December 11, 2018


CTM is awesome!! Beans and rice daily but the people are incredible!! Not a lot of time, so real fast, Sister Vaenuku and I have been teaching our investigators (our instructors) every day and we have definitely improved, which is nice to know haha our Portuguese is still minimal but it is so fun to be around the natives and be immersed in it.

 The Sao Paola temple was so beautiful and really neat to do a session in Portuguese! I love my time here and am loving Brazil!! We can walk down the street for P day so we can go to stores and buy food which is a nice break! The weather is different everyday, from cold to super warm, like today, super hot! It has been so awesome to be immersed in the gospel everyday and I loved the |Christmas devotional where Pres Nelson invited us to read the Spirit of Christ this season! I encourage you all to share His love with all around you! His love is everlasting!!


The temple was INCREDIBLE!! Its smaller but so beautiful!! There is this beautiful stained glass at the entrance inside of Jesus standing and all the people coming to touch him and embrace him, the colors are amazing in it and the message is even better! The grounds remind me of the LA TEMPLE where the gates come right up to a busy street! Being there brings a sweet taste of home and I cannot wait to go back tomorrow!!


I am absolutely loving the people here, seriously the sweetest, they embrace every chance they can and do a little kiss on the cheek which is so precious! I love my roommates and companion and my district is pretty sweet! It has been extremely hard work learning a new language in such a short time but have definitely seen the Lords hand in my life in helping me speak to those around me! Love it!!!

Thanks for all your well wishes and prayer! I love this work and Brazil!
