Sorry my email is a little late this week. We had a zone activity this morning and didn´t get back to Guará II until 3 pm. Anyway, this week I am going to have 7 months in the mission. Can you believe it?! Yesterday was Sister Muniz´s 4 month mark.
This
past week was really great. I went on exchange with Sister Moraes in
Lago Norte which means I got to see Sister Munger because she is serving
there, too, and I got to work out in the fitness center! Woo hoo!! I
woke up at 5:45am to be in the gym at 6am when it opened. It felt so
good to work out! The time with Sister Moraes was helpful and I learned a
lot with her. At night, Sister Munger, Sister Carlomagno and I made
s´mores :)
Yesterday, I gave my first talk in a
sacrament meeting here in Brasil. It was about missionary work (go
figure) and it was supposed to be 7-10 minutes. When I got the
assignment last week I thought, "How am I going to manage to talk for
even 7 minutes in Portuguese?" But I ended up having a ton more to say
than I thought I would. I talked for 10 minutes and everything went
well. The first minute I was nervous but after that I felt comfortable.
Everyone
in Guará II jokes that I am a member in the ward now because I have
been there so long haha. We have transfers next week so we´ll see what
happens. This also means my email will probably be a little later in the
day. I think I will be transferred but who knows. Last transfer I
really wanted to be transferred but this transfer I would be ok staying
here one more. At the end of the day I know it doesn´t matter what I
want haha. I´ll go wherever I am needed. I am going to take advantage of
this last week with Sister Muniz!! She has been my favorite companion
in Brasil thus far. She has helped me a ton! This transfer has, by far,
been my favorite here.
I´ve
included some pics. Hope everyone is doing well!! I love you all very
much!! Make sure you are always nice to foreigners because it´s kind of
frustrating when people don´t even make an effort to understand what I
am saying. Brasilians always tell me that Americans don´t make an effort
to understand them when they go to the US. Try to have patience with
people who are learning English! Help them :)
Love you all!!
