Warm in Winter

Hello Friends and Fam..

This past week was WARM!!!! miracle! Thanks for all of the prayers.. Really appreciated them. It is raining today, but it is still warmer than before, so BONUS! it was great. This week was pretty good. Marked a couple baptisms but it was raining on Sunday so the people didn't go to church. Always some kind of an excuse.. Then again, here people don't have cars and for some the church is about an hour walk away, so we understand, but still.. it's somewhat of a pain. This week I also had the opportunity to give a talk! Last Sunday when I was asked I just stared at the guy and said, "What? You want me to give a talk? In Português? For ten minutes?!" He jokingly said, "No sister, you can talk in English. Of course Português!" So, it took a while to write out.. thinking in English and writing in Português, but it went really well! A full ten minutes and everyone understood everything and really liked it!! YES! Huzzah! Other than that, we are still walking a lot..

Letters I got:
Blanks-- You rock my world! Stickers and the awesome card? LOVE. Stickers here are like gold, so thank you. Appreciated it!
Elin- Thanks for all the letters too. I will do my best to get some thoughts down on paper for you.
Elizabeth- Thank you for the update! I am glad that she is doing well! Brooke will be in my prayers. Loves and hope you're doing well!
Annie-Glad that cat is keeping you safe. Dust is scary!
Lunds- That package was amazing! Starbursts and tootsie pops? I love them! American candy for the huge win!
Parents-That last package with the junior mints was great too.. they just kind of melted together...haha

My new mission president has us write him each week as well so I don't have as much time to write, but I like him a lot. Has really good direction and is helping me a lot too.

Requests: big Bag of m&ms. No need to send more rootbeer candies! Love them but have a lot. I will be able to get packages and letters again in three weeks! (maybe sooner). Thanks for everything!

Loves
Sister Reising
