Sept 29, 2015 - Pelotas

Surprises in the fridge.......

 

 are tubs of chocolate! HA! Made my night last night ;) 

This week was a little tougher, just getting to know my new companion, Sister Santos, and praying that she has patience with me and getting us lost. hahaha. All the streets in this area look the same! :P I´m still learning... haha. 

One thing SUPER exciting that happened this week. We had a lesson with Túlio and Rodrigo, and i saw a violin on their table, so natually i asked who plays, and Túlio started playing, oh my goodness, the violin is SO beautiful! Then, we sang a few hymns, Rodrigo palying guitar, it was super cool haha. Then Túlio handed me the violin and let taught me how to hold it and play the hymn "How Great Thou Art" haha it didnt super sound like the hymn, but man it was cool. He said i have lots of potencial to play the violin ;) I will learn when i go home! Ahhhh would be so cool:) 

This week we also had a lesson with Fabio, he is super cool. (We had given him the Restoration pamphlet a couple weeks ago, but never could get anyone to go with us.) He had read it, prayed about it, and had questions. I was so happy! hahaha. He asked about Joseph Smith and how he was a prophet. Then he asked about the Holy Ghost, what is the Holy Ghost? It was so awesome to hear his sincere questions, aawww it was awesome. Experiences like this, make everything worth it, when people have questions that really matter to them, you know? There´s a difference between these questions, and questions trying to prove us wrong haha. 

This next week we are focusing on finding new people to teach, people that are prepared, and ready, and waiting. :) Know anyone?;) 

I am grateful to be a missionary, to feel like Christ would feel teaching these people. To really feel love for them, and want to help them understand. 

I am SUPER excited for General Conference!! Aahhh vai ser muito bom. Tell me what you learn!
