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 47: Bem-Vindo, Amigo! Preparar-se Para Mudar

So this week was pretty wild. I saw John (he's entering the CTM here and in a few weeks will serve no Missão Brasil São Paulo Oeste, which is awesome) and my mission president let me go to the airport to meet him (que foi um pouco trunky mas eu gostei). He's going to do awesome things on the mission, I know. Boa sorte, amigo! (In this picture he looks taller but that's because I'm behind him and the picture was taken at a weird angle. I am in fact taller, thank you very much) We had an awesome Zone Conference this week and I wanted to share with you some of my notes. I think sometimes we reach a certain point and then stop progressing.

But in reality, we're here to change. God wants us to be perfect and when we stop repenting of the little things each day, we make H...

Week 49: Só Aguas

So when I got here, the Sisters had already been teaching a family for a while. The family was awesome and very receptive, but hadn't yet been to church despite having been invited several weeks in a row. The dad, Emerson, was trying to quit smoking and had gone down from 4 packs a day to 5 cigarets and the girls were reading the Book of Mormon, but my companion wasn't sure if they'd really start going to church and would be baptized. But we kept teaching and last week they went to General Conference and *loved* it. The girls thought the chapel was the prettiest building they'd seen and Emerson said he felt the Spirit really strongly right when he entered. They liked listening to the apostles and the prophet, and promised to come back each Sunday to learn more. They really wanted to be baptized, but one by one they had problems come up. Emerson, despite his best efforts, was having trouble kicking the last cigaret. Isabelly started to feel a little aprehensive and was...

1 YEAR! WOOT WOOT

Image
So if my math is right, this Thursday will mark one year since I entered the MTC (wild, right?), and what a year it's been. So if you've only been skimming and looking through the photos I send, I thought I'd do a recap of all the highlights. Transfers: 0- MTC, with Sister Jones and Sister Miller (and when they left, Sister Christiansen and Sister Johnsen, and when they were busy Elder Wright and Elder McFarlane (yo, the MTC was wild)) 1- Riberão Pires, Santista, with Sister Gomes 2- Ficamos 3- same area, with Sister K. Souza 4- Maua, Pilar, with Sister Melo 5-Santo André, Ala 4, com Sister Marchioni 6-Santo André 4 com Sister Medrano 7- Ficamos 8-Rudge Ramos, Assunção, com Sister Sales And since it's all about the numbers: Number of different kinds of pizza I've tried: 8+ (frango com catupiry, portuguesa, baiana, broccoli, one-that-I-don't-know-what-it's-called-but-was-good, chocolate com M&Ms, brigadeiro, calabresa, and probably other...
