Week 42: Não Falo Inglês [I don't speak English]

Se não deseje receber estas cartas cada semana, ou se conhece alguém que gostaria os receber, fala para mim e vou arrumar a lista. Também pode ler a história na www.sisterhiattsadventures.blogspot.com

[If you do not wish to receive these letters every week, or if you know someone who would like to receive them, talking to me and I will arrange the list. You can also read the story in www.sisterhiattsadventures.blogspot.com]

Olá amigos! Como vocês estão? Esta semana eu achei que seria legal a provar que estou, em verdade, aprendendo Português. Com nove meses falando só Português, estou literalmente esquecendo (pode perguntar para minha família se não acredite). Eu espero que Google Translate não faca bagunça das minhas palavras, mas vamos ver (Lembram aquele vídeo de Studio C com a casal que fala por meio de Google Translate? Eu espero que esta carta não esteja tão bagunça).

[Hello friends! How are you? This week I thought it would be nice to prove that I am, in fact, learning Portuguese. With nine months speaking only Portuguese, I'm forgetting literally (you can ask my family if you do not believe it). I hope Google Translate doesn't make a mess of my words, but we'll see (remember that video of Studio C with the couple who speaks through Google Translate? I hope this letter is not so messy).]

Sábado nos tivemos um atividade da ala onde nos comemos um monte de caldos e sopas, e cantamos Kareoke. Levamos uma mulher estamos ensinando até lá e ela amou. Muitos jovens e mesmo algumas adultos estavam cantando e foi muito divertindo. Ela queria cantar também mas teve vergonha de cantar em frente de tudo mundo. Ela gostou mesmo assim.

[Saturday we had a ward activity where we eat a lot of soups and broths, and sang Karaoke. We took a woman we are teaching there and loved it. Many young people and even some adults were singing and it was very fun. She wanted to sing too but was embarrassed to sing in front of all the world. She liked it anyway.]

Hoje é transferências, mas eu vou ficar aqui em Santo André com Sister Medrano, que é ótimo porque amo minha companheira. Ela me deixa cantar na rua (mesmo quando ela não deve...) e trabalhamos bem juntas. Além de nos, uma das Sisters com quem moramos vai para uma outra área, e a Sister que fica vai trainar (de novo) pelas últimas seis semanas dela. Estou muita animada pela próxima transferência e sei que vai ser top.

[Today's transfers, but I'll stay here in Santo André with Sister Medrano, which is great because I love my companion. She lets me sing on the street (even when she should not ...) and we work well together. In addition to us, one of the Sisters who lives with us will move to another area, and the Sister who is staying is going to train (again) for the last six weeks of her mission. I am very excited for the next transfer and know it will be top.]

Obrigada povo! Espero que conseguirem entender (e próxima semana vamos voltar e falar em Inglês porque eu sei que têm algumas pessoas que não gostam tanto de outras idiomas...)

[Thanks people! I hope you manage to understand (and next week we will go back and speak in English because I know I have some people who are not so fond of other languages ​​...)]

Amo vocês e me sinto saudade!
[I love you and I miss you!]

P.S. Manda para mim um dicionário de Português até Inglês porque eu não lembro mais....

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...
