Week 56-More about her experience with her new Mission President and his wife

Oi familia!!!!!

TE AMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO I am totally in heaven!!!! I am so happy!!!
We had one of the crazyiest weeks of my life. 
We worked hard, basically traveled all of joao pessoa doing things for vistas, doctors, dentisits, interviews, and distrist meetings!!! Which was super wierd to be with the elders. I was as little strange at first haha and then I opened up and was really spiritual and uplifting!!!

I LOVE PRESIDENT DIAS!!! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!! We have become really good friends. He has the strongest spirit and his sweet wife is amazing!!! They are like my parents!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When my comp was in the hospital- they showed up out of nowhere and stayed with us for 9 HOURS! and took us home at midnight!!! I spend 9 hours talking with him and learning from him! He is so funny, intelligente, and spiritual!! haha I later found out that they hadnt eaten all day and he had went out and bought me dinner with his money for food because I didnt have anything.It was also their P-day! I cried all night because in all of my mission I had never felt so loved by anyone. And the next p-day they had - he called me at 6:45 in the morning and asked me for our address he wanted to visit us! And he showed up at our house with A TON OF FOOD and he sat and talked doctrine with us for a few hours (during our studies) and then lef to have his p-day! I LOVED IT! We got on a huge doctrine discussion about the plan of salvation and I LOVED IT! hahahahaha

He speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese fluently!!!! haha and he loves to speak English with Sister Goodwin. I speak Portuguese with him but he has a huge accent bc he is from Portugal!!! He invited me to visit him when he gets back!!! hahaha I will!!! (: His home looks so beautiful!!! But its funny- he called me yesturday and he said something and I had no idea what we said and he laughed and said "ok I will speak Brasilian!!!" and he repeated and I totally understood him! hahah we had a good laugh about that one!!!

We had interviews with him this week! We talked a ton about the area what we are doing and he wants to come visit some of my investigators this week! I am so excited! haha 

I JUST LOVE HIM AND HIS WIFE! 

We actually just got to see him and his wife like an hour ago. They are having to do their vista!

haha Sorry that is a ton about my new president! But I really do love him. I have so much respect for him. I have already learned a ton from him and we think so much alike. AND HIS sweet wife is just a doll who is always in high heels!!! A powerful women! haha


The work is going good! We are having a hard time finding people to teach. We knocked on HUNDREDS OF DOORS in our little neighborhood! I know we will find the elect of god soon!!!!!!!!!!!! (: I am excited! 


Well I love you all so much! Thank you for all the emails and love!!!!

OI FAMILIA!!!!!!!

I love all of you so much!!!!!!!!!! <3 I hope you all are happy and well!  

I learned this week that God really does qualify who he calls!!! I love training and I LOVE MY TWO COMPANHEIRAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have a lot of work here in this area! We are working like little worker bees! hahaha Now that the area is bigger we have a lot more people to visit and a LOT more walking to do.

My daughter is a trooper! She is working so hard and her Portuguese is growing REALLY FAST everyday! She has so much confidence- I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My other beautiful comp is RIDICULOUSLY FUNNY! I love her so much!!!

She told us the other day: I speak Portuguese. She speaks English (Goodwin). And she speaks a mixture . (Wheatley)

It has been really good in a trio! Sister Rocha helps with Portuguese and they practice and I help with the translation and training!

We are crazy together! We took the youth out this week and everybody was just laughing and we found 5 new people to teach (people that said that they would go to church with us) !!!!!!! It was an amazing day!

I have got to run! But I want all of you to know that I Iove my Savior sooooo much! I know he will not leave me. I know he will not leave you. Do what is right and have Faith and trust in him. HE LIVES! HOW EXCITING AND AMAZING IS THAT! HE LIVES AND LOVES YOU AND ME!!!! HE LIVES AND IS RUNNING HIS CHURCH TODAY!

Week 52-New Mission President and Sao Joao Festival

OI FAMILIA E AMIGOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIZ UM ANO!!!! COMPLETED 1 YEAR!!!!

ITS CRAZY TO BELIEVE THAT I AM 2/3 DONE! We were joking that the time that my comp has been in the field is how much I have left. awww thats scary. only 6. 

This week we will have transfers; I have no idea what will happen. 11 sisters are going home and not one is coming in. So a LOT of areas will close for sisters. SO  we are all worried. And PRESIDENTE NOGUEIRA leaves WED! OUR NEW PRESIDENT WILL GET HERE THIS WEEK! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! hahaha
His name is President Dias. I am excited and nervous. We are expecting many changing and it will be weird. hahaha

This week was really amazing! I love this ward!!!! I love them so much!!!!!!!! Sunday we went and took a TON OF pictures!!! So when you enter the mission field your 1st comp or trainer is your mom. And every week we have two girls who have been going out with us. THEIR NAMES are Thais and Alice. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! But we have come to the conclusion that we are their moms (or trainers) and we call them are daughters!! I love them so much!!! (I am putting a picture) haha

I really love this ward; They have become my family. 

SO I AM LEARNING TO COOK BRAZILIAN FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED TO TEACH YOU ALL. It is amazing................ haha

This week was São João! Its like a folk festival. IT IS AMAZING! haha Everyone eats a TON of corn and dances!!!! And they build big bonfires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The whole area was full of music and smoke! haha for two days! But its really cool! I had a mom in our ward teach me how to make the food and I am so excited, I have to decided to have the São João festival every year of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well that was really random and all over the place! But know I love you all so much and I am happy! working hard and happy (: haha

Remember that there is always light at the end of a dark tunnel. There are always light posts along the way too! (: And a man with a torch beside you (; 

ATE MAIS!
