Alrighty! So
all the Brasil-headed missionaries are in a frenzy here! Our visas have
been on hold for so long, but now there has been a dramatic number that
has been accepted! Everyone wants to know who got there's and even if
it is you!... there's hope!!! I have mixed feelings about it. I think
it would be really cool to be called somewhere in the states first, but
the Lord needs me where he needs me so I'll be happy with whatever
happens with my visa. :D Plus I absolutely love my companion and
district right now and I can't imagine having gone through these last 5
weeks without them. I know that my visa was delayed for this purpose.
My mom asked
me how we get investigators here in the MTC. Did I ever mention Hugo?
Hugo was our first investigator and we created a wonderful bond with
him. We had our doubts that he was real, but we bonded so well and
created such a relationship that we truely believed. After our 3rd
lesson though, we found out he was one of our professors. I cried. Now
I know that seems a little dramatic, but missionary work is hard.
Portuguese is hard. And the spirit is strong.
Even though
Hugo wasn't real as we knew him (he was portraying a real person), I
will always remember him as my first investigator.
Now with that
said... we have 3 professors in total. And each companionship teaches
two of them as someone different and then we teach eachother as well.
So at the moment we have 4 investigators. And we play the roles as
seriously as we can. It's an incredible experience and amazing how the
spirit helps us to differentiate between who they are in real life to
who they are as investigators during the lessons. One of our
investigators has a wife too, so we teach her sometimes! It's fun to
teach a female!
Okay! I need to go! My time is up! I will have more stories next week!
Remember that I love you all! But the Lord loves you more in a way that I can't even comprehend.
