What's Up Everybody? (Week 18)

Another fantastic semana (week); was a great week full of learning (ehh... that's every week!)

We found so many cool and prepared people this week!

Some random news!

This area is way cool! We have a neighbor that has a weight set so we wake up every morning to get swole! Oh, Elder Aristimunho and I went running this morning too--gonna feel it tomorrow!

Also, got bit by a fire ant! You all know that's my weakness, but it wasn't a problem at all--just was really swollen...

I will be singing a duet with another Sister Missionary for the Mission Tour. This is one time each year when the whole mission is together. President Bassett will be attending too. He's the second counselor in the Area Presidency. I met him on the flight to Brazil. So yeah, I've been working on my vocals. We'll be singing "One by One." I think it's by David A. Bednar, an Apostle of the church.

I think the most important thing a missionary needs to have, is the trust of the Lord. Can the Lord trust you to follow the promptings of the spirit? Can He trust you with His children? Can He trust that you can talk to the people He puts in your path? As missionaries, we need to completely forget ourselves and just love the people here. Don't think about the numbers, just think of the people and what they need, and the numbers will be a consequence of your love.

SO, can the Lord trust you with this work?

Always learning out here on the mission!!

Love you all. Have a fantastic week, all the people here already have their Christmas decorations up. It's not even December!! (Will need to build a Christmas tree).
