MTC investigators

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.
