Lots of things to catch up on!

 Hey everyone!!  How's it going?

Another pday!!  The weeks are going by so fast!! 
This email will be for this week and the last few weeks! 
Pdays have been pretty crazy! We are finally able to have pdays together in districts so we have gotten together these last few pdays!  We have played volleyball and ping pong, made pizza, and just hung out! It's been a lot of fun and definitely needed!
These last few weeks have been a little rough!  Our area is tough, one of the hardest areas, if not the hardest area, in the mission!  Many people say, "fortes de Irajá" lol! 
We take the bus everyday to the church, 30 minutes each way, to be able to work online and then we go back home in the evening. 
Yesterday, coming home from the church, we took the bus.  And the bus driver knew exactly what stop we would get off because he knew we were missionaries haha!  So that should tell you how much we take the bus! 
We have been trying to find more people, and we found this couple...a family!  And they came to church yesterday and loved it there!!  We've taught them about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon and they are really interested!
Well to be honest, there really aren't any other updates.  And it is already another transfer!!  And guess what happened...
I'M GONNA BE A MOM AGAIN!!!  I will be training again!!  And I'm opening a new area so it will be an interesting transfer!  I'm excited!  
But, I hope everyone is doing well!  I'm sorry I haven't sent out an email in a bit.  It's been crazy!  But...a little plus, lots of pictures!  haha
Have a great week!
Love,
Sister Findlay

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...
