Chilly In Brasili(a)

It's been a while since we've been able to email cause our internet cafe is kinda sketchy but we are in Taguatinga emailing so it's better now wohoo!


Anyways, these past 2 weeks have been wild, and real fun. I love my companion! She is the cutest! We got an email that she had an interview scheduled this past week for her England visa so we went to the mission home and slept there for a night and then went to her interview. We are going to send in her documents this week and she should get her visa here in a month! We are both excited. She's super energetic and loving being here. She is a very good example for me. I don't want her to go!


Last week we woke up to slug sized maggots in our apartment. That was fun. 


Winter has hit here in Brasil, and by winter, I mean it has been 60 degrees but that has become cold for me!


This week we were finally able to get investigators to come all the way from Riacho Fundo to Recanto! A whole family! They've been wanting to come for a while, but always something came up. The mom felt the spirit so strong she asked if she could share her testimony. 
Then we saw one of our investigators today and he said he tried to go to church but it didn't work out. He showed us a message his 9 year old daughter had sent to him crying because they weren't able to make it to church, it was so cute. 


I am really loving this ward and their help. We have made a lot of friends, and the bishop has been telling us that he is super grateful for us and was even crying about it. He said they will do whatever to help us. They give references out like candy and it's amazing. Obviously this area is a little rough given the distance but we are super grateful for the ward member's help. 


We had a training this week which was good, so most of these photos are from that. We hung out in the office and took photos in prez's office and everything. So that was fun.
Only 2 more weeks left in this transfer! I have survived 3 weeks so far being gluten and dairy free which has not been the greatest thing in the world, but I am alive and still on the mission and it's slowly but surely getting better! Thank you everyone for the nice thoughts and prayers
Have a Boa Semana!
