ONE YEAR!!!

 Heyyyy everyone! How is everyone doing?!

First thing...HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all you fathers!!  I hope you had a great day!  I'm so grateful that I could talk to my dad and grandpa for fathers day!  I'm grateful for all you have done for me dad!  Thanks for all the laughter from your dad jokes, they certainly are the best!! 
Not going to lie, this week for me was rough.  After getting over covid, our week was really slow!!  It's been tough getting back into the routine of things.  Getting back on the street, finding people, etc.  We have been trying to find some new ways to do the work because the things that we are doing aren't working super well here in this area.  Sooo, it's been rough getting back into the hang of things and getting people to teach.
But, this week we had a BAPTISM!!  So that boosted our spirits a bit haha!  It was really nice and it was the first baptism here in this ward since January!  So that helped the ward a lot too!
We had interviews this week with President and it was our last interviews with President!  Next week, I will get a new mission President.  So interviews were really nice! 
We had a district council and talked about ways to teach people to come unto Christ through the Restoration.  It was really cool and I learned some new things!
This week will be super fun!!!  For one, Thursday I hit my ONE YEAR MARK!!!  WHAT IN THE WORLD!!  HOW HAS TIME GONE BY SO FAST!??
Then we have an all mission conference since it will be the last one for my current mission President.  So I will be traveling to Ribeirão for a day!
The rest of the week...who knows what will happen lol!
But that's all from me, here in Brazil! 
I hope you all have an amazing 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...
