hey guys!!
i'm still here in Chuy WITH MY SAME COMP which is so fun and so out of character for my mission president!!
But a lot has happened, here are some things i love about my area and some things i don't love quite as much:
☆don't love:
-macumba: black magic practiced in brazil that involves animal sacrifices and luring people with food?? I dont really know that much about it but we walked past a sacrificed dog one time and that was really horrible.
-our house is infested with worms
-just lots of bugs overall. one time i was in the middle of bearing my testimony to our friend when my comp just started screaming and frantically pointing at my back. she started swatting me and i saw that the biggest beetle i have ever seen had fallen on me :)
☆ LOVE
-lots of acai here and i'm addicted
-living with 4 hermanas! i have so much fun talking with them and trying to help them bake stuff!
-our recent converts!! last transfer i was really able to see how the gospel changes people's lives and shapes them into more joyful people. we've seen amazing changes in our friends blanca and monica, in their process of conversion they've become so much happier! they smile more, they use softer voices with their loved ones, they sleep easier, they're more loving and open. literally unrecognizable from our first visits with them. and then we've had other friends that had these huge dramatic miracles where the answer to their prayers was just right in front of their faces, and we were so sad and confused why these friends didn't progress. but i've learned that the real miracle of the gospel is the little changes that Christ works in us until we become better people, more like Him.
love you guys!!
