Atibaaaaaaiaaaaa!

We are seeing miracles in our area. Truly the Lord´s work is on fire.
I feel so humbled to be used as an instrument in his hands.
 
oh! p-days will be changed to Mondays next transfer... so in about two weeks!
 
I finally tried Açai. It´s a fruit that can be eaten in about a million different ways because it doesn´t have flavor really, but it´s incredibly healthy and fattening. There are cities here in Brasil that live off it. Literally.
But here in Campinas it´s used as type of smoothie/ice cream with other fruit and sweetened condensed milk (which is one of God´s best creations) and granola. I never tried it because it sounds gross to me and I am stubborn. BUT! I finally did and I loooove it! But now I am sad because it doesn´t exist in the states and I will miss it for the majority of my life.
Long distance relationships are hard.
 
Also, i´m learning a lot about people. As missionaries we are here to help people work through their problems by teaching them the gospel and helping them to truely understand Christ´s sacrifice. But as missionaries we are very young usually inexperienced with the problems our investigators have. We need to listen to the spirit and we need to pay attention to them. And because of this I´m learning to see signs and read people. Not in a weird, creepy way but in a spiritual way.
The things we learn on our missions are a lot more than I expected. Or in life in general I´ve decided.
 
I love you all! Have a great week!
