Oi familia! So just so Mom doesnt worry, I did go see the chiro and physical thearpist bcz my back has been hurting but I am just going so that they can stretch it out and teach me how to stretch it better so that I can take care of it myself, no big deal.Also marcos was right I do need really good soles that is also why my back is in a little pain. Also Mom please pay attention when I say this. SO A LOT OF MISSIONARIES HERE AT THE MTC ARE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING VISAS, AND A LOT OF THOSE MISSIONARIES ARE THE ONES GOING TO BRAZIL. SO BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT THESE MISSIONARIES WAITING THE ENTIRE TIME FOR THEIR VISAS IN THE MTC THEY TEMPORARLY REASSING THEM SOMEWHERE STATE SIDE, AND WHEN THEIR VISA GETS THROUGH THEY IMMEDIATLEY SEND THEM TO BRAZIL, OR WHEREVER THEY ARE GOING. SO I WILL MOST LIKELY GET TEMPORARLY REASSIGNED ANYWHERE STATE SIDE, AND WHEN I DO THEY WILL LET ME CALL HOME TO LET YOU KNOW WHERE AND WHEN I WILL BE LEAVING. SO BRAZIL IS STILL MY MISSION BUT I CANNOT GO THERE WITHOUT A VISA SO WE SERVE IN THE STATES UNTIL WE CAN LEAVE.
Anyways, this week has gone by fast, we had the privledge to hear from Russell M. Nelson speak, he was so cute and him and his wife talked a lot about how people on the other side of the veil are rooting for us to go find their famlies, and that the people we do find and teach, their families on the other side played a huge part in finding them because they are prompting us and helping us find these people who are ready. Also my branch president told us that Brazil must have some anxious people on the other side because Brazil has been on fire lately. I believe it. And also Elder Nelson and his wife told us missionaries that we can pray for angels to be with us, and those angels can be people in our family who have passed away. I just thought that was really neat to hear. I never really thought about how involved those people are on the other side. Also Mom if you could send me our family history chart that would be great, because I was suppose to bring it and now that every devotional tends to be about family history I feel guilty not having it.
Well, I dont know what else to say, um.. my district is speaking much more portuguse and my portuguse is coming along pretty well. I am learning how to be more disciplined with my time and I am trying my best to work diligently and not get distracted, I know that study time is important and the more obedient I am with it the better I feel. Also Angela did you ever have TALL time, where it was language study on the computer? Well I try so hard not to fall asleep during that time haha but hey I am getting up early everyday and going none stop until 10:30. Marcos would say, "Welcome to the Mission." haha.
Well I have gone to the Provo Temple, it is nice, today I even ate some breakfast there, it was a nice break from the food here. Also Angela I was getting worried because I didnt receive any dear elders from you this week haha. Also thank you Mom for the package. I loved the letters from the boys and I dont even know what to do with all of that candy!
Another cool thing that we get to do here is TRC. Which is we actually get to meet with real people, they are volunteers and we get to share with them a message in portuguese of course, but they are not acting so we really do have to help them with whatever it is they need. I like doing that. Well I defenitly feel more focused now then ever before, and being in a trio companionship is hard, we have companionship inventory like every other day haha but we work through it, it all works out eventually. Ohh and on Sunday for Relief Society Janice Kap Perrry spoke to us and we got to sing all of her songs, and we even got to sing a new song that she just wrote that is specifically for sister missionaries. Everyone was emotional when we sang it, and she is going to be releasing a sister missionary cd out soon with that song. She said we were the first sisters that ever sang that song so that was pretty cool. I cant wait for that cd to come out. And after Relief Society, we got to meet her! So I have about 2 more weeks left, and also you should be expecting a phone call before I leave the MTC so you know where I am going.
Also I hate these timer things on the computer haha Angela knows what I am talking about, but now they give missionaries an hr to write emails. Ah I feel like P days are the most stressfull days haha but its good. Well I cant think of anything else, but Mike and Vanessa is Josh here at the MTC ill be on the look out for him, and tell Gianina I love her and I miss her. Also Dad how can I write to Stella is there an address or something you could give me. Well thanks again for the package, and angela dont worry me again by not writing a dear elder haha jk but I was wondering. Well I am sad the Warrios lost, my mission could only bless them so much haha. Time sure is flying, glad you are all doing well.
Eu te amo!
