Bom dia gente! Tudo bem!?
This
week was an up and down week. We had some good things that happened and
a lot of our activities and lessons fell through, or they were canceled
right before it happened. But we managed to stay relatively busy.
Also
this week I had a great experience com Portuguese! We were visiting a
member and we got know him and then when we were leaving we talked to
some of their friends for a couple minutes and when we were leaving they
asked where in Brasil I was from and when I said I was from the US they
were pretty surprised. And it wasn't mocking, I have seen that a lot,
hahaha. I think they thought I was Brazilian because they were drunk.
Besides
that it was a pretty basic week in Brasil, lots of walking, talking,
and laughing. As always, the members are spectacular. Also, I tried a
new shake/smoothie this week. It is Guaraná da Amazona! It is soooo
good! Every night that we pass this certain vender we buy it, cause it
is irresistible!
This
week I read a scripture in Mosiah 21, verses 6-16. The people in this
scripture were put under abundant affliction, lots of terrible things
were happening to them, and so, they humbled themselves before God and
asked for his help. And this part stood out to me: God did not remove
their trials or afflictions, but he gave them strength to get through it
and eventually things were much better. I think in our own lives it is
often like this. We are all given many trials and we may be pleading
with God to remove our trials, and God is just pleading for us to act in
faith, move forward, and to let Him make you something better than you
could imagine.
And now pictures!

This
is all for now! Feel free to email me if you would like or if you have
any questions or people to pray for! Hope y'all have a great week!
Com muito amor,
