Oiiiiiiii! TUDO BEMMMMMM!? (Hi! OKAY!!!)
Okay this week was wild to say the least...where do I begin?
Monday - Saying Good bye for now but not forever...I had to say goodbye to Sister Amorim she will be forever in my heart. I literally cried non stop the entire way to dropping her off. I never thought that I would find my Best Friend in Brazil. But guess what I DID. I feel so lucky that I had the chance to work with such an amazing person as she is. President talked with me for a bit over the phone about how I was doing and asked me to be a Trainer WHAT?? a trainer I feel like I am still in training. haha I am very excited and nervous all at the same time! I know this area really well so I am excited to embark on this new adventure.
Tuesday - We got a call from the Elders in the offices telling me and the other sister that was staying with me that our new companions were getting on the plane. She is going to be training an American and I will be training a Brazilian! The Elders told us how nervous and stressed our new companions were. After their phone call we headed to the airport to get our "mission daughters" (filhas) We got to the airport and finally met our new comps! My new companion is Sister Anunciação and when I first met her I could tell that she was definitely very nervous,and quickly learned that she does not speak any English. Sister Anunciação is from Bahia which is on the Nordeste (North East) side of Brasil, haha all of my comps so far are from different states of Brazil but all from the Nordeste! The other new American Sister did not understand anything that was going on, and it was crazy for me to think back and realize that only 5 months ago that was me!!! So something funny, well not so funny in the moment but it is a little funny looking back on it, was that Sister Anunciação was a little nervous about everything and all of a sudden the member that was helping us, broke her suitcase!!!! The rest of the night was good, we went to Jessica's house and I got to talk with my trainer Sister Santos over WhatsApp!! It was really cool because she finished her mission and is back at home now!
Wednesday- So this was one of those days as a missionary where quite possibly everything that could have gone wrong..... went wrong! All of our lessons that we had planned and scheduled for that day fell through which made it a very interesting first day of missionary work for my companion and for me as her trainer lol
Thursday- Remember how Wednesday was the "everything went wrong day"? Well that happened on Thursday too, almost everything went wrong as well.... BUT we stopped and said a quick prayer that we would be able to meet some really good people to teach! And I was once again reminded that the Lord works in mysterious ways.... We found some super awesome people that were in need of a message and a prayer! so that was a major blessing and a super awesome answer to our prayer!
Friday- Our recent convert Janaina came to a lesson with us, and we were really excited she was able to come with us! The name of the lady we were teaching is Ana, and she is one of those people who just really likes to talk... like a lottttt!!!!! Needless to say we spent a bunch of time with her that day but we are excited that she is progressing quite a bit!!!
Saturday- The morning was freezing!! So I left the house wearing soooo many layers of clothing but it turns out that even though the morning was so cold the afternoon got to be sooo hot!! We went to a few lessons with some of the people that Sister Amorim and I found before, such as Sandra, Tat and Noeli and everyone was a little sad to not have Sister Amorim here still but they are excited to get to know Sister Anunciação!!!
Sunday- Church at 8 am!!! Wow that's always the best thing! On our way to church we passed by Ana's house to see if she was going to go to church with us. She told us that she could not come this week because it was cold and it was Fathers Day here in Brazil .... Because of the Fathers day festivities only one of our friends came to church! But after church we had a fun lunch with a bunch of members from Bahia and that was so much fun! we also got to call our Dads too!! Which was a super fun surprise and fun to see my dad for "Fathers Day"! My companion was also bitten by a spider on her leg so we went to the doctors to make sure everything was going good and since she could not walk very well with her spider bite we were ordered to stay in our house for the rest of the night!!!! So we studied a bunch and made some dinner!
Not going to lie this week was a little rough, but I know that next week will be better!!!! I love you all so much and remember to always look for the Lord's hand in your life! Just like we had to do when we were needing to find someone to teach.The Lord is always here for you!!!!
Love you all,
Sister Sanovich
