Well I got some pics from my companions in my district from the MTC and they are all in Brazil now...eu espero soon I can join them.
Well this week was great! We have set a baptismal date for this girl we are teaching her name is Brandi. She is super prepared and can' t wait to be baptized so we will see we still have to teach her a few more lessons first. She is a great mom she has two little boys and she never yells at them I see a lot of parents who yell at their kids and are just kind of mean to them but she isn't. She is great and I am so excited for her!
We are also teaching this couple who are a trip. haha they are so crazy I think the lady has skitsafrenia(idont know how to spell it) but I am not sure but she cannot sit still and when we were teaching them yesterday she started playing music and dancing but she cried during the restoration video haha so I don't know these are special people for sure never a dull moment and definitely only something you can experience on the mission.

Marcos asked me if I was close to a campus well this week we had trade-offs and so I got to spend the day on a college campus with different sisters. It was so much fun I really enjoyed being in a different atmosphere, sometimes its just nice to get out of your area for a little bit. I had a ton of fun being there and teaching people my age although it was weird being on a campus again because you forget that people have lives and go to school and have a social life too haha.
This week while door knocking we met this really nice family. They were not too interested in the church but were just really kind people and fun to talk to. They take in kids who do not have a structure home with dysfunctional parents and all that. So when we told them we were away from home they invited us over for thanksgiving and christmas. We asked them if we could share a message if we came over they said of course. So we might go there for thanksgiving as well as a members house...or I might not even have a thanksgiving because I will be in Brazil. Who knows.
We also had half-mission training this week it was good we got to see other missionaries too.
church is stressful now haha especially with our crazy investigators and members talking your ear off and needing to talk to a million people haha....
But when people were leaving I was talking to this girl who was 10 I feel so bad for her bcz her parents are splitting up and she just looked so sad waiting for her mom and so I shared my candy with her it was the sour patch straws that we always used to buy haha...she liked them and she lightened up and started smiling and she was telling me about school and other stuff so I like those moments because even though church is always crazy now I like that I can talk to someone,eat candy and just relax for a minute so I was grateful for that opportunity.
Anyways.... I know my birthday is coming up and I am not looking forward to getting older I cannot believe it is a year since president monson made his historical announcement! I can't wait for conference. It sounds like you are all doing well, and I am going to start eating healthier too!
Te Amo!
