Jamie {Peterson-Arnett} is SO PREGGERS! I am dying. I love it! And the
blanket {Haley picked the yarn/colors Erika crocheted} looks awesome mom! So grateful you are always adopting my
friends! Dad- buck up, scorpions are nothingggg {stung a week ago on the finger - still swollen and sore}! Just
kidding, I found a cockroach in my suitcase two days ago and screamed
like a little girl - second one in a week. I still haven't received
the package, but we have interviews next Tuesday, so if it has come
Presidente will bring it I think! Its crazy here whenever someone gets a
package or mail it has to travel through like 15 missionaries to get to
us. And then you have to hold it, while standing, on a PACKED bus,
usually for at least an hour or two. Then walk 3 miles uphill (in the
snow? JOKE) to your house. So I wont forget to tell you when I get it.
It will be a big deal! Hahaha.
So last week I went on divisions. I think I told
you? BUT while I was there I happen to see the Harry Potter books! NOT
KIDDING. And my companion and I had been talking the week before about
what the house names would be in Portuguese. This is important. PROMISE.
So turns out they are hilarious. And my faves is LUFA LUFA. AKA
Hufflepuff.
So we were making a list this last week of people
who have already been to church twice and could be baptized immediately.
And I was like... Low Hanging Fruit... LWF...How would you even say
that? LUFE? LufAAA! LUFA LUFA! And so the milagre (miracle) list was
born! Our Lufa-lufa has spawned milagres fo DAYS.
My favorite is that we had 3 baptisms this weekend?
Okay only one was technically ours. TAMIRES!!!! She is the best. We
asked her to be baptized on like... quarta feira (Wednesday) and she was
like- SIM! So we said Domingo? Before church? Of course! It is so great
to find people of great faith who understand the need for baptism by
proper authority! AHHH. I love that girl. She has this little boy Kevin
who I might potentially steal... of course its against the rules so....
The other baptisms- one was the Zone Leaders, but under doctors orders
they can't leave their house for a week. Can you say dengue? Doglas always
comes to our ward anyway, so we did them a solid and the whole district
took a picture with THEIR baptism. It was hilarious. (The elders were
here to interview our baptism and the Sisters serve in the same ward as
us!) Then the Sisters had a baptism after church of a woman who has been
going to church for 7 years. Eliane. She is amazing. And also very
pregnant. Don't worry, we filled up the font REAL FULL.
We had a lesson in this bairro kind of far away, so
we ask an Irmao to come with us. Then his whole family came? Like
EXTENDED. So we had a lesson with 7 investigators (a family) and like 10
members? AKA we had a festa. It was probably the funniest thing that
has happened in a month. Sometimes I sit back and think... wait... am I
really here? Is this really happening? I know I'm where Heavenly Father
needs me, but sometimes its surprising to find yourself somewhere you
know?
Anyway. I love you and miss you dearly! I promise
I'll brush up on my English before Mothers Day (JOKE- my companion is
American!) Hahaha. Sister Martins called the other day because I
had a little cold and she wanted to tell me what medicines I could buy
for being stuffed up. She goes...
-SISTER FULLER?
-Não, sou Sister Mills.
-SISTER MILLS?! VOCÊ È FALANDO EM PORTUGUES MUITO BEM! EU ACHEI QUE VOCÊ FOI SISTER FULLER!
Aka my portuguese is improving? I think?
Anyway, LOVE YOU MISS YOU! BYEEEEEE!
Sister Mills
