REVOLUÇÃO

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! (I am indeed making a pie today grammy, you should be proud ;)

highlights! 

- taught my comp quite possibly the most important word in English: "field trip!" (More updates on that next week)

- ate chicken foot for the first time

- one morning, during my morning routine, I grabbed some couscous and eggs to eat, and while eating I had the weirdest sensation of "what the heck am I doing? eating couscous and eggs like it's normal?" I guess I'm becoming more Bahian than I thought.

- we came home from a really hard day, and Sister Bueno had homemade CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES waiting for us. I just about cried.

- Had a fun time starting a noite de integração with the ward! The ward is getting to know my competitive side more and more (idk if that's a good thing or not)

- The work in Dias D'Ávila and Mata is going so good! We were able to put 4 of our friends on date this week! They've all got their obstacles, but with prayers it will all work out! It's been so awesome to see these people progress and have the desire to learn more and come to church! 

- spiritual thought! Mosiah 7:33 "But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind, if ye do this, he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage." I shared this scripture with an investigator this week and asked him what bondage meant. He answered with "what I'm passing through right now is bondage." I was able to bear my testimony to him that through trusting Christ, His mission, His Atonement, and His gospel with all of our heart, we can be freed from our bondage. As we learn to rely on Jesus and follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost, He will deliver us. (cue the prince of egypt music). Every single time.

life is good :)
love you all

Welcome to Bahia

Image
  highlights!!! - last p-day I was talking with an elder in my mission in our chapel who is from Brazil. We were just chatting when we hear gunshots outside. He then goes "welcome to Bahia". The members told me that when I see a person with a gun, i just say "arma bonita" (beautiful gun) and keep walking, so yep, here we go - one day when we were out tracking we were hungry so we got some açai from this cute little store. Lets just say we got the owner and his family's phone number so hopefully we can teach them and get free açai hehe - we take basically the same road everyday into the main neighborhood of our area. And one day on this road, we saw a cute little old lady out on her porch with some grandkids. We went up and started talking to her, and she was soooo sweet. She even gave us popsicles. We got her number and told her we would come back the next day. So we come back the next day, same thing, super sweet and free popsicles. We pass by again on our way ...

Job's Not Finished

Job's finished? Job's not finished.  We're working até o pozinho and got some serious miracles cooking for the next few weeks.  - Kaike! Pray for Kaike! - Ariane! Pray for Ariane!  - had my last zone conference and had to give my last testimony to the mission! Very bittersweet! - President took everyone who is finishing their mission this transfer to a Bahia soccer game, which included but was not limited to VIP tickets, unlimited free food, and watching president cheer silently for the opposing team. That's all I got for now, but as for a spiritual thought: I've been thinking a lot recently about one of the Savior's encounters with the Apostles after His resurrection. He found them fishing and asked Peter 3 times if he loved Him more than he loved the fish. John 21:17 "He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was greived because He said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto Him, Lord, thou knowest all...

  HOLY CRAP SHE'S ACTUALLY IN SALVADOR This week has been craaazzzyyy, let me tell ya. I'm currently living in an apartment with 5 sisters, and we have 1 phone, so not too much time, but I'll tell you the good stuff - HIGHLIGHTSSSSS So the church really just decided to throw a curve ball and change it all up over here. 1) new preach my gospel - updated on our literal last day at the ctm, so we've got to learn it all again. 2) the day I arrived in my mission, I learned that it is no longer Salvador south, but now just Salvador. Ill send a pic of the new boundaries, but just know that it changed a lot, like a lot. Which means that the past 4 days have been crazy with missionaries getting reassigned and all. However, this means that the Salvador temple which should be done in about a year will be in my mission which is exciting!! My area!!! I'm currently serving in Parque da Cidade! Its an area right in the city on the coast and the chapel is right on the beach hehe. I...
