Jardim do Sol- Week Three

This week was another long and rainy adventure in Curitiba. I know that I probable open every email with this, but it rained a ton this past week. However, I was a lot more prepared and brought my umbrella everyday. The protection helped greatly.

This past week, I went on splits with Elder P of California. It was a super great time. We worked a lot and had a lot of success. We celebrated by buying a pizza and Elder P made Root beer!!! It has been a while since I tasted root beer, it was very impressive. 

I was very grateful for this week of Easter. I had a special goal this Easter to spend all my free time studying about the life of Cristo. I focused my study in the New Testament and the book "Jesus, The Christ". The result was super awesome. I can not describe the amount of things I learned and felt through the Holy Ghost. I feel as though I know a little better my Savior.

I was grateful for the members of the ward that brought us some chocolate to celebrate Easter a little. It was definitely a different kind of Easter this year. I did not see one plastic Easter egg.  (See below for photo.)

General Conference was truly remarkable. I was lucky to have a chapel the broadcasted the conference without problems. I was with 9 other missionaries were able to watch the broadcast. (See photo below.)

I am overly joyed to hear announced the Richmond Virginia Temple!!! 

I was particularly touch by Elder Uchtdorf´s talk on the Savior and His atonement. It truly was a powerful talk.

I am grateful for this past week and the incredible experiences I had. I wish you all a Happy Easter and my love. Thank you all.

Com amor,

Elder Pinkney
