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.

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 36: AS AGUAS DO BATISMO

Image
This week the computer I'm using has a really awful keyboard so I'm going to do this in pictures. Enjoy! BATISMO!!! Here we have Kethelynn and Kemmily, who are the cutest girls you've ever met. They're super excited about the gospel and were baptized yesterday! They ate all the cake... but that's okay; it was their special day. We were visiting Kethelynn and Kemmily and they stole my camera and started filming things. I thought I'd take advantage of it so I filmed a video for y'all! The only problem is that it's in Portuguese (and also is really quiet and I'm not sure why). Anyway. Enjoy! Kethelynn made this for me. It means, "Don't let your fears decide for you."   Our zone! Everyone's crazy The world's saddest sight. I'm finally running out of peanut butter. This jar, at least..... Randomness that makes me happy So we have this thing where we challenge pe

Week 8: Eu Não Falo Português.... (muito bem)

So it´s been about two weeks in Brasil now, and boy-oh-boy it´s been a time. A good time, of course, but there have been some things to get used to. Like the language, for example. Fun fact: the people in Brasil speak Portuguese (also the keyboards are slightly different so please forgive any weird punctuation). And not only do they speak Portuguese, but they speak it quickly and about lots of different things using about a billion different words and the´re strung so tightly together that by the time you remember what the first word means they've finished the sentence. I've definitely been learning, though, and now I sometimes actually understand the gist of what people are saying. I have learned some new phrases, though. If you are ever invited to lunch in Brasil, try some of these phrases: Eu não estou com muito fome ~ I am starving* Apenas um poco mais ~ Pile it on, please Desculpa, estou cheia! ~ I haven´t eaten in a week, please give me more food Se eu como um outro

Week 28

Image
So last week I said pretty much everything important, so I thought this week I'd share some pictures. The problem is my camera is a potato and I have yet to figure out how to consistently upload the pictures (and also I always forget to take pictures...) and so I found a few on the mission website and shamelessly stole all the good ones. Maybe one day I'll finally figure out how to post my own, but until then, enjoy these.  So here we have my first companion (Sister Gomes), my second companion (Sister K. Souza), me, a random Sister whom I don't know, my current companion (Sister Melo), and in the front is another American (Sister Anderson) who arrived the same day as me. Here are the two Sisters we're living with, Sister Arruda and Sister Sivincha. Sister Sivincha is from Bolivia (where they speak Spanish) and has a little more than 2 months in the field. Sister Arruda has a year and one month and is from Matto Grosso, Brasil.  Here's the whole miss
