Happy new year!



Wow. I was thinking about I would write about this week, and I totally forgot that Christmas was this week! It goes so fast!

Christmas was AWESOME! We ate dinner with members Christmas Eve which was so fun! Christmas day we opened our presents in the morning and had a Christmas party at the church with some of the members who are alone this Christmas. It was a blast! We ate and played card games and most everybody stayed until it was dark out!  And I got to talk to my family! Definitely a highlight. I have not talked to my siblings in what feels like months. We sang together, and though the phone connection wasn't great, I felt so close in that moment to them (to you!) It was a special moment for me. That night we ate dinner with another member! Her daughter is preparing to go on her mission to Madrid, so we got to give her some advice on what to pack and what to expect. It was fun! 

The rest of the week was normal. Because of the holidays we didn't have many appointments so we knocked a lot of doors and passed by a lot of less actives! We met some cool people and we revamped our English classes and invited a ton of people. We are hoping to get those up and running and have a better turnout! Other than that the week was super normal! Ok, this email is lame and short, sorry. I'll try to make something exciting happen this week that I can share with you all! 


Tchau tchau for now!

Whoa! So I realized I didn't share my testimony at all! And that just will not do. I want you all to know that I know Christ lives. He came into the world humbly, as an infant like all of us, but he was born with a great purpose and grew to be our Savior! He is my Savior! I love Him and I feel Him walking alongside me and frequently carrying me every day. I love you all and I hope you have a good new year and make some good resolutions!

Bye for real this time!

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...
