To recap, my last week has been marvalous!!!
Monday night was terrible, my comp was annoyed with me ect. whats new? But then we had a zone meeting Tuesday morning and our zone leader talked about following rules and staying in people's houses too long. It was amazing!! I think hearing everyone else say it was really good and I finally felt that we had hope. One hour after the meeting the Mission President called me and said that he was transfering me to a new area!! Cruz Alta!!! And that I would be with Sister Wells for three weeks until the tranfer is up. Then we don't really know what is going to happen. She is an American and has two months in Brazil. She had a little while in Alabama before she received her Visa, we overlapped in the MTC like two weeks so I got to know her a little bit there. She is way cool. I have learned so much with her this week. It's so fun. When the President called me he said that I was being transfered and that he thought I would finally be happy. It was really precious but a little disappointing because it was the first day that I actually felt that I had hope with my other companion.........but now I am here!! In Cruz Alta!!! We have a lot more funny experiences, and I think the lives of people are just more interesting here. We are both new in Brazil and we speak about the same level, but this area is more humble and real feeling. It's a pretty big city but it kind of has a small town, everyone knows everyone, feeling. I really like it. It's a little more dangerous though so we have areas that we can't walk at night:) But not a big deal. It's all good.
I guess that another Sister got transferred too so I am afraid all of the Elders are talking bad about the Sisters now. It's really kind of stupid but some of the Elders are really mean. Like down right mean. I had never understood that before but the one that is really bad just has two weeks left on the mission so we are just waiting it out for him to leave. The streets here are really confusing and it's kind of crazy but we keep the rules and every day we have something to laugh about. I just need to learn how to do that in Portuguese!!! :)
Brazilians are really nice!!! and helpful. I talked on Sunday and I am pretty sure most of it didn't make sense but in my mind it did :) Its funny to see everyone have pity on my new companion because the other sister got trasnfered when I got here. Everyone really liked her so it's kiind of like Oh sorry I am here now :) but its all part of the process. They will get to know me and love me too.
Attached are some pictures of the investigators I left in Camobi, that was really hard to do. The one of the family with a little boy is really special to me. We had 4months together and the last night there the dad finally said a prayer!!!!! I wanted to cry. It was so sweet and simple. The wife is Maira, she has had amazing experiences with the Book of Mormon and she knows its true and wants to be baptised but we are waiting for the dad, Fernando, to be ready too. They are such a special family I am not sure what other picture I attached it might be a less active, Zeni. She is like 70 but has the heart of a 15 year old but with the wisdom of an old person. Really she is great. I'll miss her.
Thanks for the advice this week, but it really was a good week!!! Over analyzing kind of makes my head spin. But thank you all. I love you all so much and thank you for the prayers. The gospel is true and when we live it, it's all possible. Let me know if I can do anything to help anyone there.
I have been thinking about service and how it's a covanant that we have made with Heavenly Father to serve others. Like it's literally a covenant with God. Kind of a big deal........ makes me want to be a better person. Love you all and I have been reading the last general conference Ensign. Way good!!!
Love,
Kat
