Primero tudo bem! Mom, why did you send me those quotes? But thank you my companions really liked them. Are you going to send me the book Angela made, and my family history chart? Please do! Also this Sunday Bishop called us up at the end of sacrament meeting to bear our testimonies. He made me go last, and when I was done he announced that I am waiting for my VISA and that the ward next week should fast for my VISA to come. I really appreciated him doing that for me and I thanked him after and he told me he knows its going to work. Although the members were mad at him and said they would be fasting for the opposite because they don't want me to leave haha but I hope they really do fast for my VISA, so if you all could fast this Sunday for my VISA that would be great!
Also, this lady that is so funny, we call her the eternal investigator because she comes to church every sunday just isn't baptized. Well she got all mad at me for not telling her I am leaving, and she said tell me when you leave so I can give you some money. I said uh no thats okay, and she chewed me out haha, she said dont uh me! So I just laughed.
Also a family that we visit every Sunday, bcz their Dad is not a member well this Sunday Sister gave us a bunch of food and she gave me a nice backpack, and told me it was for Brazil because I would need it. I was planning to get one before I left or while I was there, but that was really nice of her to give me. The members here spoil us too much. I have been getting a feeling though that my VISA will come... but for now I am really growing to love each investigator and just feel sad for those who reject the Book of Mormon.

I have seen so many miracles since I have been out here. We have a dinner appointment pretty much every day it is great. We went to eat Dinner with this family called the DeMaso's. Brother DeMaso is italian and on the licence plate on his car says Nono. He is just the best haha they are such a sweet old couple. And sister DeMaso is very into family history work. Bro Demaso looked a little bit like the Picture of Nono...Mom I do not really know anything about Nono maybe you can tell me more about him, is his temple work done? Maybe he can be a guiding angel for me on my mission, I want to know my family on the other side.
Well I am getting more and more comfortable teaching and talking to people, and I know once I go to Brazil I will be back to square one, with the language and teaching that is why it is a little frustrating, but I know the Lord will help me as long as I study diligently.
The other day when we went door knocking, a cat kept following us to every door haha like he wanted to be apart of us it was just funny. The last door we knocked on the guy was an athiest and a veteran. He pretty much chewed us out, and wouldnt stop talking. It was me and my trainer standing on the step and my other comp behind us...He didnt scare me for some reason, I didnt feel scared, I actually felt protected and comfortable talking to him...I felt like there were angels next to us. My trainer eventually pulled out a picture of christ and just held it next to her, he didnt say anything about it and I thought oh I should do that too, and I looked down and I was already holding a picture of Christ in my hand, I guess that is why I felt peace. Well, anyways we eventually were able to leave, and my comp got really scared...and I mean really scared. Although, I did feel fine and at peace...but its just how it is going to be...some people are going to be ruthless, but the guy acted like he knew a lot which he did, but he did not know who our Savior is, and that is where I felt peace because no one can ever make me doubt who my Savior is and what He did for me.
Well anyways, I hope you are all doing well and I cannot believe! that mom and mike are actually going to Argentina I never thought I would see the day! Enserio! Oh, I have been able to practice my spanish while out here with some people, I went up to this man and said hola, me chama hermana Gonzales, and then my trainer went up to him and said hola,hermana sister richardson haha it was funny but atleast she tried. Well I love all of you and Mom please please! Could you send me the book angela made and my family history chart! And you never did tell me about your conversion story. Well keep safe. Eu te amo!
Com amor, Hermana Gonzales
ohhh p.s. Mom this should make you proud...We go visit this lady we call her grandma judy, she is one of the members granmother who is not a member, but she is very musically talented and we sing with her and practice songs once a week. Well I suck at singing but I told her I play the piano..so this week I actually got to play and she gave me some music to practice...so I started playing it and she was really impressed and said I was doing great! Then I was just playing a hymn (that we might sing in sacrament, I will be playing the piano) and when I was finished she said you play with feeling and are very musically inclined. I thought wow I never would have thought that about me! But she is so good at what she does that it meant a lot to me to hear her say that because I thought I sucked but believe me she would tell you if you sucked haha...so I am practicing the piano and I am doing so much better at it. Just thought that would make you proud mom. Also please send the book and family history chart. :] Obrigada muchas gracias!
