Happy New Year Everyone!

Happy New Year to everyone!!!

Soo... I was transferred... Which was really hard, but really good at the same time.
I am now in Santana which is actually IN  Campinas! So that´s cool... I´m serving in the name of my mission :)
The temple is about 20 minutes away and the Temple President likes to have Sisters there every Saturday to talk with people so my campanions and I are in the area that they´ve asked to fulfill the responsibility. It´s awesome :D
So what happened during transfers is this:
Sister Pederson and I were companions in the MTC... You know waaaaayyy back when.
Her and I this past transfer were companions with Sister Cabral and Sister Marins who arrived that transfer and who were companions in the MTC as well.
So Sister Pederson and Sister Marins and Sister Lengenfelder were together in Santana.
And Sister Cabral and I were together in Atibaia.
Then transfers came around.
Now... 
Sister Pederson and Sister Cabral are together in Atibaia.
And Sister Marins, Sister Lengenfelder and I are together in Santana. 
Yep :) So she´s finishing the training of my daughter and I´m finishing the training of her daughters. hahaha
families on the mission are complicated ;)

But I love it! It was exactly what needed to happen :)

Oh...so to explain. Sister Lengenfelder is what we call a "curto prazo" (short time missionary)
She had vacation from school and wanted to serve a mission so her stake president talked to our mission president and she´s serving here for us for 1 transfer.
A short time missionary can serve up to 6 months.  They help out a lot especially when we´re short on missionaries to keep areas open.  In our case she´s here with us in a trio because we have an odd amount of sisters but we have a sister that will go home early because of college and she will become the companion of that companion for the last week of the transfer. Or she will just stay with us. But its an opportunity for her to serve for a little time. :)

I hope you enjoy the pictures! :D
Love you!
 
Last moments with Sister Cabral :(

Me and my 2 new companions on our way to my new area!  Yes... we are in a slug bug :D

We like to travel in style.

Every Saturday we work at the temple :D  This is us with Irmã Vera (president of the relief society)

My companions close up. Sister Marins arrived with Sister Cabral :) And Sister Lengenfelder is here for one transfer to help out. :)
Goodbye to my little nephew Lucas :´(
