So the district last week got their reassignments Thursday and it was super awesome and exciting since they usually come on Friday
and we were all hoping so much that that would happen again this week
for us... and it totally didn't... So I don't know yet, but we should be
finding out where and when sometime later today! So I will be
emailing you later today with all the info! AHH! I am so excited! It's
like getting another mission call!
No, I haven't received any info about my visa yet... just
what you have sent me. And I kind of forgot about that until just now...
so I will totally get on that right after this and get all that info
off to you today! Sorry about not getting it out sooner!
So we do this thing called TRC in the MTC, which is basically
this program where volunteers come to the MTC to be taught by the
missionaries and we teach them and it's pretty cool. It's
cool getting to talk to and teach people other than our teachers in
portugues. So last Saturday we did skype TRC session
with people from Brazil! It was horrible. hahaa Sister Ray and I
couldn't understand anything she was saying and it kept breaking up and
we just had no idea what we were doing... haha but it was cool to get
to listen to actual brazilians speak portugues and uh know that we are
completely going to stink at the language when we actually get to brazil, whenever that
is going to be... but yeah despite the horribleness it was a pretty good
experience.
Let's see, what else happened... Oh! I finished the Book of
Mormon on Wednesday! The whole thing before I left the MTC! I didn't
know if I was actually gonna be able to do it but I totally did and it
was awesome! Also speaking of the BoM, our sub (we've had 10
teachers so far here, pretty sure that's a record) told us about
how President Hinckley said once that if a person were to read the
whole BoM in a different language you would be fluent in that language
by the time you finished it... guess who is reading the whole
book of mormon in portugues now!! hahah seriously though, why didn't
they tell us this at the very beginning?? I feel like that is something
that should be told on the first day. Seriously.
Yesterday was In-Field Orientation all day. It was ok. Not as
bad as I thought it would be, since you know they had us do all these
lame group activities and stuff, but I learned a bunch about the field
(kinda...hahah) and got to hear a bunch of awesome mission stories.
Oh and we also hosted again Wednesday! That was fun! I love
hosting, you get to meet so many cool people. Not just the sisters I
hosted, but also all the other missionaries helping out. I met
an elder from England and one from Scotland and just a bunch of other
cool missionaries. And I got to host 4 new sisters again, and
actually the 1st and 3rd girls I hosted ended up being companions so
that was fun.
OHH! and I almost forgot!! Elder Larson got his visa yesterday
and so did another sister, from the other district that came in the
same time as us, Sister Green. We are all really excited for them! But I am getting my reassignment later today so you'll be hearing
from me again!
Funny stories. Last night Elder Larson asked how fast email is
in Brazil... hahah we all found it pretty hilarious. Um also, Elder
Bernard and a friend of his have a uke right now, here in the laundry
room and we are all breaking it down to backstreet boys right
now as I speak, pretty awesome, especially since we've just moved on to
little mermaid haha :]
I love you guys, miss you guys! I love hearing from
you! I don't think DearElder works once I leave the MTC but I will send all you guys my new address and stuff and it should
be easier to read emails, maybe, so you should start emailing me
again. Love you! can't wait to tell y'all where I'm headed! Talk to ya
later!!
