It´s already been a week? Wow, time flies. Missionary
life is good. I still don´t understand most of what people say, and it
doesn't help that they speak muito rapido. But as I read the scriptures
and Preach My Gospel, I am understanding more than last week, which is a
good sign! One of our investigators we taught said that my Portuguese
was better this week than last! woohoo! One day it will all come
together.
Nothing superly spectacular happened this week. We
just walked and studied and taught and walked some more. We had a
companionship swap for 24 hours since Sister Oliveira is a sister
training leader and that was great! Don´t get me wrong, Sister Oliveira
is a fantastic companion, but it was cool to see another part of the
mission!
I think I already mentioned this and if I did, I´m
sorry, but the people here are awesome! Every time we teach, and I am
lost for a word or am reading a scripture and having a hard time with pronunciation (which happens 24/7), someone jumps in and helps me! It´s
great! I need all the help I can get!
Okay, so most people
here haven´t ever seen snow before since its so wonderfully hot and not
rainy here....so the other day, Sister Oliveira and a member were asking
me all things snow related. They asked if we built snowmen or make
snow angels or had snowball fights to which I enthusiastically responded that of course we do! They laughed and were amazed that what
they saw happened in the movies when it snowed actually happened! lol
This
week my testimony about eternal families really grew. I am so grateful
that I have the opportunity to be with my family forever because I love
them so much! I love my Savior who lived for me. Suffered for me. Died
and was resurrected for me so that I can live in His presence again with
my family!
Nothing else really to report on. I love our
investigators. I love this gospel. And I know that we have a Heavenly
Father who loves us each individually. I love you all so much! Thank you
for all your prayers and support!
Love,
Sister Hilchie :)
