So I wasnt transferred today! Woo hoo! Sister Oliveira and I
are both staying here this transfer, but we are going to get a third companion.
I already know that trios are hard, so it is a little stressful, but it is so
good so that I'll have another person to go out and teach with when Sister
Oliveira has to stay in and not walk because of her feet. They are a little
better but sometimes she just wakes up with tons of pain. She met with the
podiatrist that the mission chooses in the main city of Santos, so he is good
and he sees all the missionaries so he understands the mission life. Pretty
much it is something wrong with the shape or something of her feet that make it
so they become inflamed when walking a lot. And the problem with this is that
we walk... ALOOOT. He pretty much said that truly she needs to stay in the
house for two weeks, take this pain medication and do a month of physical
therapy so they're trying to figure it out. She is afraid because she really
doesn’t want to go home, but the doctor said that if she doesn’t take care of
it it will become a chronic problem where she will always have pain when
walking for the rest of her life soooooo it is hard, but I am still really happy
that we'll be together for Christmas:) woohooo! If you all send another package
please send some of those twisty crayons where you turn the plastic thing and
it comes up because she really loves mine hahahaha
Lucas, the less active who has come back with his family and
who is preparing for a mission, went out with us after church on Sunday to
teach lessons and man, that kid was just waiting for someone to invite him
back! He was awesome and said some great things in our lessons!
Also, the word of wisdom and the law of chastity are so
important! Honestly, it isn’t a lack of testimony or the Spirit that keeps people
from being baptized most of the time, it is their inability to follow one of
these two things and truly have a conversion and make it to baptism.
All is well here and I honestly am really healthy other than
the fact that I am not eating super healthy, which I hate! Salads aren’t really
a thing here!
How are the missionaries in our ward doing? Did all their
baptisms come through? Please make friends with the recent converts, because
missionaries NEED MEMBERS TO HELP THE CONVERTS STAY IN THE CHURCH AND HAVE A
GOOD EXPERIENCE. This is literally the hardest thing ever, because technically
after baptism the ward is supposed to take over teaching and helping, because
as missionaries we just dont have the time, but it doesnt always happen.
Man!
HAVE A GOOD WEEK AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SOOOOO
MUUUCCHHHHH!!!!!!
