LOVING MY BIG HAIR

 

 

EDSON'S CIGS IN THE TRASH!!

 

This week flew by. I swear each week gets faster and faster. This is good and bad at the same time. Edson is progressing really well. Found out that he doesn`t have a testimony in prophets so we are going to work on that. If you don`t have a testimony of Joseph Smith then it`s all out the window. But he said he would go to General Conference in October so we are pretty happy about that. Ok so let`s get to the funny story. So as you have all seen from my pictures I have big hair down here in Brasil and I love it. Apparently other things love it too. The other night when we came home Sis Mon was like Sister what is in your hair. I was like oh no what? She pulled out some leaves, and a candy wrapper. I was like what the heck. Then we are walking in the street and I am talking to her and then I feel something in my hair but keep on going. After a while there was a huge fly nesting in my hair. I of course flipped out and started making this scene in the street in broad daylight  yelling in Portaglish which is a mixture of the two it was crazy. She was lauging so hard. These things always happen to me in the street. Crazy times in Brasil. But this work is amazing. It`s not always easy but I love it to death.. Ain`t no place I`d rather be...

 

Elder Godoy

 

Oi gente tudo bem? This week flew by again. Friday we had an awesome conference with Elder Carlos Godoy who is the area seventy here in Brasil. It was really cool. He is amazing. We had this amaizng training with him and his wife who also served a mission and with President Martins and his wife so cool. It`s rare to have two couples and the four of them in total served a mission. This week has been good as far as our investigators progressing. Edson is doing really well. He still doesn`t feel confident enough in himself and in the Lord for that matter to be baptized but he is half way through the Book of Mormon.... Kimberley and Cristina who are a mother and daughter duo and Cristina has five more kids are a really cool family I like them a lot. And all seven of them where at church yesterday that was way fun. I loved it. They said they had a great time. September 7 was the "4th of July" here so we had a recent convert throw a BBQ for Edson and a few members it was a hit. Gots to love that integration. There are a few familes that we will be leaving behind this week becasue they aren`t ready to follow Christ. It`s always so hard to leave them behind but it will be all good, the Lord will place in our path a family that wants and is ready to follow the Lord. This week Sis Mon made me "what you eat when your broke breakfast" and what would that be fried eggs with farofa. Yummy. And then I showed her. I threw so peanut butter and jelly in a cup mixed it a bit and threw a spoon in it. She was like what is that. I told her to be quiet and just eat it. She loved it. She was laughing so hard and has been telling everyone. So funny. Two new food items that are super differnt to us but not to them that I tried this week. You eat your lunch with the rice, beans, salad, meat and a chopped up banana. Yummy!!! They do this in the south of Brasil, and it`s so dang good. Ice cream with jello. I know right, huh? No it`s amazing. Who knew. This work is amazing gente, everyday I get to walk in the street and share the gosepl with my brothers and sisters.. Which gosepl means GOOD NEWS!! O evangelho de Jesus Cristo è perfeito!

 

Boa Semana Gente... remember who you are!!!!!!!

Time Flys When Your Working for the Lord

This week flew by. It was a good flew by if you know what I mean. Of course there was a lot of silliness that went along. Working in the street everyday is so funny. And even more funny in a different idomia. So Edson had a bad relapse but we got him back on track and he is amazing. He was at church yesterday and was feeling the remorse that he didn`t to feel for the things that he did. Plus our friend Tadeu who is Edson friend as well is helping us a lot. And we found some other really cool people to help. One thing that I have learned from my mission is the amazing incredible power of the Atonement. Working with Edson has really opened my eyes to the power of forgivness. Because I know for a fact if I was his friend or whatever before the mission and was trying to help him follow Christ and he relapsed I would drop him like a hot pocket. To know that Christ died for every single persons sins is mind blowing and very humbling. And to know that we can always can to him again. This gospel is amazing. I don`t know where I would be without it. And I get to share this gospel with people everyday!!!!!!!!!!

 

Tcahu, boa semana,
