heyy! thanks so much for the pictures! HAPPY NEW YEAR! i cant believe its already 2012! it's so crazy! This past week was good! i had my ups and my downs but in all they are always great because the spirit is so strong! Dont worry about sending me to much mail or clogging up my email! it doesnt bother me at all! :)
Yesterday was a motivating moment for me..i dont want to be just a normal missionary..i want to be the best missionary i can be and one that the lord can trust and count on. i was asked to give my first blessing this past week...a sister in my branch asked me to give her one..OMG i cant even explain the feeling, i felt a burning throughout my chest. The spirit was so strong. After the blessing she turned got up and had tears running down her face and i had so much compassion and love in my heart. 5 minutes later i had no idea what i had said..she told me later that i said things that no one else knew about to comfort her. It was such an amazing experience. The spirit of the Lord was in the room, we all felt it. I cant wait to get out into the field and help the people of Brazil! But i need to work hard to get the language so i can be an effective tool in the hands of the Lord.
I will try my best to send pictures next week! the computers were packed today so i had to wait and go to the Labs and i have to make it quick! i will send a letter this week! :) Give all my love to the family and friends..Give michael a hug for me...i felt so bad when i heard his mom died. I will keep him and his family in my prayers. Yeah a blog sounds awesome! i promise i will send pictures next week so you can get that started! :) i love you so much!
ps. that mother/son bonding time sounds amazing for when i get back! :)
