My week is was crazy hard. I am really struggling with the language but it is ok. I am so ready for the field and I know the lord will help me. Thank you for everything you have done for me. Please tell Chris I love him and have been keeping him in my prayers. I hope things go well this year in school.
I actually bought some new scriptures in portugues because the ones they gave us aren't very good. I need to trade in all of my american money I have though. T
That is so cool to here about Devin!! ah i love him so much, he is going to do so great. And that is cool to here about the Bassetts. I am super excited for them.
My last week in the ctm!!! So sad, it is so cool here. but I am also ready to head out to the field. By the way if i don't email next week it is because I don't have a pday since I am in the field and it already passed. This week was awesome, and really hard too, but it will always be hard. Some funny things that happened this week, irmao oliveira is the best, this week he found out that elder Pulsipher worked in an old folks home before and so he always pretends to be an old man and say, elder Pulispher ajude-me usar o banheiro.... hahaha it is so funny. It means help me use the bathroom. plus elder Southwick and elder Welch joke with us everyday. It was sad though because elder Southwick left yesterday for the field.
Cool story, I met an instuctor who is planning on trying out for Real Salt lake soon. I talked to him about the recruiting process and it was so cool. I am taking a picture with him today.
The language is super hard but it is coming along!! I love it anyways. I know the gift of tongues is real though. I am doing so good on lessons and this last week I gave a talk in sacrament meeting completely in portuguese. I didn't stutter at all either. It was stellar. Saturday we went proselyting and it went way better than the first time. We got four referrals and it was so cool. One man gave us a fake number at first but then found us later on and apologized and he said he felt like he should give us his number because he felt a burning. It was awesome. Then we tried to talk to an old lady and she yelled at us for being so happy and walked away. We were so confused. Jere in Brazil it is so poor and it is hard to see all of the nice people struggling in life, but i am glad I get to help them. I was able to give two blessings this week and I just want to bare my testimony on the power of the priesthood. It is so true and i know that I have the priesthood to bless the lives of others.
I think i will be taking a plane to Belo Horizonte next Tuesday. There is an airport there. Everything is going good though. I love you so much mom haha yah we had those cookies the first week but they are too expensive, now we just buy churros. I will have a lot more to say next week or in two weeks. but i love you so much and miss you a lot.. i think about you guys!! also i got the pictures you sent me, i love them and i think about you all the time. especially you Chris, I love you, don't ever give up!! Love you so much.
