Hello!
It's amazing how fast time goes here. I am emailing today with 2 other elders from my district. They came to Salta de Pirapora because Elder Lew and I are going to sing at our Zone Conference this Saturday and we needed to practice. We're singing Dream Big and he will play piano and I will play guitar. It will be really fun.
This past week was really good. Serving a mission is so much bigger and grander than I am. I am so grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord and bearing me up. Tuesday morning I got to listen to the EFY CD that Emma sent me. I was so excited to listen to the new songs and feel a little boost of Spiritual energy. The song “Walking in Sunlight” came on and it is my new theme song. I love it. It lifted me in a way that was a gift from our Father. That day it just poured down rain, and we were sharing an umbrella but it was kind of squished so I just walked in the rain and there was an uncontrollably large smile on my face. I was singing the first line of that song over and over "It's a beautiful day, even though it's dark out there". I have listened to that song so many times and every single time it brightens my day. Thank you so much Emma for sending that to me.
This week was pretty normal over all. We're still adjusting to the new transfer, but I feel confident. I study every morning and am reassured by the promises of our Lord in the scriptures to take care of us when we trust in Him. I wanted to share a little story about Sunday night. I was lying in bed and I woke up to what sounded like a bomb. It was a HUGE explosion and it sounded like it was really close. About 2 seconds later I heard what sounded like ashes falling on our rooftop. I got up and realized that it was rain and thunder and lightening. The lightening was every few seconds. It was raining so hard that I really thought it was going to flood, so I had my head lamp in my hands as I was laying there, in case of an emergency. It was kind of funny the next morning, but I was ready if something happened! It's been raining so much but I really do love it. It reminds me of home.
My companion gave me some pictures that he had on his camera so I have a little bit more to talk about.
So this one with me holding the rooster is at an investigators house, Luiz Carlos. He will be baptized when he marks a date to be married and I am holding his rooster Michael Jackson.
This picture with the field in the background, was at an American Football game that we watched a few minutes. It was the first time in his life that my companion had seen Football and it was so so funny to hear all of the Brazilians watching- ohh and ahh and be so confused.
This last one with 3d glasses was because Sueli, the grandma of Samira wanted me to take a picture with them. Okay!
