Trip to São Paulo...For A Morning!

 Olá genteeee!!


This week was went by INSANELY fast!

I don't have a ton of time so this week, so this email is going to be short. 

Not a bunch of work got done this week because of a few things.

On, last thursday I took a trip to São Paulo!!  We left at 1:30 in the morning and got back to the mission at about 2 PM.  So I was only in São Paulo for about 3ish hours haha.  I was with one other Sister and an Elder.  I slept for most of the way which was nice but it was still super tiring.

I tried coxinhas (I think that is how you spell it haha) for the first time and oh my goodness they are absolutely AMAZING!!

Then today was transfers.  I HAVE MADE IT THROUGH THE TRANSFER!!  Can you believe it?!  

My companion is going home which means I got a new one!  Her name is Sister Tegerdine and she is absolutely AMAZING!  I have only been with her for a couple of hours but I know she is going to help me out a lot more with the work!

So with my companion going home, she had to do a lot of stuff to get her ready.  So we couldn't work during those times.

But, I'm glad I made it through this week because it was so busy and tiring!

And this is all I got for today!

I love you all!  Hope you are doing well!

Sorry I don't have pictures this week but I will add a bunch for next week's email!

MTC Complete! Off to the field!

Olá!! This week was bittersweet and a roller coaster of emotions.   First thing was family goodbyes.  Last weekend was a time full of fun just being able to spend time with each other.  I'm grateful for my brothers who took the time to come home to spend the weekend with me.  I love them both sooo much and will miss them greatly!  The goodbyes were sooooo hard.  I feel like I just did this with their missions.  Second thing, it was my last week in the MTC :(  I can't believe 6 weeks have passed already.  I have loved every minute of it and I feel I learned so much!  While it was hard staring at my screen for 6+ hours a day, my district and my instructors made it worth it!  I love all of them so much!   We had such fun times in class whether learning how to teach a certain principle, playing connect 4, or learning slang terms to use in Brazil lol, we always made the best of the situation.  I'm so gratefu...

Oiii gente! This week went by so fast! This last week was full of trainings with our mission president and his wife.  Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday we had trainings.  It almost felt like I was back in the home mtc doing classes on zoom again haha. I couldn't understand much, only a little bit.  But from what I could understand, I learned about becoming an effective missionary and learned about repentance. My week, I felt like, was centered around repentance.  It started with my parent's emails to me.  During their stake conference, they had Elder Mike Jones there, and he said that "repentance begins when our behavior changes."  (Thanks dad for sending me this in your email!)  Looking back, this line had set the mood for the rest of the week.   Also, during one of our trainings, my mission president talked about how we need to have faith to repent.  True repentance cannot be done without faith in Jesus Christ and faith in the power of Chr...

New comp and new area!

  Oii meus amigos e família! This week has been a little crazy and a lot happened. Tuesday I actaully got transferred to a new area and a new companion.  Her name is Sister De Paula. We cover two areas since there's not a whole lot of missionaries here.  We are in Jardim Palmares and Jardinópolis.   Wednesday, we got up and did out studies and then had lunch.  After lunch we went to the church that is just up the street so we could work.  We go there everyday since we can get wifi while we work. Then Thursday was my first zone conference!  It was the first time being in person again since covid and it was fun to see all the missionaries there.  We had a day full of training and ate a yummy lunch! Side note, the food here is AMAZING!!!  We have rice and beans with every lunch with a type of meat and sometimes potatoes, and other things.  We get lunch delivered to us everyday so that is nice!  We get so much food I can't even eat...
