HELLO!
Well,
transfers are today...but the good news is that I´m staying here in
Fazenda with Sister Libanio!!! WOOHOO I didn´t think I would leave,
since I´m training, but I had my fears... I really LOVE my area right
now. It´s the best area in the mission. Everyone says that. EVERYONE.
But let´s see, I don´t have a whole ton to write this week..
Fun things that happened.. I made an apple pie!!!! Ah, it was delicious, and made me miss Thanksgiving haha.
Oh,
Happy Carnival to you all! Carnival was last weekend, and I completely
forgot to say that to yall last week! Unfortunately, or fortunately,
Carnival is more of a "thing" in the northern parts of Brasil, so
nothing exciting happened here in Paraná. But that´s probably for the
better!
So
there´s this drink called "Cevada" here in Brasil. I had never heard of
it before. Basically it´s like coffee, but not coffee. Anyways this
last week I tried a sip, and it was AWFUL. So for all of you who drink
coffee, HOW????
Also
this new Cross Fit place opened up near our house, and I was really
excited for about 3 days until I learned that it was 193Reis, which is
like almost $60, per month, and then I got really sad because I don´t
have that kind of money as a missionary 😞 It would have been SO COOL
to do cross fit every morning.. but ah well.
I think that´s about all that happened this week...
Sister
Libanio and I are working HARD, and we have some pretty good
investigators! We´re stoked to stick together one more transfer 😊
This
week in my District Meeting, our Zone Leaders gave the training. Elder
Fuzaro chose to speak about the Atonement of Christ. (Or the suffering
that Christ went through in the Garden of Gethsemane, up until the
cross, and on the cross). He said something that completely made me
think.
"We offend God every single day with things that we don´t even realize are offensive."
Okay,
when he said that it took almost everything in me to not just start
bursting into tears. I thought about how much I love my Heavenly Father,
and HOW much I want to make Him proud of me. The thought that I
everysingle day do things to offend him, just made me so sad. And then I
thought about how grateful I am for the Atonement of Christ. I thought
about how because of Jesus Christ, I can repent every single day of the
"offensive" things that I do.
I
know that God is our loving Heavenly Father. I know that Jesus Christ
is our Savior. Through Jesus Christ we can one day return and live with
our Heavenly Father. It´s ONLY because of Christ. There´s no other
way. Literally no other way. And I am so thankful for Him.
This week think a little bit more about how Christ is your Savior, and I promise that this week will be one of your best,
