OKAY HELLO WORLD
OKAY HELLO WORLD
I'M FINALLY OUT OF THE CTM
So I'm in a little city here in São José do Rio Preto and it's gorgeous! It reminds me of a little town in California that my family drives through all the time. Also, when I was flying into Ribeirão Preto, I looked out the window and just saw rolling fields and little manicured, well, fields hahaha and it was GORGEOUS. I felt like I was flying in to a land out of a Shannon Hale book and I just kept thinking, "Wow, I can't believe this is where God needs me to serve." I love it!
This week has been nothing and everything I expected in terms of walking a bunch (LOL). Also, it's very hot. Haha but I'm acclimating so that's good.
Sorry my brain is so frazzled right now!!
OH okay so I thought I was gonna get a Brazilian trainer (missionary who has been out in the field longer than me whose job is to train me on how to be a missionary) but she's American and not only that SHE'S FROM VEGAS (well, Moapa Valley, but close enough). Her name is S' German and she's so excited to work all the time and smiling and happy. Love love love her. She's so patient and such an example to me and she's awesome awesome awesome. She also did a year at BYU and pretty much how did I not know her before??? Hahaha oh and she rarely every speaks English to me so that's good for me to practice.
Oh and I have 61498437998 mosquito bites so I probably have Zika or something oh well
As for spiritual things, there are SO MANY I can't think of them all at this moment but I will tell you about this little experience we had last night. We were out tracting (hahaha when missionaries knock and doors and people pretend they're not home LOL) and this lady came out and we talked to her a little bit about God and she told us she wasn't really interested or very religious but we asked to say a prayer with her and she said ok and so we did and when we opened our eyes, she had tears in hers and I KNOW that God touches hearts and I KNOW that God answers each of our prayers in ways they we individually understand them.
Life is good here in Brazil and I love you and miss you and I hope that next week's email is better!
Todo o meu amor,
