Week 57 Santarem

Hey everyone! Tudo bem!?

Another great week here in Brasil! We have stayed really busy this week talking and teaching a lot of our friends. Normally in a day we do our studies and teach some lessons over the phone. And then we run to lunch and enjoy an amazing meal with some amazing members. And then after lunch we are running between lessons in different parts of our area. Our area is huge so we plan which part of our area we visit each day. And at night we teach more lessons over the phone and are contacting more people to visit the next day. Its honestly really busy and really amazing. And tiring hahaha 

This week I saw more animals! We are walking down a big road on the way to lunch and I looked in the tree on my right and there a foot away from my face was a little monkey! My comp and I rushed to take out our phone and take some photos but it started to run away so we didn't get a good picture. But we stayed for a second. Surely there were more. And sure enough, we started seeing a lot monkeys jumping between trees! It seemed like there was an army that just started running away! It was pretty great, and we got some photos of them running away. I also saw a parrot! We were visiting a member in a little town and my comp pointed to the tree and said "Look at the parrot!" And sure enough just a parrot big chilling in their front yard. Aparently it stays there and its really old. And then the other day we were walking in the city and we started hearing a scream. So on our way to our lesson we pass the sound and see nothing. And then we look in the tree and see that a parrot is screaming to the whole world! So these are some of my experiences with animals this week! Hope you enjoyed! 

This week I was reading in the Book of Mormon when Alma is talking to his son and in Alma 36 He kept repeating the message that keeping the commandments of God is a guarantee to happiness! And it really is! It is not a guarantee of easiness or a stress-free life. But it is a promise of happiness and the Lord always fulfills his promises. If you take that step of faith he will fill your life with more hope and joy than you can imagine! 

That is about all for this week, and now pictures!
