CTM Week 5 - I Never, Ever, Ever Want to Leave!

Sis. Little can't send pictures from the MTC, thus the generic pictures.  10 more days and she's out in the field!

I LOVE BRAZIL SO MUCH AND I NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR WANT TO LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (But I also want all of you here, so y'all better start practicing your Português!!) 

One month today. I have been living in the most beautiful, amazing place ever for a month to the day today. I have learned more this month than any other thus far.  I can´t ever begin to be able to express the feelings I get every time I open my window and look out over the city, or remember a new word I learned in Português, or get a hug and a kiss from friends and instructors. I am amazed that I am able to teach lessons with no notes, pull scriptures from my head when a question is asked, and not need to be afraid if the lesson is going to be the one we planned or revolve solely around a question a pesquisador has. The Lord is amazing. The things we are able to do por meio the Atonement (dang nab, English is getting harder. There are just words that say it better from português...)  

I am so in love with this people, and to have the opportunity to share the things that are more dear to me than anything else (and I mean that completely seriously-no exaggeration), really makes me happier than I have ever been in my entire life. (Oh, and mom, when you do send a package, if it´s not to heavy, more than anything, I would love to have my verb book that I forgot. BIG DEAL. Holy smokes, there are a MILLION ways to conjugate a verb! OH! and printed talks...in Português...they only do so much in English. I´d love His Grace is Sufficient, too. Good one. THANK YOU!)

I only have one minute, but my advice for this week is to read your scriptures every day. Pray and talk with your Heavenly Father. He really, really, really loves YOU, and He would be happier than anything to hear about your day. Things as simple as the weather will make Him smile, and you´ll feel it. I promise. 

Oh, and just laugh. Life isn´t easy, but letting the small things make you happy - WAY MORE FUN!!! Trust me!!!

Eu amo vocês!!!!
