i got a pocket, got a pocket full of sunshine...

HELLOOOOOOO! :)

How is everyone doing today?

Okay, this week was SUPER cool. We found so many awesome, prepared people!!

Daniela, she has a young family, and LOVED the message about Joseph Smith, she really understood the need for a Restoration! It was awesome, she accepted the Book of Mormon and said she would read it to her kids before bedtime :´) haha.

Patrícia, she is the girlfriend of a less active. I spent Thanksgiving wiht them ;) haha. But she also is so ready! She has had so many experiences with the church, and so many good examples. She just needs to get married! But she really wants to, so it´ll be really cool to help them with that:)

Sister Santos likes to call me "Turtle face" -_- don´t know why. ha. but it´s really funny. ;)

SOOO Saturday, Elder Moroni Torgan, visited our mission. :) And burned us, haha really bad. He talked to the whole mission about breaking rules and slacking off. He used really sharp words haha. I know that everyone received answers, and guidance from the Spirit. He put a visual in our minds.. "Every time you break a rule, you are helping crucify Jesus Christ." WHOA. Thanks. Then he gave an awesome prayer, demanding satan to leave our apartments, and our lives.. It definitely wasn´t the meeting i was expecting. Haha. But i learned a ton, and i now have new goals:)

Also, yesterday after lunch, we left to go to work.. Litterally down the street from the member, we began talking to people, i felt ONE drop of rain, and the POOF! it was pouring hahahaha. POURING, we didnt have anything to protect us, so we walked back to the members house, just to laugh with them. It really was within like 5 minutes! Poured for 10 and then was gone. Then it got hot and our clothes dried, but i, i like to use make-up... My face was a messssss. hahahaha. But we worked and did contacts and it was a super great day. haha. Funny.

Today is December. The last month of the year!! Can you even believe it went by so fast! "this is the season, beloved of the year.." Christmas, then the new year, new goals, new clothes, and new pages. This is the time to celebrate the birth of our Savior! And share that news with everyone! Glad that i can be a missionary at this time of the year again:) Last year was so special. :)

Love all of you!! Have an awesome week, and show someone you care!
