This week was super awesome and super super cold! let me tell you all a little bit about this week!
Monday after talking and emailing we had a super fun family night with 2 of our recent converts Jessica and Janaina! We had (hot dogs) Brazilian style, and hot chocolate!
Tuesday was soooooo cold and super rainy! Which means NO ONE wants to talk with us, NO ONE is in the streets and NO ONE will open the door for super wet cold Sister Missionaries! We are lucky to have the BEST recent convert Jessica, We hung out with her for a bit then finally at night we had a lesson!!! The lesson was with a super rad family, that is really really interested, they also have a fire place in their home, so it was a win-win Situation!!
Wednesday still SUPER COLD!!! We have an amazing member in our ward and she loves to go to lessons with us! so we had a few lessons with her its really cool because she is a convert herself and has an amazing testimony about the importance of going to church! so we were excited that she would share her testimony with our friends we are teaching! Then we were supposed to have a lesson with one of our friends but she wasn't home!!!! It was such a bummer, we ended up hanging out at our Bishops house and had the best hot chocolate I have ever had!! It was also my mamas Birthday and we all sang Happy Birthday to her in Portuguese, it was definitely a highlight!! THEY LOVE "MAMA NIC" so it was fun to sing and send her a voice recording to wish her the best birthday ever. (even though I am not there)
Thursday!! HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!! definitely.the.coldest. 4th of July IN MY LIFE!!! I couldn't believe it! but my companion and I celebrated with some pizza, singing some american songs and speaking a bunch of English!
Friday, STILL COLD!!! my companion and I have ended up wearing 2 pairs of tights, 1 pair of socks with boots, 5 shirts and a coat and yes still cold..... so Crazy we keep joking about how Brasil is supposed to be HOT!!! but we had some super awesome lessons! we were teaching one lesson and the lady that was talking just kept talking.... I didn't understand a thing, but I kept on pretending like I did. we left the lesson and I said to my companion, "I didn't understand anything!" My companion just starts to laugh her head off!!!! haha luckily that doesn't happen too often!!
Saturday! YEP and you guess??? That's right....STILL COLD!!! We ended up with Irma Marines and tried "mate doce" (everyone drinks it here in South America) so so so good!!! I never thought that "mate" would be good, BUT it was super good, I am not sure how to explain it but WOW....I will bring some home and we can all try it together...just wait a year! ;)
Sunday, so there was a big soccer game.... Peru vs Brasil.... we walked a past a house and I saw that BRASIL WON!!!!! so my companion and I stopped to watch a bit, the family in the house sees us and next thing you know he was shutting the blinds....hahahahaha it was pretty funny but we were super hyped Brasil won!! Also, awesome our District Leaders always call us to tell us how cold it is...Sunday morning it was -4 degrees Celsius... not sure in Fahrenheit what that is but it was SUPER FRIO!!
Man the weeks just seem to be flying by!! I cant believe I have already been here 4 months!!! It is super awesome here and I love being a missionary especially for the opportunities that I have to share my testimony with everyone we meet!! This week I challenge you that if you have a chance to share your testimony with someone!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
the church is true. the book is blue.
