bad
●it’s getting
cold!! i thought i was a thick blooded midwest girl but this 9 degrees celcius
is already killing me! and it’s just starting! i sleep with leggings and big
sweat pants and a shirt and sweat shirt and wool socks with three blankets.
this is real life people. enjoy your heating systems. no, but seriously we are
so lucky. not just in the states… even here. i know some of the people i visit
and some of the members here are much colder every night. #noticeeveryonewearingcoatsinthebuildingatouractivity
●oh yeah, our
shower broke the other day... i refuse to take a cold shower. today i washed my
hair in the pot of warm water. the things i do to be a missionary...
●found out
father’s day is different here than in the states. what the heck???
just wait... all of southern brasil will be saying this by the time i leave. #iamacartooncharacternow
awk
●so this week
we got locked out of our house.... with the keys. yeah. idk how that happens
but it did. and it was night time and it was COLD. we tried for like 5 minutes
to get in.. then we were helpless and called the elders… which obviously didn’t
help anything. so then we asked our downstairs neighbor for help (we live in a
two story apartment house thing and downstairs is the cutest little lady and
her son who is like 30 or something). he came and tried but couldn’t get the
door to open either. so... then… yeah. long story short, we went to the back of
the house, i climbed a ladder, walked across the roof, crawled into our laundry
room, and opened the other side of the door with the key and kinda saved the
day #nbd.... oh yeah of course i was IN A SKIRT!
awesome
●so for the first
time while being a senior companion i knew we realllly needed new investigators
and i have absolutely no clue what i am doing. seriously. but we used the area book and managed to find
some really awesome new investigators this week. it’s amazing how missionary work
actually works. like people just let us, complete strangers, into their house
and when they are seeking they just love us so easily. and we love them too of course.
●this week i
officially became brazilian when i learned how to make pastels with cheese and
another with chocolate. YUM. i’m addicted. so unhealthy but whatever people
keep saying i got skinny here, so i can right?
did you read that??? i'm officially brazilian!
anyways. this week was good! things are getting better. i’m
really excited for the potential that is building here in santiago, brasil.
this week i started studying more of the book Jesus the Christ and that
book is seriously amazing. i love how much i learn about my Savior and Heavenly
Father.
so. life is good. things are looking up. two of our new
investigators are a mom and her son. we invited them to the minute to win it activity
but she couldn’t go because she takes care of her mom, but her son said he
would go with us. he’s 12. i didn’t know in the end if he would really have the
courage to go alone, but we went to get him and his mom said he was so excited,
it’s all he could talk about and then… he got sick! i was so sad. then we tried
to visit them the next day and his mom had taken him to the hospital :( things
will get better! he has to get baptized so they have to get better :)
yeah well i love you all! have a good week! everyone…. get ready
for the CUP!!!! go brasil!
start wearing your green and gold ASAP!!!
