Aug 4, 2014- Brazil

It´s been a year!

Can you even believe it? 1 year. 1 year away from my home teaching about Christ.
I have learned so much! Learned a ton for my future family, a lot of things i want to continue doing for forever. Like personal study everyday. Companion study/inventory when i find my companion after the mission. Spiritual thoughts during meal times ;) haha. I have really learned what faults i have haha and that i can improve.
Man. This week was kind of overwhelming in 1 way. Almost everything that i heard, i understood! Hahaha happy that i can understand, but now it´s that they can understand me:P We almost reached the Standard of Excellence this week.. so close. But, we did EVERYTHING we could have. So, we will accomplish it another week:) one of these weeks..
Just kidding this is the last week of the transfer, and i think i´ll be transfered. But i think i´m ready to be transferred. I will for sure miss Cachoeira and the investigators and my missionary roommates haha.
This week one of our recent converts, Patrick came out with us for a mutual activity. It was SO COOL THAT I WANTED TO CRY, hearing him bare his testimony to these people! :´´´) haha. man.
An investigator named William. Not sure if i´ve already written about him. He has had a pretty crazy life.. in probably every way. He wants to change SO BAD. His mom said that when he first started meeting with us, he had drugs in his house, but after our lesson, he threw it all out! A testimony of the Spirit.. He also told us that he has been receiving answers! (that means he has actually been praying! haha) He is just progressing so much. It´s really awesome to see.
Então, eu sei realmente que este é a igreja de Cristo, que nos podemos voltar a presença Dele. Sou muito grata por o conforto em minha vida por causa o conhecimento que eu tenho. Tenho um testemunho sobre o Livro de Mórmon, você precisa ler este livro. Realmente é um mapa por nossas vidas.
Desculpe por causa eu não posso enviar fotos esta semana. Computers hate me! :)
Have a great week! Get ready to start school and have fun:)

Love you!! Sister Holden
