HOLÀ e FELIZ NATAL para todos de voces!!!!!!!!!!!
HELLO AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALLLLLL ❤
It hardly feels like it should be Christmas, to be honest, because well because Brasil is hot right now XD
BUT
so how about transfers!!! My new area is Fazendo Rio Grande!!!!!!!!!!!
(Big Farm River) It´s about 45 min from Curitiba! And the area is a
LOT less big, so it will be easier to learn the area and yaayayayay.
ALSO get this! We share a house with Sister Manhas and Sister
Albertoni, who I both already know!!! I lived with Sister Manhas in
Guarapuava, and Sister Albertoni was in my district in the MTC!!!! SO basically it´s a party every day ;)
So
last week I wrote about how challenges are good, and how we shouldn´t
run from them. Well, I think the Lord wanted to humble me a little bit
(or a lot). I was going to go to an area to "open it" after some
Elders were switched out, but an hour and a half before my bus left, the
APs (Assistants to the Mission President) called and said I´d be going
to Fazenda.
WHAT.
My
companion would be Sister Ferreira. She has been in the mission for 1
year and 2 months, and Fazenda two different times! She started her
mission here, and now she´s here again!
Not
gonna lie, I was super disappointed when I first heard. I was really
looking forward to a growing experience. BUT Heavenly Father always
always always always knows best and He inspired my mission president at
the last minute, and so here I am, in Fazendo Rio Grande!
And
let me tell yall, I am soooooooooo grateful. Sister Ferreira is
amazing. I swear every single lesson she teaches is 100% guided and
inspired by the Spirit. It´s incredible. From the first lesson we
taught together I know I was here to learn from her. This week has been a
very humbling week for me because I´m realizing HOW MUCH I STILL HAVE
TO LEARN and grow in the mission, in life etc. Missions are great
because you learn so easily how much you still have to grow 🤓
But,
I know Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us- everything that
happens has a purpose- may it be a lesson to learn, an experience to
have, someone to meet etc. But He has the whole picture, and as long as
we´re seeking His guidance, He won´t let us go astray.
So, I´m stoked for this transfer! I´m pretty positive I´ll only have one transfer with Sister Ferreira, but BRING IT ON :)
PICTURES!
Me and my new companion! And then Sister Albertoni ☺
Super cute Minion plant holders things!!!
And
this last picture of that girl from Ratatuii (or however it´s
spelled). We were having a meeting with the Ward Mission Leader and his
4 year old son came up to me and said, "voce com baton" or "You with
liptick." OMG it was sooooo funny!!!! Because I obviously have short
black hair, and then the fact that a 4 year old boy knows about
lipstick. 😂
LOVE YALL LOTS,
