No its not what you think! haha oiiii familia e amigos!
In Centro Civico for another transfer finishing my training with Sis C & I couldnt be happier! not gonna lie, 2 weeks ago was pretty rough but this past week was A LOT better.
But I'll get to that later.
First off, Id like to start off this email/blog post with a bit of fun. Ive decided that Brazil has the worst drivers of any country EVER. But I mean that in the nicest possible way.
K, so to steal a scene from a popular 90s movie, if Brazil were a student driver & asking her/his instructor how they did, Id imagine this response:
"Howd you do? Well... lets see shall we?!
You cant park
You cant switch lanes
You damaged private property
& you almost killed someone
Offhand? Id say you failed."
Mas.... tudo bem haha.
Now to the slightly more spiritual stuff. This week was amazing because this past sunday C (who was confirmed last week & my first real baptism) recieved the Aaronic Priesthood :)
Well needless to say, me & Sis C were thrilled! We also found out he went to Mutual by himself. Seriously, a kid thats among the elect. So happy we found him. One day hes gonna be a powerful missionary & I hope Im here when he gets his mission call! :)
This same sunday, Irmao B, Irmao M & Irma O worked a miracle for us. They collected 37 references for me & Sis C. Were lucky to get 10 on a good day....
seriously MILAGRES!
& as a small, tender mercy, the adorable brasilera meninas (little girls) gave me 2 notes during church which reminded me of my neices & nephews.
Well, other than that not much has happened. Trying super hard to help O realize that gospel is true. Hes seriously the sweetest man ever! And cries every time we talk about eternal families & temples because of his wife.
Ughh! Pray SUPER hard this week family! I want so much for him to be baptized & go through the temple. Me & Sis C have felt that his wife is being prepared on the other side of the veil to get her work done.
Also, Im preparing a lil special something to send to yall for Christmas :) but you cant open it till Christmas Eve!!! got it?? good!
Anyway, love yall so much. Remember to not get caught up in the tinsel & shiny wrapped commericalism of Christmas. Obviously, have fun, but remember the real reason we celebrate Christmas. Our Savior has never fogotten us & we should make sure to never EVER forget him.
Love yall so much!!!
xoxo
by the way, this lil pic Im sending Id like to call the "neopolatin effect"
