Week Threeeeee :D


Three weeks down!! I'm gonna keep this one pretty short but this week was another great week! We had our first TRC in Portuguese this week and it went super good! My Portuguese is coming along pretty good and the whole time I could understand what our investigator was saying, so that helped a ton lol. We got a bunch of new missionaries this week and our zone doubled in size so that was kind of crazy but fun! When my comp and I had to go pick them up we lost half of them and I was running around the MTC trying to find them and I finally did haha. We said goodbye to the Spanish sisters in our zone and that was really sad because we have all became such good friends, but I'm excited to get close to the new elders and sisters! The weather has been pretty good but it's snowing today so that sucks haha. One cool thing I learned this week was how important faith is and how it relates to obedience. Sometimes I feel like we have all of these rules at the MTC and it feels like that's the only thing people care about here. I try my best to be exactly obedient, but sometimes I just don't understand why we have certain rules and I feel like I'm stressing too much about being exactly obedient. In class this week my teacher shared a quote that really helped me. She said, "Never measure your righteousness by your obedience measure it by your faith in the Savior, but realize your obedience is a measure of your faith". Out of all of the things I have been learning here at the MTC, having faith and trusting in the Lord has been the most taught and the most helpful thing I have learned here. I may not understand the rules or why we have them, but I know they are from God. I may not always be exactly obedient, but I know if I try my best and have faith that He will help me. I know that's all He wants from me. This is something I want to use even after my mission. I love reading and studying the Book of mormon and the gospel everyday and I always feel myself coming closer to Christ and understanding his plan for ALL OF US!! I love it here, but it's hard sometimes, I am so grateful for all of the friends I have made here. They are such a blessing to me! Sorry I thought this one would be short but guess not lol. Hope everyone is doing  good and I pray for all of you guys every night! AMO TODOS VOCES TCHAU <3 <3 :D

  Olá Meus Queridos!! I don't know when was the last time I've written to all of you 😅. If any of you still read these posts I just wanna say thanks for being patient with me!  A lot has changed recently in our mission... We received a new mission President and his family. A bunch of new missionaries from the states are starting to arrive. I have served most of my mission close to Lisbon and in the central part of Portugal. But this last transfer I was sent all the way up to the northern part of the country in a little town outside of Porto called São João da Maderia. It's such a cool little area with a lot of trees and a good view of the ocean. The northern part of Portugal is completely different from the central and southern part. The people are very hard to talk to and the culture is different. I was a little nervous when I got here, but I was excited to see what this new area and zone had to offer!  This last transfer I had a very special experience with one of our in

Ola todos!! I have been in the MTC for 5 weeks now! Like I said before, the time keeps on flying by super fast! This week was really good besides me having a cold lol, but I’m starting to feel better! We didn't have any new missionaries come into our zone this week, so that meant my comp and I had more TRC'S!! We have been teaching this girl named Mele and I have loved being able to teach her with my comp! She is super nice and speaks very fast BRAZILLIAN PORTUGUESE!! It's so hard to understand her lol because she pronounces everything differently than we do because we speak Continental Portuguese. I can understand half of what she says, but it still works out pretty good and she understands what we are trying to teach. We have been teaching her how important baptism is and having faith in God and how making and keeping covenants with him will bless us. We will always have the gift of the Holy Ghost if we endure to the end! The MTC is such a cool and fun place and I'm

Ola!! Hope everyone is doing well! Today is my last day at the MTC and I’m soooo ready to get out and serve! To be completely honest, I did not think I would have such a good experience here at the MTC, but I'm so glad that I did! I owe it all to my Heavenly Father for putting such amazing people in my life. I have truly learned so much from everyone here at the MTC and I hope I can have the same effect on the people that I will meet in Portugal! On our last day of class with my teacher Irmao Haycock we did this really cool activity for our last day. We went to the S1 building in the MTC and in that building there is this long hallway with paintings of Christ all over the wall. Our teacher told us to walk down the hall and look at each painting of Christ and try to feel the spirit and see what each painting means to us, and once we got done looking at all of them, we would walk back down the hall and show each other which painting was our favorite and what it meant to us. This acti
