FEBRUARY 1 Transferências! STL?! Feb. 1, 2016
So this week started off strange. Tuesday got a phone call for transfers. And the first person to get their transfer was...ME! which was not really a great thing. Because I had another one transfer area. And my new area - Potengi - Is the area of the STL. so I also got a new calling. I am the newest sister training leader in the mission. Which is a BIG responsibility. And I am already feeling it. When i get home I just want to sleep! Do nothing else...just sleep!
But my new area is great! I love it! got here last week and we already taught and baptized 2 of gods elect people here in Potengi! Gabrielle and Ronaldo!
And I have a lot more to look forward to this week. We will have our first concelho and I will go to Natal for a training. And then return to give the training to our Zone! I dont know how that one will go....
But I realized something today walking to the Lanhouse...there was a baby crying in the street. He didnt want to get in the car. And he thought that was the worst thing that could happen in his little life at the moment. And I was thinking. If only getting into the car was my only problem right now. How innocent are his problems now. And how much we dont realize that until they pass and we have bigger badder problems. So maybe if we (or I) Start focusing more on the blessings of what happens after we get in the car, we can stop being slowed down by the dificulties.
Love you all!

FEBRUARY 8This week was CRAZy!!!
So this week was really really crazy...
Found a scorpian in our house.
There was A LOT of rain!
I had a bunch of funny stories from our investigators...about the law of chastity...but he is so funny!
I am expirencing what it is like to be living in Brazil during Carnival and I do not like it!
But we got to have a P Day with the whole zone today and it was SUPER COOl! played volleyball and air hockey and pool...it was legit!
But Now we have to clean up the chapel...so that is not the fun part...but my zone is SO COOL! I love it!
And I had a realization this week! I really want to learn how to play the piano for real! I know how to play a few things...but when I get home I think that will be my new goal! The piano and the Guitar!
The weeks are passing by so fast. But the days are passing by so slow...I had an interview with president this week and he started out by saying...sister. I have some bad news for you. you have almost hit your year mark...so thanks president! i am trying to forget...
love you all!
