A glimpse at the everyday details



YES!!!! I got the packages this week! I LOVE THE SHIRT and everything!!!!! The M&M´s were SO GOOD I CAN´T EVEN TELL YOU (and sadly gone bc Sister Bastos loves cookies de M&M, so I made some, and now they´re gone. Haha! Too good! Funny thing, Sister Bastos is JUST LIKE CAMERON when it comes to surprises, so she already opened BOTH the presents you sent for Christmas. The necklaces are BEAUTIFUL, Mom!!! And Sister Bastos pretty much screamed when she opened the pens. She has been using them everyday with EXTRAORDINARY care! She said that you read her mind. She can´t stop talking about how amazing you are, and your generosity, and good heart, and EVERYTHING! She loves you to pieces!!! (But still not as much as me! ;D)


This is steak....ha...ha..haha...hahaha....*começa saudades do churrasco do sul!!!!!* [commence longing for Southern Barbecue!]

 American pancakes and Sister Hay´s fantastic, amazing, wonderful, incredible syrup!!(EVERYONE loved them!!! Congrats, Sister Hay! ;D)

 PacMan... just 'cause!



I made myself a notebook for recipes! Woohoo!!!


This is me writing in my journal by candlelight one night during a storm that cut the power. This was the beaautiful part...the part of sweating, sweating, sweeeeeaaating and NOT sleeping until the power came back at 4:30 in the morning because it was SO UNBEARABLY HOT without our fans was the less beautiful part....but the candlelight is still beautiful!!!

 
Finally, after 6 years of always being there in the exact minute I needed him, my right-hand man died this morning (haha...that was funny...)......through Philmont, early morning seminary, cross country, college, rain, sunshine, snow, more sunshine, lots of heat, and more heat ], and lots of heat, and superglue to fix the breaks, and rubber bands, and more superglue (and probably more super glue), and everyday from the start of my mission, he finally passed away this morning (unfortunately it wasn´t peaceful either.....seizures of numbers and beeping after having fog under his glass all week...) So, now I´ll be headed to the shingy-lingy to find a replacement ..... sleep well, my watch...you´ve been a good friend.
