Week 36: AS AGUAS DO BATISMO

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 people to make a cross with just one rip in the paper. We tell a story and do an origami thing so that in the end you rip the paper straight through and you're left with a cross, but this guy very carefully ripped the paper to make a cross and technically it was only one tear so I guess he wins. 

The super cute couple we're teaching! They're going to get married later this year and then they'll be baptized.

Minha amada companheira! She straightened my hair for the baptism yesterday. She's pretty cool. I like her a lot. 

I think that's it. Today is transfers so I don't have a ton of time. I'm going to stay here but my companion will go to the next city over, and I'll stay with a girl who got here the same day I did. She's hispanic, too, so we'll have yet another transfer without a native Brasileiro. I'm very excited and it's going to be awesome. 

The church is true. Baptisms are awesome (and an essential part of our salvation). 

Love y'all!

P.S. Send me some watercolors so that I can make a note as cute as Kethelynn made for me

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

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
