Hello friends!
This week I got another batch of letters (packages are still in Floripa), but I should be getting those this week.. I got letters from:
Ludwigs--Thank you for your thoughts. I really appreciated them!
Blanks-- Your sticker packages make my and the other Sisters here SO HAPPY!! Glad to hear that things are going well!
Ginny--Really appreciated your point of view. I agree. Thank you Ginny! (I'm the cat...)
Karren-- Got the Primary package.. working on that..
Natalie-- Hawaii?! Jealous.
(These are the ones I remember.. there maybe were more..)
Happy Birthday week mom! This week we got to know our area a little better.. Sister Mendes is from Fortaleza, she joined the church 9 years ago and she is a fire cracker of entertainment. I have taught her a lot of English-- things that are of the utmost importance (words like boring, awkward, nevermind, random, creeper). There aren't Português substitutes for these.. so I had to help her out a bit.. haha We also enjoy singing "Singin in the Rain" when it is raining outside AND I taught her the hop/skip thing from the Wizard of Oz. The weather here is random. For a few days it is freezing cold and raining, and then a really hot stream comes through. I think it will continue to be ADD like this for a while. The only problem arises when it looks like it will rain and we dress all wintery and when we get to the neighborhood we are working (40 mins away by bus), it decides to be hot.. I had to buy and use flipflops the other day because the boots and the sweater I had were killing me in the intense heat... The umbrella that I had though I still used (just to block the sun). Right now we don't have a ton of new people that we are teaching.. mostly just reactivating members. Sundays are always a huge gamble, waiting at the doors and hoping that all the people you invited will show up to church. It's always great when they do come!!
There are many ups and downs here on the mission, but one thing I have learned is to just keep smiling. :D Hope all is well back home.
