and excitement for her baptism cheerlfully excepted baptism the next week! That lesson soo hit me so hard in my chest that we as humans are weak and failures. BUT God´s elects are God´s elects and NOTHING will stop the work from moving forward!
Lastly this week! We planned a family home evening at a members house and inveted 3 investigators. We talked to each of them and went to there house hours before.When we showed up to the fhe they weren´t there..We waited 30 minutes and felt soo sad because we had just talked to them. Our hearts were so sad..we had also made PANCAKES..with maple syrup for them (everyone here is crazy for american food) The Mom of the family suggested we invite her neighbors..`she said Sister Trejo lets go outside and find some inverstigators we are in Brasil and I said okay`..We went outside and some neighborhood kids were sitting outside talking and we said HELLO! Do you want to eat some pancakes? They said yes! We asaid okay we are going to have a short message first. They agreed. Those three teenagers ended up being ELECT! The Dad of the family ended up sharing and aamazing message about easter and how through Christ we can be clean! The oldest Jonathan that´s 19 asked HOW CAN I BE CLEAN?! We said throught faith in Christ, Repenting and being baptized! Jonathan is excited to go to church with us. He couldn´t this last sunday because he works, but this sunday he´s coming! He´s so excited to learn about christ!
My heart is filled with joy, I know without a doubt that this is Christ´s perfect gospel. I know that He lives and he is the head of the church. I know that HEavenly father loves and trust us enough to let us help him in the work of Salvation. I know that each and every single one us can do our part in this MARVALOUS work. It doesn´t matter who we are, or what we did, but who we are willing to be with the help of Christ and the atonement!
Today is my 6 year anniversary! Of being a member! How I am forever grateful for those members that have helped me become the young women I am today. I know i´d be nothing with my loving Heavenly father, My SAvior Jesus Christ and my second family the Garden City ward. May the Lord pour out blessings upon each and everysingle one of you. May we as members also extend our hands to our brothers and sisters that are entering into the fold, may we recieve the with love!
Is my humble prayer in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
Sister Trejo
