Hello Hello,
Exciting news this week! I found out a few hours ago that I will be training!!!!! I think her name is Sister Matus. She is Brazilian, thank goodness! I can't imagine two Americans together that have trouble speaking!! :) My companion, Sister Pires Santos, will be transfered and continue training my MTC companion in Liveramento!! I think it's out by the boarder. I don't have a ton of details, I felt like I had a lot more to say about that but I guess that's about it. It will definately be a learning experience and I will have to grow a lot!!! But it will be good, it will be a opportunity to grow with my companion!!
It was great getting to talk to part of the family yesterday!! Sorry the cell phone is weak and kept cutting out, for Christmas I will be at a members house and hopefully even though it's international it will be a good connection. I will have more time then so we can dividide the time between families and have a chance to talk with everyone!!! I guess at least with everone that is home for Christmas!! So talking of Christmas, it's getting colder here so I naturally want to sing Christmas hymns, and everytime I do I get the feeling of christmas and fireplaces and making goodies and shopping for gifts and the smell of snow at night and all of those good memories then I remember it's only June here and Christmas will be HOT!!! Hotter then anything I have ever experienced before!!!!! So that will be an interesting change!! :)
I gave a talk yesterday, I don't know how much everyone understood over the phone, but I had 30 minutes to prepare while participating in our gospel principles class. Brazilians really are generously nice, but it's greatly appreciated. I learn more everyday!
I LOVE YOU ALL. My testimony of families keeps growing. Families really can be together forever when they make and keep covenants with our Heavenly Father. It's amazing how our testimonies grow, we really do have to study, have a desire and share it to make it grow. What we keep to ourselves will be lost but what we share will grow. Divine laws are great! It's all perfect for imperfect people. But we have a Savior, our Heavely Father already prepared a way for us to grow sufficiently to live with him again, but it's only effective to the degree that we excersize (don't remember how to spell that word) our faith.
The other week I mentioned Ephesians in the Bible!! READ IT!! The whole book is only 6-7 pages but it's so good, all about how the people need to be better and develop! Then chapter 2:20 and chapter 4:11-14 talk about the importance of the organization of the church to help us in our development. The chances we have to serve help us grow!!! I love the gospel, I want to be so much better!!! But yes, it is hard. I don't think growing is ever easy, but its so important to our eternal progression!!! :)
I love you all, I want to be an eternal family! And I want it to be a BIG FAMILY!! Lots of chances to serve and help each other!! I love you
Eu amo vocês!!!!
