From Brazil, With Love

Ohhh man, this week was great. It was super long, but great, let me just start off by saying that I am BEYOND excited that dad got the Job in Oregon!!

WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!

I think I put in about 1,000,000 exclamation points in the email I sent back to him. haha.

Love ya, Dad!!

The second biggest news is that Last night I probably got THE BIGGEST Charlie Horse in MY LIFEEE!!!!

Right in my Calf...Or Batata (potato) as they call it here. I was screaming/almost crying in pain....

And, because I am a missionary, I thought of Alma the Younger during this very "Wrack of Pain" and thought, "Hmm....Alma the Younger was Wracked with pain/torment for three days until he finally prayed and was released from his burden.." and then I thought...."I don´t want this pain to last for 3 days...." So I said a little prayer and BAM. pain gone.

It´s weird how prayer works like that....

It´s always the LITTLE things that get me...like...When I pray at night I ALWAYS pray that I can have a good nights rest and good dreams....and I do..as silly as it seems...but when I forget...I am up, tossing and turning ALL night long...

Needless to say, I don´t forget very often for a good nights rest and good dreams. hahah...

also. Remember last summer...a year and a half ago, when I was in my first area in the USA and I was complaining about the Mosquitoes? WELLLLLLLLLL....here in Brazil..they´re like 15x worse....probably because there´s MORE than JUST mosquitoes that bite....it´s brutal..I feel like I have chicken pox sometimes...and the first few days it was super hard to sleep and not rip my leggs to shreds...so I thought....

"Hmm....If i can pray for and RECIEVE a good nights rest and good dreams....i can probably pray for and RECIEVE a good nights rest without having mighty wishes to amputate both of my legs."

sooooo I did it..annnddd it worked.....andddd

God loves me!

haha.

anyway last monday was the ONLY regular Pday I had here in Caçador this transfer...weird stuff. But, it was awesome.

Tuesday and Wednesday I had Divisions with Sister Hallenberger and Sister Rosa...they´re aweosme.

Thursday had District Meeting in Videra and then the rest of the week sort of flew by...but at the same time it was SUPER LONG. but it´s ook. It was a good week. :)

Anddd ...PICTURES!

You´re gonna have to turn your head for these..I can´t figure out how to turn them on the computer....my technology skills are lackin lately..haha
