Minha última semana em Campos.... probably.‏

Yep. If can read portuguese you probably understood that I said that this is probably my last week here in Campos, Rio de Janeiro. I am 99% sure I am being transferred, probably for the last time. Crazy. I am pretty sure I will be returning to Espirito Santo. Whatever happens will be good. Sister Anderson and I are really gonna  go for it this week and leave everything ready for the new sisters that are gonna get here. There are 4 new sisters (brazilians) arriving next week! President said that our mission which currently has 13 sisters will have 30 by the end of the year!!!! Crazy! How cool! President wants to have a zone of just sisters. haha

Speaking of sisters. We had our sisters conference this last week in Vitória. It was SO great. We left here at 2am on Thursday morning and got there around 6am. We were pretty tired and took a little nap until the conference started at 9:30. It was way good and not gonna lie, the lunch we ate might have been the best part. Mmmmm. We took a ton of photos as the sisters always do. We talked about our purpose as missionaries and President talked for a while. It was so good and it really helped me to remember my purpose here and to kinda rededicate myself. I am sure that makes sense to other missionaries. haha Sometimes you get so into the rhythm of things you just need to take a step back, look at you purpose, and kind of start over.

But anyways. I have been thinking about a lot of things lately. Sister Anderson and I are making a lot of goals for this new transfer coming up and I am pretty excited. Sister Peterson goes home next week! NOOO! I have been living with her for the last 6 months and I am gonna miss her so much! Good thing she goes to BYU so i will definitely see her. haha

The baptism last week was postponed because a relative was hospitalized and Rita had to go to another city to be with her. But everything is set for this saturday and everyone is excited! 

We went to the ward council meeting yesterday and they talked about how important communication is. We played one round of telephone just to illustrate the point. The work that started was ``ovo`` (egg) and ended with ``confiança`` (trust). Não tem nada ver! haha I was in the middle and when it passed me I heard ``ho ho ho.`` haha Communication is so important. Especially for leaders in the church. 

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFFY PEFFY! 17, right? CRAZY! I hope you have the best day little guy (I mean, big guy, you are way tall now)!!! Rach, have fun in vegas (I like the cover story ``going to see family`` HA) haha love you so much! I can´t wait for you to experience the greatness that is Brazil! You are gonna fall in love.

I love you all so much and am so grateful for the prayers and support of all of you. A mission is an interesting thing. Not an easy thing. It is fun. It is stressful. It is emotional. It is tiring. It is rewarding. It is a rollercoaster. and it is so short. That is what I am coming to realize more and more. It is so short this time that I have to help people and the time is only getting shorter. It makes me remember that every moment counts and it is not worth it to let fear get in your way of doing your best. 

Love you all. Remember to read your scriptures and say your prayers. Strengthen yourself so you can go strengthen someone else.

Até Março (o melhor mês)
