Ducks:
i hate them. I have lots of fear of them haha. And this week, was my
pleasure to help 2 little 7 year old girls laugh. :P i couldnt walk
passed some GINORMOUS ducks, and they were making fun of me! hahah.
5 Months: i hit 13 months on the mission yesterday.. 5 Left. D: wow. It´s gonna fly by.
Independence
of Brasil: Also yesterday! (the Day of the Gaucho is day 20 of
Setembro, just you wait ;) i´m excited to see what the people do!)
This
week we had a cool training about the scriptures. How we really need to
use them more in our lessons( something i for sure need to work on, so
it was cool to get a pep talk haha) and they gave us cards that have
scriptuers to go with every section of every lesson! HOW NICE, I KNOW!:)
So excited to use it! haha because the scriptures are super important.
Words of prophets. :) How lucky are we!
Also found a funny
old lady yesterday.. We greeted her with "Tudo Bem?" And she said "bem
mal tambem é bem" ahah how can i translate.. (she is super sick) super
sick is also super.. that doesnt make a lot of sense. Who else can speak
Portuguese and translate for me? haha.. She is so funny, when she
noticed i have an accent, she started speaking in English!:) pretty good
english, i might add. She said "I love Jesus, He´s not American....
He´s Brasilian!" i died.. haha. Lea is her name, but not just Lea, Lea
Maria. ;)
This week we visited a less active member. I
asked her if she knew the Book of Mormon was true, and she said she
believes it isn´t. So we talked about what kind of answer she thinks she
should have gotten or was waiting for.. Eventually we got to the point
where she was bashing us.. haha. And Sister Carvalho just testified.
Man, it was so strong. The Spirit was SO strong. So i asked her, how she
felt as Sister Carvalho spoke. And she didn´t feel it:( She has
hardened her heart to the point, i felt so sad. I could feel the love
that Heavenly Father has for her, i wanted to help her so bad! But
obviously, we all have the gift of the right to choose. What i want to
apply from that experience, is to never allow myself to get to the point
where i can´t feel the Spirit. I always want to be able to have Him
with me.
Made me think of things that i want to do after
my mission... One thing Sister Carvalho said, we were talking about a
type of music here, called Funk, it´s yucky. Everything about it. I
think a tv was playing in a bakery one day and had a song that was kind
of catchy, obviously, didnt pay that much attention, but i asked Sister
Carvalho if it was a bad song, she wasnt paying attention to it either
ha, but she said it was that type of music, Funky. She said it didnt
sound like it was saying anything bad, but why waste your time trying to
firgure out if 1 of 10 bad things is good? I hope that makes sense.. So
i set new goals. Like for real walking out of movies, not waiting for
the bad part to be over because the rest of the movie is good, get it?
Maybe i´m just crazy:) Maybe it just makes sense to me haha.
That´s my super long schpeel for the week... Love you all:) <3 Have a good week!
