yo momma! i know 6 months feels pretty crazy! holy moly. it honestly went fast for 6 months i think. and the next 6 will only go faster so thats pretty crazy. ill burn a tie tomorrow cause i think tomorrow is 6 months technically. but idk if i should kinda title my big email 6 months this week or next week?? cause i wont have my tie burning vid until next week.
thank you for your love and prayers and thoughts mom. im doing ok. still kinda just on the recovery process from all this. but its getting better for sure. i know that the only place i will find true happiness is just getting lost in this work. I think im doing a pretty good job with that right now. and im getting better every week so im hoping by the end of this transfer i will have made big steps with moving on and getting to a new level of missionary work. itll be sad especially if sally gets married but its just gonna be something i have no control over and wont do anything to complain. i just want that she makes the best decision for her. because if she prays and thinks about it and knows its the best thing for her, then i know its the best thing for me too. and i know that there is someone else waiting for me. but its all good. i still have to respond to her today but im honestly ready just to not talk to her anymore on pdays so next week will be better with that.
ill get pics to you! sorry our chapel isnt even in our area and we share it with another ward. and the chapel was robbed three times recently so we dont even have a key so i cant send pics right now. but ill send some to you in this email. the area is good honestly its a good change i think! definitely just a slower city but its all good. i think we should still baptize well here. we are w
orking with 3 good people right now. Ari who is an older man who we have set for this sunday but we will have to see. he still needs to stop smoking and may have a problem with law of chastity. we will talk with him tonight and probably know if it will work out. the other is a 15 year old girl ketelyn. she is awesome! she has such a strong interest and was at church this week and really liked it. im hoping she will want to return and we can baptize her in a couple weeks. she also has lots of family and ithink she can really be an anchor that helps the rest of her family get interested too. and the last is a man named allan. he is a friend of a recent convert and has been at a ton of activities lately and is taking interest. its a little slower with him cause we need to work throught that member, but i think we will try to mark a baptismal date this week. Other than that im excited for another week of lots of finding and continuing in the work! i honestly love the work mom. sometimes its hard, but i come home happy and grateful every night to be here and to be doing what im doing. Senior is going well. sometimes its weird cause he still talks more than me in lessons. but i think it would be that way with any brazilian and american. he just has a really good vocabulary so i dont mind him talking cause hes good. but i do motivate him with the whole obedience thing. And its kinda cool getting to make decisions and stuff. language is going super well. he helps a tonnnnnnn. hes awesome with that. im still not where i want to be but its 6 months and i would definitely say im fluent. yeah if we wanna talk about a medical procedure im probably not the best, but every day talk i feel pretty fluent.
that is awesome i will have a new cousin!! even tho i feel like an uncle more now haha. thats awesome about syd. when is she getting married? Where at? will the whole fam go?? i cant believe its already coming! and what song is sam singing? do you know now?
haha its so freaking hot here. i feel like here in sorocaba we never get like break days where it cools down. 30 minutes after leaving the house i have sweat dripping down my face but also dripping down my chest and abs. its a feeling ive never felt before and i honestly hate it haha. it sucks so im ready for winter lol.
yeahhhh im excited for the package! that will be awesome. should get it on the 15th i believe so still a little bit but whatever. it
just takes longer here in the interior. but i did send all yalls cards this week!! i just sent sam in the same one with you guys.
love you mom!
