Free Açaí!

 This email was from two weeks ago...sorry for the delay in getting it out for her.  There is no email from last week as she had transfers, but she will have some good updates this week!

Hello everybody!!  Another week!  I feel like I just had pday like yesterday! 
Anyway there isn't too much from this week.  It's just been the normal -- contacting on the street, and trying to find more people.  Seriously that's it!  It's been hard this whole transfer finding new people to teach.  But all we've had to do is keep going!
This week we had a lot of treats, and can you guess what treat we got?! AÇAÍ!!  Of course!  One time we got it, either the place made a mistake or they ran out of cups of the size we ordered, so they gave us a free bonus of açaí!  And of course it was sooo good!
Other things, we had interviews this week.  They ended up being online so I didn't have to travel this week.  He always says my Portuguese is really coming along!  And I can definitely see the progress but there's always things to improve on.  I still need to get better at my confidence when I speak and really just open my mouth haha.
But other than that, this week is the last week of the transfer already!  I don't know what will happen next week, if I'll get transferred or not, who knows.  But I can't believe how fast transfers go by!!
But yeah sorry this was a short email.  I haven't had much to say or update on this whole transfer.  I'm hoping I'll have more to say soon!
Anyway I hope everyone has a great week!  Love you all!

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...
