15 Minutes! - Arrival In First Area - Sobradinho

I thought the CTM was bad for time? I only have 15 minutes right now. It has been an insane week and I can only do a group email;  so I am sorry to everyone whose emails I won’t be able to look at yet. So last week at the CTM, super sad. It was really hard to leave everyone and there was a lot of drama the last day (one of our elders attacked another one of our elders) but that's a long story that i'll tell later.


I met two people in the CTM this week: Jackson Olsen from Missoula who apparently is best friends with the Burnham's cousin, AND we played viola together at Allstate my senior year which we didn't know until I played violin for everyone at devotional- so that was fun. That also taught me I still have tendinitis. AND I met Elder Wadman, the Cassan's grandson!


Today was kinda stressful, woke up at 4 am and said goodbye to Sister Dahneke and then left and flew into Brasília where we hung out at the mission home for a bit just figuring things out. For like 5 hours. My companion is sister Olivera and she doesn't speak a word of english; so this should be a party. She says I speak better than others straight out of the CTM, but I have a weird accent, different than Americans. Not sure if that is good or bad, but we will see. My area is Sobradinho, or something close to that... I don't even know, it's been a long day haha. I got a note from the Americana before me telling me this HUGE list of food she can't eat, and that she is the best companion, even if she doesn't act like it sometimes  sooooo we shall see what's up with that! The town is cute, and Brasília is pretty sick, not gonna lie. Also, one of the Elders (i think the AP) told me Sister Olsen says HIIII so that was the best thing EVER to hear!


And the computer I'm at doesn't have sd capabilities and I forgot my cord,   So no photos today. triste, desculpe...


love you guys
Sister Cecil
