I am getting my
reassignment on Friday (in the event that I don't get my VISA in the next 2
days... which, let me level with you for a minute, is pretty likely. No one in
my district has gotten one, and every other district has had a sudden burst.
You could say we are requiring extra faith.)
One of the Sister
Training Leader (AKA Zone Leader for women?), Sister Tilman, was reassigned
last Friday too...... SCOTTSDALE, AZ! No joke I almost died. I gave her mom's
cell and told her if she happens to ever be around Coronado High School area
she should call her up. She is seriously so awesome and I figure you could mine
her for some info on me. Which is... let's be real... why you talk to anyone.
Tell Sister DePaula I
say OIIII! And tell her if she prayed harder MAYBE I would already be there?
But really. Keep praying people. I can feel it coming!
Also, I'm glad
everyone liked the newsletter. I still haven't gotten one, but it's good to
know I'm not a total embarrassment to you!
How are Andrew/Ali/and
that cute BABE?! I keep meaning to write them and then I think, what do I have
to say other than Andrew I have SOOO much more respect for you. Spiritual
prison is... well... prison. Good for him. Also, how is his new job?! Depending
on when I fly out they'll be able to make the phone call? Or I can call him
real fast and leave a touching message he replays for the next year and a half?
Send me the
anniversary (photo) book! That would actually be really cool! Everyone asks to
see pictures of everyone all the time, and when you can't jump on Fbook to show
them, a book is the next best option? Maybe you should send your set of
encylopedias as well. Not having GOOGLE is killing us all. We debate things and
then we just have to believe whoever fights the hardest. That must've been how
it was in the old days yes?
ALSO, thank you SO
MUCH FOR THE COOKIES! They seriously made my whole life. Life made. Who knew
that's all I needed to be happy? Everyone makes fun of me because apparently I
"act like a ginger when I get hungry?" Interpret that as you will,
but I'm almost positive they mean Christlike.
When Irmao Read left
us, we got.... IRMAO SMITH! He has his masters in Portuguese sentence
structure... Like... what? He also speaks Spanish AND claims to have been the
worst in his class learning Portuguese before the mission. He said learning
Spanish was so easy though after Portuguese. And he is currently working on
French? THEN Irmao McGill is out of town again so we have Irmao Godoy (the
native). It's hilarious. And it makes us learn so much more because they are
both trying to teach us things before the other can "ruin" us.
Apparently 3 weeks ago they ran into each other on the streets of RIO and we envision
it looking something like West Side Story? It's fiiiine. Also, Irmao Godoy's
father gave a talk in General Conference in 2008 called "Testimony a
Process" (I think) and THAT'S our teachers papa! It's an amazing talk and
he worked on it forever so go take a look.
I know that Jesus
Christ died for us. I know that through him we can be clean and return to live
with our heavenly father. I know we have been sent here so that we can grow and
progress, and there will be trials in order to do that, but I know that he will
provide a way for us to accomplish the things which he has commanded us. I've
been reading 1 Nephi in my Portuguese study and I've gained a new appreciation
for it. When you fight to understand every word it really makes you realize
what he had to go through. But I know that if we follow the Lord's commandments
we will be blessed and can return to live with him forever.
BOM DIA! Eu amo voces!
