BOM DIA!!!!

I am doing really well. I am super tired. We live tired for right now. The sun is super hot and we are just constantly tired, but we keep going and going and going!! :) We try singing songs in the street to not let a lot of time pass being quiet.

I am learning a lot about myself. For example, I don't function in loud situations. I get stressed and try to make it better then I just get more stressed. I also am learning how much can be avoided by just talking through out the quiet moments. Communication. Also learning to stick up for my self better. I have this mentality that I can just keep being sweet and loving and it will all be better, but no,
sometimes it just doesn't work. So in the small things, sharing my opinion what I think is better, it works. Also the importance of working with someone who has the same goal. Anything is possible with that.

I am making it a point to enjoy the time I have with Sister Pinheiro more than I did the last time around. It takes lots of effort but its fun.

We have met a lot of people that have spiritualistic views. For example, they don't believe in resurrection just reincarnation. Which for many reasons diminishes the need for Christ...which also irritates me. We have been reading and studying about this. I love Alma 41 and 42. If anyone wants a suggestioon of what to read, these
are great chapters! I am learning so much.

Portuguese is also coming along. I am grateful for that. I love Brasil. Even though it is hot. I am grateful I will end while it is winter here. I think I am cured of my sun worshippping phase in life.... :)

I love you all. I know the things I have the privilage to teach here are all true. The Lord teaches us individually. He prepares each person. Everyone has weaknesses and they are all different, but the Lord can work with those that want to change. If we don't want to change, nothing can happen. I am very grateful for my experiences
here and I am excited to share them all with you some day!

Love always.
