Hey everyone (:
I am so stunned at where this transfer went! I can't believe
it! Every day this week, Sister A. Silva and I got home in tears because of how
quickly this time is going. It's so hard to believe that my cute little trainee
has been out for 3 months already! Where is this time going?
So I don't know for sure what is going to happen with
transfers this weekend, but I am pretty sure I am leaving São Gabriel... We
will see. I have been crying about it almost every day and I REALLY hope it
doesn't happen. But we will see! Whatever is supposed to happen is supposed to
happen, right? I have fallen SO in love with this area, with the members, and
with the people here. I can't imagine serving anywhere else. I've got the same
connection with this area here that I had with Prattville, Alabama. So yeah,
it's going to be difficult... But we will see!
Can I just go off for a minute about how much I have fallen
in love with these people here? It's absolutely insane how much I love them.
Like when we schedule visits with our cute less-active members who have hardly
anything, and they have all sorts of little presents and treats for us. Like
when I end up not feeling very well and having the entire branch calling and
checking up on me. Like when certain people that we are working with tell me
that I was sent here to help them. All of these things. I don't think that I
could ever love a group of people like I love the people here. It's incredible
this love I have for them. I am ETERNALLY grateful to my Father in Heaven for
allowing me to be here with them, to grow with them, and to love them so much.
Things are going super well. I don't know what else I could
really say about it. I just love my life far too much. I love my mission, and I
love everything that I am doing. Things are just falling into place (: I can't
express how happy I am with everything that is taking place. My mission is the
biggest blessing in my life. These people I have met, here and in Alabama, have
blessed my life SO much.
I hope you all know how strong my testimony of this gospel
is. I have never loved anything like I love this church. Everything that I am
learning has just strengthened my testimony even more. It all just makes sense.
This church is true. I have never felt so much gratitude for something in my
life. I LOVE everything that I am doing.I can't express all the love I feel for this gospel and for
my calling as a missionary.
I love you all so much and miss you like crazy! I am excited
to see you all in a short 7 months (from yesterday... CRYING!) I love you
alllllllll (:
Fiquem fortes (:

P.S. Description from a picture that Jazzy sent but was corrupted and couldn't be posted:
Gordín. Talk about the cutest old man you have ever met in
your whole life. He went off about how much he wants me to marry a
"gaúcho" so that I could stay here forever. He is the cutest thing in
the entire world.
