Yup, I literally am in heaven here yall. Paranaguá is HEAVEN. Paranaguá é CEU.
Let
me just tell you how I met our Bishop here. We arrived in Paranaguá
via bus, and when we got off, he came up to us and said, "Hi Sisters!
I´m the Bishop! I´m here to help you! Let me take your bags! Are you
guys hungry?? You all will be my daughters!" (It´s better in
Portuguese, sorry I had to translate lol) BUT YEAH. That night he
brought us sandwiches, and then the next morning he brought us hot
bread. YUP. Heaven yall.
I
don´t know if I mentioned last week, but both my companion and I are
new here.. so we don´t know how to walk around our area etc! BUT wait.
The members here are AWESOME and one of the young men/recent converts
led us around each day showing us where our investigators live, who is a
less active, who is a member etc.
YUP. It´s heaven here!!!
AND
GUESS WHAT!!! MY COMPANION IS SISTER COUTINHO. She´s Brasilian. We
shared a room in the MTC! And guess what?! She lived in Provo for a
year and a half before the mission to learn Portuguese! WOOP! I love
her!!! So for my entire mission I have been literally praying for a
companion who likes to run and eat healthy like I do. AND GUESS WHAT!
Sister Coutinho does!
Guys.
For the first week since my mission has started, I have been able to
run 4 times!!! It was MARVELOUS. I am so happy. SO happy!!!!!! All of
you have already served a mission know how stinking great it is to have
a companion who likes the same things as you. Literally heaven ❤
And
we are already starting to get to know our area and our investigators
as well! We found a woman, Mayda, this week who came to church with us
and I´ll keep yall posted on her progression!
But
basically, Sister Councill is super happy and pleased with life. I
just want to testify to you all that I know God loves us. I know He
worries about us, about our plans, about our desires etc. I know HE has
the PERFECT plan for each of us. I have felt that this week. He gives
us hard times, and He blesses us with good times. And, all of it is for
our well-being :)
Trust in God, because He knows YOU, and knows what is best for you,
xo Sister Councill
I don´t have a ton of pics, but here they are!

Last hug with Sister C. Silva 😖 She´s now home!
my new companion! Sister Coutinho
My AREA! There´s mountains in the distance, palm trees.. heaven..
A chocolate easter egg! It´s tradition here to buy these for Easter! And I bought one after, because it would be cheaper ✌
