The Adventure Begins!

Hey y'all! This is Hannah Hiatt, and I'll be serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Brazil São Paulo South Mission for the next eighteen months. I report to the Provo MTC (*cough cough* darn slow visa) on November 7th (that's tomorrow!), and I'm super excited. This blog is where I'll post pictures and stories of my adventures. 

 If you'd like to write me, my email is hannah.hiatt@myldsmail.net. I'd love to hear from you!

Week 6: Tcau tcau, Irmao!

Meu Districto (que inclui nosso professoro, Irmao Haymore) Hey everyone! I've finished my six weeks at the MTC up here in Provo, Utah, and now it's time to vroom vroom all the way to Sao Paulo, Brazil, where I'll spend the next 17ish months. I'ts been such a good week but I don't have time to tell y'all about it, so stay tuned. I won't say I'm ready but I'm excited for the next adventure, and I know it'll be a good experience. The Elders in my district are SUPER amazing, and I'm really going to miss them. They're going to do awesome things in Brazil and Boston (and California, for a transfer). Also Sister Christensen (who is actually coming with us, switching to the Brazil MTC) and Sister Petersen. The people here are all so nice and the Spirit is always so strong, and I hope I never forget the things I've learned here. Pretty lights (and Elders too... they're okay I guess) I'm sorry, I need to go like right now or ...

Semana 58: I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Image
This week we had a Christmas Conference with the whole mission together, and it was a really sweet experience. The first half was a lot of presentations of missionaries (mostly musical) and was pretty neat. A zone of just Elders were the first to sing and it was a very nice start (because it meant that it was all uphill from there). A lot of people (mostly Sisters) sang, sometimes in various languages. An Elder did a pretty neat magic show where his volunteer chose a card, showed it to all of us, and then he was asked to rip it up... mentally. But by the time he said the "mentally" part the card was already in pieces. The Elder got a little upset (because yo, his card was messed up). So he finished ripping it up and threw it into the trash, except one piece which the volunteer held on to. The Elder got a little frustrated and so he decided to eat an orange to calm down. But when he opened it up, there was the card. Torn up, taped together, (a little sticky with orange juice) ...

Semana 57: Surprise Blessings

This week was pretty A-okay. We had interviews with our mission president (which is always an adventure) and learned some things, and then on Sunday we had a miracle. Throughout the week we had invited a ton of people to come to church with us but in the end only two families had confirmed that they'd go. So we made plans to meet up with them and go to church together. One of the families lives in the other side of our area from the church, which is about an hour away walking. So on Sunday we left early and walked and walked, but when we got to the home of the first family they said that the mom had been called in to work at the last minute and that they couldn't go. So that was kinda sad. And when we finally got to the other house (the one that was super ridiculously far away) we were super excited. But then we got there and it turned out that they were dead asleep. So we were kinda bummed out and started the long lonely trip to church. We were planning on getting a ride with ...
