Familia!
Tessa and Robbie are having a boy! That´s
awesome! I´m happy for them. What are they naming him? How is everybody else
doing? I´m starting to get use to my area. I have to take the onibus to
Guanabara and then walk about 5 miles to people´s houses. It´s a good work out
haha. I do this most of the time.
The ward that i´m serving in is awesome! 2
members of the bishopric speak English, and they help me with translating. I´m
still having a hard time understanding my companion. Wednesday was not a good
day for me. It seemed like who ever I talked to, the language seemed like
gibberish. I broke down crying, because I was so frustrated and felt useless. I
never thought that a mission would be this hard. Sometimes I feel like I want to
go home, because it would be a lot easier. But I know that I need to be here and
that someone is waiting for me to teach them the gospel. I´m not going to give
up. I´m going to try my best to be patient and strong.
As of right now, I have 5 investigators! One of
them i´m going to commit to baptism this week!! His name is Joanilson! He´s in
his mid 20´s. We met him while going to the bus stop to Eloy Chaves. He has come
to church every week and loves learning more about the gospel. I´m pretty sure
he´s golden. I hope that he says yes when I commit him to baptism! I´ll let you
know how it goes!
I took a bunch of pictures this week! I hope you
enjoy them! That´s so cool that Leya is going to Romania! Ahh she´ll be a great
missionary! Tomorrow i´m going to buy a Brazilian soccer jersey after district
meeting. Sister Colombre got her jersey in the mall for 20 dollars! I like hers
a lot! I said in my last email that it was Fall in Brazil, I was wrong. It´s
actually Winter. It´s getting closer to Spring. The Sisters told me that Spring
starts in September. It´s been really cold here. Like in the 30´s with wind
chill.
Well, I hope you enjoy my pictures! I hope you
have a great week! I love and miss you!!
