Oi! Tudbom!!

 

Hey so i am on pday today! I got to wake up at 6am and go to the Temple it was awesome!! It is pretty crazy here. Life is completly different its sunday everyday as everyone would expect hahah. I have a bunch of pictures but this computuer wont let me so i will go to 1M and send the pictures later today, and i have ran into Michayla, and Chad Pexton. Its pretty funny cuz Chad is in my same zone haha. The language is coming with time it is taking alot of work and a bunch of frustration. Its pretty crazzy tho! So the first day we got here, had no time to think as you all could imagine. We went straight to class and meetings all dayy. But bam first day were already learning the language. Second day we learn some more. Third day we taught our first lesson in portuguese!! So crazzzy! Since then we have taught the same investigator in portuguese 4 times! Its been intense. Let me tell you something tho no matter the language what ive experienced in the lessons is that no matter what if the spirit has a message it wants you to share you will share it. All of my lessons out of no where i have pulled random porutugese phrases out of no where and yesterday we challenged Pedro to baptismo it was awesome! Pai celestial is otimo!!! Pedro excepted baptism and its set for saturday. Now like im sure justin will say pedro is as we just found out actually our teacher. They played it off like he was an investigator though. The spirit was amazing in those lessons. We brought pedro to tears in our second lesson the spirit was so strong! eu belive em O livro de Mormon! I believe in A Igreja de jesus cristo dos santos dos ultimos dias! it is amazing being here.

 

 

So my companions name is Elder Davis! He is 18 and fresh out of high school. He is a super cool cat tho. He is philipino but from Gallop NM. He speaks togaloge (however you spell that) and this language is driving him insane just as much as me hahaha its intense and super exhausting. I swear i was looking around in the cafetiria the other day and the look on everones faces was the look of a zombie we are all so out of it. Its getting really crazzy cuz im slowly forgetting english and how to spell its weird. Everywhere i go as well i swear they are all speaking in portuguese! Last night i was in class and we were learning something and i was super confused but i didnt know about what and then i finally got up and one on one worked with the teacher than i realized i was confused because what i was reading was in english and i couldnt understand..... WHAT THE HECK!! hahaha super funny.

 

 

So besides being exhausted all the time me and Elder Davis run a 2 miles a day! its super killer late at night but its the only thing keeping us together haha ive actually been losing weight pretty funny!! No news on my visa yet although a sister in my district who is from florida left today to the brazil MTC because her visa came through. Kinda stinks tho cuz she just turned everything in last week and she already go her visa and ive been waiting since april. The consolate is strage like that tho. Everyone in our building is going to south america and its so funny and night we all get together and do our visa push-ups we just say visa over and over again while doing push-ups so funny. We are all pretty weird. Some days i wish i was just going stateside so i can almost be done here at the MTC and not have to worry about this stressful language and being here forever! Thats when i realize tho that God wants me to do better and to become better and thats why im doing all that ive been doing. Its pretty crazzy tho because i just get random envy for the state side missionaries. Today at the temple tho God calmed me down and let me know i could do it i mean ive taught 4 lessons in portuguese i just get frustrated to quick haha but he knows i can do it and i know i can so i just need to take it one step at a time and enjoy it all. God has been working miracles here through so many of us missionaries and no matter where we go, the whole reason we are here is to go where God wants us to go. I will go wherever God wants me to go! Has tanner got his call yet? If he goes foreign tell him to prepare so much before he leaves and to get ready for all it brings its alot on your plate but god knows you can handle it.

 

 

Love you all,
