Ola Meu Familia!

Ola Meu Familia!   My nice thing about Ronnie: Remember when we were younger and we played with fisher price and polly pockets and we would die laughing over a silly joke we made? You have such a light inside you Ronnie! Let it shine! You have humor and creativity and imagination, and you have a determination. You can use those skills to be the person you want to be. You are an incredible young man, and you have such an ability to feel the spirit! Never forget that God and Jesus are always on your side! And when ever you feel down or upset, SMILE! Doing that always makes me feel better, because when you can be a light in someone elses life, light will come into your own life. I love you Ronnie and am so so so proud of you! I pray for you and think of you everyday. As I hang out with the awesome Elders in my district I can just imagine you being one of them, laughing as you shoot a basketball, studying hard, and flourishing in the spirit that is thick enough to cut ...

Swimming in the Spirit!

October 22, 2018 Swimming in the Spirit! Hey Dad!!   I miss you and you are frequently in my mind, always in my heart, and never are not in my prayers. I have only been gone for two weeks and I still feel like I am missing so much! Tell Ronnie happy birthday for me and give him a long lingering hug that will make him both gently push you away and smile, from me! He would make an incredible missionary with his intense passion for whatever he puts his mind to. I miss Lizzie like crazy! I just want her to know how special and important she is! Tell her that for me! I am working on the Prophets invitation too, but I am probably way behind! Even though we are all swimming in the spirit we don't get as much time as one would think to just read! Only a half hour a day! It is my favorite half hour though. I love the Book of Mormon! I will be honest and say that my testimony of the Book of Mormon before now has been passing at best, but how could it not be true! I have ...

Hello!

Monday, October 15, 2018 Hello! Ola meu familia! Lizzie looks so cute and grown up, and Ronnie and Aubrey look awesome!! I send hugs from the MTC! Sorry about the phone-call! I sent the "I'm here message, but then realized I wasn't sure if there was an 8 or not in your email, and I really wanted you to get my emails!        The MTC is a place of Miracles! I have so much I want to tell you about, and not near enough time to do it, so I will do my best! To start off, I have had absolutely zero problem waking up in the mornings at 6 because my companion likes to be early everywhere! If that is not a miracle I don't know what is. Meu colega (my companion) is so incredible! I have never loved someone so instantly as I did Sister Moulton. We were best friends immediately and we work super well together! She makes sure we get everywhere 15 minutes early and I make sure we pronounce Portuguese as right as possible! In all seriousness though, I truly believe sh...
