Last Tuesday we went to the Campinas temple, which is in my mission! It is super pretty and sits on a hill that over looks the city of Campinas and it is a HUGE city AHH!
We started TRC's this week which is where we teach an "investigator" from the beginning (meeting them-Baptism) and it is so awesome! It was easier than I thought and I'm good at preparing what to say ahead of time haha. I'm not very good at speaking just on the fly but that will come eventually.
I got to watch the Light The World video and holy cow it was amazing!! I felt the Spirit so strongly and felt so much peace, I invite you all to take the time to watch the 17 minute long video uninterrupted if you haven't already.
We had a sub for one of our morning classes this week and we were practicing pronunciation and apparently he liked my voice because he said that it was beautiful. I've never had anyone say that to me, haha.
During another TRC this week I felt so happy! I recognized how much progress I had made in one day! The gift of tongues is real if you work for it and PRAY!
You always hear that like, "oh your family is going to be so blessed because you are serving a mission", and usually you think about like your family at home. But, I learned today that not only will my current family at home be blessed, but my future family will be too! The mission is the best place to make life changing changes.
President Nelson is the best, I love the prophet.
Sundays are the best days.
Everyone in my district is saving up all their snacks that they get everyday so that we can have a Thanksgiving, it's going to be so great.
SO I had to get a haircut because my hair came to the edge of the top of my eyebrows apparently. So I go to get a haircut and the old guy doesn't speak English and I only speak a little Gospel Portuguese, not even like regular Portuguese. So anyways, there was some definite miscommunication and he shaved my sides at a 2 and the top at 3, so basically I am bald and I look like an elf. But its fine because now I can be humble and my hair will grow back eventually. Haha You guys should've seen my face when he started just shaving off all my hair on top.
Pure hearts, clean minds, and willing hands
tchau amigos
Its the thought that counts
