Back in Barreiro


I knew it was going to be weird going back to my old area, but man, this is TRIPPY! But I love it so much! This week has been one of the best on my mission! They took the elders completely out of Barreiro and put us in so we are basically starting from scratch while also continuing the work that they did. 
Anyway, Tra sfers happen and we head out for Barreiro, two sisters, 6 giant suitcases. That was crazy. There were many angels in our path who helped us with our bags getting off and on metros and boats and walking up big hills. Finally we made it to our house and up the four flights of stairs and were home! Then the real work begun! We worked our tails of this week and we just kept finding friend after friend, old friends from when I was here before, and new friends to teach as well! It's been awesome! Anyone remember Celina? The less active we visited when I was last here? Well she has returned to full activity (she taught the lesson in relief society!) and she said the sweetest thing this week, I told her I was happy she had chosen to come back, and she told me it was because of me. I know it was God, not me, but it was just so wonderful to feel that there was some good that I was able to do, that I was able to help someone I love so much. That was cool. There were many other cool experiences, but I procrastinated too long and now have only three minutes of pday left! I love you all and I know this gospel is true! What a miracle it is to me!

I don't have a lot of time today, we had an awesome pday! So this email might be a bit shorter! Sorry!   Tuesday - we had district counsil of course and then we did our studies. We had an appointment but she canceled so we decided to finish up the last session of general conference! It was so so so good! I loved President Nelson's talk! I now have a goal to memorise the full version of the first vision. I have the missionary part done, just need to do the rest! Then we spent the rest of the day finding. It was one of those days where you knock a ton of doors and they aren't there or don't want anything and you contact people and they ignore you. But we did our part!   Wednesday - We did Divisions in Gaia! We went over there and we got off at the wrong metro stop without knowing and they "weren't there yet" so we bought some cool jewelry from one of those pop up places in tourist spots and took some pics, then they called us and asked wher...

Blitz it

Sorry I didn't send an email last week! We had a crazy pday! We were up early and went to a beautiful place called sete cidades with the sister APs (they flew in Sunday night) then later we got ice cream with President (who flew in on Monday) and that was the end of pday! That night we had 8 sisters in our area! Mega blitz! I went on a division with one of our stls Sister Prado. She is from Ecuador and has the cutest accent when she speaks português! We go home together so it was fun to serve with her for a little bit. The next day we had conference for the island missionaries! I was glad it was separate because the island is truly different than any of the other areas I served in on the continent. After conference I got to go on a division with one of our sister APs Sister Nilson! I love her! She reminds me of Lizzie a lot. Really fun, hard working, faithful, sporty, and beautiful. We did good work together. Then on Wednesday I went out with the other sister AP Sister Ho...

The final countdown

Starting an email is the hardest part, and no matter how many I have written, they never get any easier. So I guess I'll just jump right in!   Last Monday we had a fun chill pday. We took a bus over to Ribeira grande and ate pizza and went to the beach with the elders. The waves were ENORMOUS! I had dreams about tsunamis that night. Lol.   Tuesday we had the last district counsel of the transfer. We knew elder Miranda was leaving the island after his 4 transfers, so we had a big breakfast all together with French toast bread pudding, juice, and cornbread. Kinda a weird breakfast, but it was yummy! We have had a good time together, and we will miss Elder Miranda, our fearless leader. But Élder Pullan will take his place as our fearless leader this transfer so all is well. And Elder Miranda is off to fearlessly lead a zone. So proud of them!   Later this week we went to visit a less active family and it turns out that the Carters had visited only an ho...
