It's Hot Here Yall

Oi pessoal!!! 

 

I hope you all had an awesome week!! The people here are some of the nicest people I have ever met!!

 

The flight to Brazil was pretty long and it was delayed for 2 hours before we took off. And for some reason mission travel sent Elder Banda and I by ourselves instead of with our district the day before. I am not sure why... hahaha but we had a good time. If you ever wondered, Subway at the Atlanta airport is pretty yummy. When Elder Banda and I got to the São Paulo Airport we couldn't find the person who was supoosed to pick us up.... So that was a little silly! We eventually found them after about 30 minutes of searching and now I am officially at the CTM!! The food here is like nothing I have ever experienced before :) And 90% of the air conditioning units are broken. I don't think I have ever been sweatier or smelled worse in my life haha. I kind of feel like a dog. But in a good way...? I am just sweaty and hot all the time but I am also super happy- like a dog! Anyways moral of the story is it beyond hot here yall. Even so, I don't think I have ever been happier either. I sincerely love it here. 

 

For some reason my whole district except for Elder Funk and I got sick our first week here at the CTM.  😂 Lots of priesthood blessings of healing have been given and lots of prayers as well!  #pleasepraythatIdon'tgetsick

We got to go to the temple twice in this past week!! I WAS SO HAPPY TO BE AT THE TEMPLE! My two favorite places in the whole entire world are the temple and Taco Bell. Unfortunately, I haven't been to the Taco Bell here in São Paulo ... yet. I might break out of the CTM just for some nacho fries. I would do anything to eat some nacho fries right now. But being at the temple reminded me how grateful I am of the covenants I have made in the temple and how lucky I am that families last beyond this life. But most of all this past week I was grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ. It can be a little intimidating to move to a different country and speak a language I don't quite know yet, but even so I know that my Heavenly Father is watching over me and he is helping me overcome whatever may come my way. And I know he is watching over you too. Don't forget to look for the little blessings that he puts in your life every single day! I promise he is involved in the details of your life because he truly cares deeply about you :)
