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 I'll miss my flight. I hope y'all have an awesome week, and I'll talk to you later!

Love y'all!
Sister Hiatt

I think this will be my new address in Brazil... don't actually send me anything because it's really expensive and also unsafe, but you do you.

Av Dr. Luís Rocha Miranda, 159
8º Andar

Brazil

There's this cat on campus (and rumor has it she has the priesthood) and she's low-key my favorite thing here. Anyway, right before this picture she was sitting pretty and we were snuggling a little, but then when they clicked the camera she ran away and this picture is what they caught.

Me with the map! If all goes well that's where I'll be in like
30ish hours (except not by the map... like, actually
in the place I'm pointing, give or take)

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

Image
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. We're not as desperate to learn, we're not as humble, we think to ourselves, 'well, I'm not perfect, but I think I'm doing okay,' and use that as an excuse to stop changing. 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 3: In Which I Celebrate Thanksgiving, Work as a Sealer, and Get to Meet a German Shepherd

Image
Hey y'all! How have you been? How was Thanksgiving? I hope everyone had good food, and awesome family and friends to share it with. As good as your holiday may have been, though, I betcha mine was better. Thanksgiving morning we had a devotional given by a very special person, someone whom we were promised we would appreciate. And appreciate we did. It was quite possibly the coolest day of my life. You know how sick kids get to meet whoever they want, like through the Make a Wish Program or whatever? This person would have been my Make a Wish. They were super funny and also spiritual and just about the coolest person ever. They (and their spouse) gave a talk and then the best part was after when---hang on, I'm getting ahead of myself. The person (are you ready for this) was... drumroll, please.... ELDER DIETER F. UCHTDORF!!!!! Awesome, right? In the flesh. Like, I could see him. It was the coolest thing. Since it was Thanksgiving, he spoke about gratitude. My favorite was wha...

Week 56: Challenge Accepted

Image
So we're teaching this guy and he's pretty cool. His name is Anderson and he is an atheist. Now, there aren't a ton of atheists here in Brasil, and most of the ones we've met have been either slightly rude or politely disinterested in the gospel, but this guy is different. He lets us talk with him and teach and stuff, and every time we challenge him to do something, he does it (que significa que ele é menos mole do que a maioria de nossos pesquisadores, embora não acreditar em Deus). So he's been praying pretty much every day (even though he hasn't yet really felt the Spirit) and he went to church last week, and he watched the restoration video (you know, the one that's like an hour and a half long). So one day we were talking about stuff, and I was explaining that all these things are important because they prepare us to make covenants with God, like baptism. I then challenged him to prepare to be baptized. He had accepted all our other challenges until tha...
