You can send me whatever chacos you want to I don't care. Just anything and whenever. Also, I LOVE the scripture tabs from Amber, if possible could you send me the regular and the large, I am going to run out soon and they make me just love scripture study. There are two other girls in our district and we are also rooming with them; Sister Sterling and Sister Dahneke. They are going to Curutiba Sul and Belem so I wont see them, but I love them. I love my companion now too, just took some praying and figuring out how to be around her but she is great and doing really well. SEND more pics of Ivie and Winston, I love them.
A typical day at the CTM-
Wake up at 630 and go to personal study at 715 in the classroom with distrito for an hour
815 breakfast, usually oatmeal and fruit and panini sandwiches
900 class until lunch at 12, we learn grammar, gospel prinicples and teach fake investigators
lunch
class until dinner at 430
usually personal study or language study by ourselves aka distrito goof off and chatting time because we never actually work lol
650 is usually atividade fisica so that's nice and fun and then we go back, shower, go back to the class and study more by ourselves and then go to our bedrooms and read scriptures and stuff
P'day is 5 am wake up and then go to temple at 6, then get back around 1 and shop or do whatever you want until choir practice at 6, then devotional then bed
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MR CHENEYS IT MADE MY DAY THE COOKIES ARE AMAZING I DIED I WAS SO HAPPY AND I SHARED IT ALL. if you got the photo they sent you, you can send it to everyone, and me. I wanna see it.
Can you put my email at the end of the group email because then people can have it?
Also, I am the only girl here going to Brasilia...and there are only 2 other elders so that's kinda weird... but oh well.
Also if anyone is gonna be set apart soon, they should pay attention. I didn't really cause my mind was distracted but I WISH I had. I love being a missionary, I love having a name tag. I know it will be hard at times, but somedays I just never want to take off the tag. A lot of us wish that we were in English speaking missions SOOO badly because we just want to go out and preach because we know so much...just a little problem called portuguese, haha. I had to do the veil in portuguese last week at the temple and that was an experience...A little rough but I got through.
OH!! we had splits this week. Minha companhiera spoke NO english so that was rough....but we managed. I finally was able to talk to her our 3rd day. Good practice because we proselyte for reals in Sao Paulo this week...Woohoo! We finally get out of the CTM! It's freezing all the time and it rained for the first time last night which was super cool. Some of the boys claim they've seen this UFO outside a couple times and its actually wild cause we have heard that from multiple people. Speaking of, we got two more elders in our distrito which makes 12 of us total. and FINALLY one is going to Brasilia so yay!! I just met them an hour ago, they came from provo. Our distrito is wild, in we have such great and chill people, we never do the work. We just have so much fun and idk how but we are still learning portuguese. OOHH and our irmao was telling us about the goliath spiders he saw on his mission....in Brasilia....that eat birds...soo yay. I don't hate cockroaches so much anymore
Love you all, love Brazil!

Oh yeah, uhm the language was super rough until about Sunday. IDK what happened but I kinda just broke through some barrier and now I can speak and listen and understand pretty much all. I'm sure the Lord will humble me soon about that - so I will enjoy it while it lasts.
