Cake Anyone?


Monday- I am grateful for who I am, church pews, heart warming emails, and constancy.
Tuesday- I am grateful for Christmas music, updates, and satisfaction.
Wednesday- I am grateful for The Book of Mormon, outdoors, truck beds full of tangerines, A GOOD DAY!
Thursday- I am grateful for Eternity, the BOM, Batata palha, and happiness.
Friday- I am grateful for the scriptures, testimony, quality lessons, the poor, and THIS work.
Saturday- I am grateful for views, hymns, Christmas, and smiling.
Sunday- I am grateful for TODAY!, joy, fasting, prayers, Christmas, the Book of Mormon, flashbacks, and progress.


Full steam ahead out here in JundiaΓ­!

Our phone went through a whole afternoon of updates. That was frustrating, but hey more time to read The Book of Mormon.

Speaking of, I started reading it again (of course, it's the best book ever) and I'm circling all references to The Godhead, so Christ, God, and The Holy Ghost. It has been so good!! Any free time I've got I just want to be reading the Book of Mormon!!



Wednesday was a real good day. I mean a good day as in hard, satisfying work good. AND we were outside for most of it. 

At the end of this great day of work we were leaving the church and a homie with a truck bed full of tangerines pulls up and says, "Hey grab a sack and take as many as you want". Must've been one of the 3 Nephites πŸ˜‰

Quick week, sorta.

Real good week too.

A member gave us 2 pizzas for dinner one night this week and we were ecstatic. We ate little over one pizza and then were like huh should we keep the rest? After about 5 seconds Elder Sales said nah, let's give it to the poor. So we went outside and the first man I saw was a homeless guy. So, I offered him some pizza, he was hyped and asked if he could invite his friends. His friends came over and I've never seen a happier group of 4 homeless people in my life. It was amazing. I loved that. 


I am just so excited for Christmas you have no idea.

If you want an insightful study, read Daniel. Good stuff right there.

I've been flyinggggg through the Book of Mormon. My love has grown so much for it.



I had a flashback, since an American fresh out of the home MTC came to the district this week. It threw me for a loop to realize how far I have come as a missionary and with my Portuguese. I feel extremely blessed and to all those who feel like things will never get better, keep trying, they will. 



I love playing my guitar each night. "Silent night" and "O Holy Night" were top hits for me.

4 months until I see my Family πŸ˜€πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜„πŸ˜πŸ˜†πŸ˜…πŸ€£πŸ™‚πŸ˜Š☺πŸ€—πŸ˜πŸ˜ŒπŸ€
