Oiiii tudo mundo!!! Modi k bu sta???
If you can nome the movie my titles from, you win a high five when I get back hahah!!!
Well, some updates from over here.... we moved over 10 minutes to Achada Santo Antônio and now live in the same house that I stay at when I arrived like 9 months ago hahaha its kinda trippy ngl haha all the memories of the first couple days and first Sunday here came back to me haha but this time I am the missionary staying here :) which comes with the benefits of introducing ourselves in sacrament meeting and bearing our testemonies with a 2 min notice haha glad I can speak more Portuguese now!
But I left the ward in Bela Vista.. one of the best wards here in Praia! And finished off my last week setting 2 more batismal dates!!! Good news is I'll get to still be there!! So super excited for them!! They are the cutest and full of faith!
Anyways, here we are sharing a ward with another companionship of sisters so its been a little wack not gonna lie. First time for me serving with more than my own companionship. But its a blast cause we live in the hotel house with a bazillion beds in the middle of Praia haha so definitely gonna be a party.
Also with sharing a ward, we're trying to figure out how to split the ward, members, area, etc cause the transfer before they only had one comp of elderes and they covered a couple areas, but our mission is growing incredibly fast... anyways all the logistics but our ward is awesome and super nice and willing to help so we'll be fine, just doing the starting over again :)
And I am in fact training again and my comps from Cabo Verde but the island of Sal so her kriole is Sambadjud (from the northern islands) which is so fun to hear since its still new to me. So hopefully I'll get to learn even more kriole this transfer!
Highlight from this week was one of the funnest reunions with sister Everitt and Carvalho and Cardoso since they all came back to Praia and I got to see them all again. Awhh love them to death!!! Only sad thing is now that I moved 10 min away I'm in the other zone and won't get to see them too often but all good... Zone conference will come and we'll get to do the run and hug thing all over again :)
Sad news is I've had a pretty horrible cough for some time now which means at all our mission meetings, church, lessons, I just drink tons of sips of water to keep myself from hacking in the middle of it. Hopefully it starts to get better haha I just keep saying Satan's messing with my throat kkkkkk
Anyways, this week during my personal study I read Alma 26 and did a challenge from Sister Wunderli to write a list of the blessings we've been given and also challenges but how God has helped us get through them. It was super fun to think and try to list as many both blessings and challenges cause I realised God is always there helping us. A quote I really like (but can't remember word for word) says that you need to remember that you have gotten through 100% of your bad days. Every trial, every hard day or situation, you've been able to make it through. And as I thought about it some more, I realised all of this is because and through Christ. During the hard times in my life, I know I can always turn to Him and He understands, and loves me, and wants to help. So never forget to reach out to Him and let Him hear you, because He can!! (Matthew 11:28-30)
Super grateful for my Savior and all He has done for each one of us! Thanks for reading and would love to hear about your lives too!! Have a fantastic week!!! Love you all!!!!
