Week 9 BAAAAAAAHHHHHHTCHE

Hey Everybody!!!!!! Well this week flew by and seriously nothing happened really, it was so freaking easy.  On Monday, we had P-Day and that was fun as heck and then Tuesday we went to the temple which was so cool cause it was the Porto Alegre Temple and that was an all day thing and we ate at Burger King after. Wednesday we had a transmission of all missionaries around the world and that took like all day and so it was way easy but we did get more sleep baby! Thursday we went to work I think, I can't really remember lol and Friday.  We had splits and I had my very first Snake Encounter!!!!
We went to the freaking super market and the lady asked where I was from and I said United States and she tried to get all up in me asking me all these questions like what the! Freaking ladies everywhere, cant get away from them. Then Saturday we had two baptism interviews and that took all day.
 So this week nothing really crazy, sorry my dearest friends! :(
 I love you all and have a safe freaking wild week. 

Love,

Week 8

Whats up everybody?? Well its my second week in the field and honestly its so much fun! Its freaking whack though lmao. Sometimes i can understand people and their needs and i can talk back pretty good no lie, but mostly other times i have no idea what people are saying and i feel like a lost child. This is how my week went we had so many investagators but we had to drop 12 of them becuase they didnt want our lessons or baptism they really just wanted to look at me. ;) Then we were also supposed to have a baptism this week and i was super stoked becasue i was gonna baptize him but he didnt have his interview or show up to church. :( OKAY people get ready for my interesting parts of this week. I was on splits and some lady asked my companion to marry her and shes like 35 and was saying her dad is cousins with Joesph Smith and crazy shiz like that. Shes crazy. Secondly i look like a freaking DIRTY BEANER!!! (mom dont erase that) This tan is whack lmao. Lastly its freaking normal for ladies to pull their boob out to breastfeed and nothing to cover i feel so uncomfortable everytime is happens and i never leave eye contact. okay people update me on your lives. love you all.

First Area, Vista Alegre

Okay,  well I'm in the field and this is gonna be super short, I don't have much time. I'm in Vista Alegre and my companion is Brazilian and doesn't speak any English. It's super hot and no AC anywhere. I am super confused most of the time and have no idea what most people are saying but  I can catch a few words and get the just of it. Its hard but I'm happy to be here. The houses are super small and people here are super humble so I'm happy to be with them. I love you all.

Love,

E Ai?

Hey everyone. So the same things happen every week. I'll tell you my highlights. So the other day when we teach our lessons, we have other teachers come in sometimes to watch us and like 3 are cool and all the rest stand over you and bug you all the time. Well,  one came in and I was writing my introduction/testimony for the first Sunday in the field because our president said we would need to introduce ourselves. So I'm doing that until I have to go teach and then this lady is like getting all up on me on why I didn't write out my lesson. This is all in Portuguese and then she's like lecturing me on why I have to and made me read something in preach my gospel. Then I'm getting mad and I start arguing back all in Portuguese and my class is watching and some of them are laughing and this goes on for thirty minutes straight until I had to teach. I opened up my preach my gospel and told her I'm preparing myself for the field and had her read a section of relying on the spirit and totally killed her, but she kept telling me I had to write it down. I looked at her and said no and then left and went to go teach my lesson all in Portuguese. Guess what? It was probably my best lesson and the spirit was there way strong and every time I teach I bring my English preach my gospel and that's it, I translate it out for the investigator. It's pretty strange on how I do it, but it works.


New Years wasn't special. We went to bed at 8 cause I didn't care to do anything lol. Got a lot of sleep. I'm still super sick and none of this Brazilian/American medicine has helped. Not much I can do now. I leave for the field on Tuesday then my next P day will be that upcoming Monday. Super stoked and love you all. Have a safe week



Basically 1 week left in spiritual prison

So, this week has been pretty rough, I' m not gonna lie. Ive been sick for about 3 weeks now and nothing has seemed to help and im getting annoyed be people way fast. I almost punched this kid but I didn't,  so go me. So this is what happened this week.  Everyday we do the same thing and everyday I probably say 30-40 prays. This one time me and my companion forgot to pray before our lesson we taught our investagator. It was seriously the worst lesson we have ever had. We were forgetting what to say and what we planned and the spirit wasnt there at all. So don't forget to pray everyday, multiple times if you have to. Heavenly Father cares about you and wants to help you out for real. I love you guys and thanks for everything you're my favorite fans ever!

Love,

PS I know its strange, but im actually mormon since I added my little spiritual thought this week.

Merry Christmas Amigos

Hey friends,

So, its Christmas time and I'm super pumped. Its not too cold outside but wearing sweaters inside to look freaking fly. We went to go hand out Book of Mormons and me and Edler Schade killed it. I started most of the conversations and he finished them. It was way fun and I love it here. The food is good...I've gained 6 pounds. Lmao, what is getting into me. I also have to teach the lesson and I'm super stoked and then choir probably. Ive had some super good strong lessons and a great time here. Almost time to get to the field and im so stoked even though I wont know a single thing. Time is flying. Im just stuntin over here. Got all the Elders and Sisters around me. Well sorry this is a short email I got nothing else to say. Love you all and have a great week and be safe! Keep me updated please.

Week 2: Two Weeks or Two Year?

What's up my fans. So lets see what's been happening. Monday i got a haircut and let me tell ya.... I miss you Tiffany Phelps. That man cut my hair so short but I also found out one of my Brazilian roommates had a barbershop at home so I'm gonna ask him my last week, even though we aren't supposed to cut peoples hair. Also me and Elder Schade usually nap during Physical Activity time and the second day we went we got put in time out for being late the day before. They punished us by not letting us workout because we were late lol; it was so heartbreaking. Then one day I feel asleep during class and got called out by the teacher lol. Then we went to physical activity another day and me and my companion jumped during volleyball and apparently you cant jump and so every time we did we had to do 10 pushups, by the end of that night we did 100 pushups each. The Physical activity teacher is a jerk. We talk back to him and I tried to hit him with the volleyball lol. We came to the conclusion that the Physical Activity teacher is whipped at home so he likes to have all the power here. So I'm in the choir and since so many of you are interested ill tell you about it. We sing in pork and cheese aka Portuguese and yeah that's about it lol. Its super fun and I feel the spirit a lot while I sing so that's why I joined it. Nothing much is happening. The 16 hour days are getting super short I feel like the CTM is okay, making the most out of it and trying hard.Also we got to walk around a lot for Pday and it was way cool! I got kinda nervous lol but it was way fun. Keep me updated people.




Love your favorite Elder,
