In my dreams I can´t speak English and I can´t remember the last transfer of my mission (bc it hasn´t happened! Haha! My poor confused mind! XD)

 I was sick this week, but it all worked out! Prayers and cold medicine from the members and we worked and I survived! I´m all good again! (yeah...using a blanket in Brasil summer weather...that´s not normal...haha!)

The fire is me doing a therapy session for my comp. Burning distractions and stress...always works!

 

The pics of the group and stuff was our zone meeting of fire!! We are SUPER EXCITED and MIRACLES WILL HAPPEN THIS MONTH!!! Pray for our faith  and the 30 baptism that will happen in our zone!!  We were having 4 per month for a year, now we had 10 then 12 then 13. We´re working like crazy, and I´m SO STINKING EXCITED!!!! 

Beautiful lights at night! Still my favorite thing!!!

 

Happy Birthday, Mom! Thank you for everything that you do for me!! You are me very, very best friend and my example in everything!!! I actually cried last night thinking about how badly I want to be like you. You are fun, spontaneous, you have the most amazing perspective, you know how to balance things, you are patient, kind, thoughtful, so spiritual. You help everyone in your way, and you are so selfless! I am constantly amazed by your goodness and trust in the Lord. Thank you for everything you have taught me and teach me. Like Nephi I can testify that I was born, and raised, and loved, and nurtured, taught and tutored, corrected, and supported by good parents. Thanks for making these the best 20 years and 9 months of my life up until now!! You´re the best mommy the world has ever known!!! I love you to the moon and back!!!!  

 

I loved he pics of Isaac and his date, she´s super cute and has a light. I also LOVED her skirt extender!!! CONGRATS little miss!!! 

MAYA IS IN YW!?!?!?!?!?! I´m pretty sure she had 4 years when I babysat her?!?!?!? WHAT!?!?!? I can imagine how amazing she is- she was always special. And yes, I´m planning on hanging out with y'all in YW when I come back!!!! For sure! 

Cam is amazing!!!! He´s so much better prepared that I was! I´m still just amazed at  him! I sent him a package last week. Did you hear if he got it?

 

I´m seeing more than EVER in my life ALL OF MY WEAKNESSES!!!!!! I heard that stuff like this happened at the end, but wow! I´m noticing everything that keeps me from being who I want to be, and I feel like I have so little time to change before I come home. It´s funny, bc I know that I can still and WILL change when I come back, but there´s this voice in my head that says that all of the changes have to happen NOW while I´m here. I received a wonderful email today from Irmã Tamiris (remember her- my angel from the CTM) talking about his. It helped a lot because she talked about the things that help make the transition. God doesn´t stop loving you- He is going to keep healing me after. I don´t want to stop progressing or lose this Spirit. She talked about goals and the help that the Lord will always give us. 

 

I was going to wait until the last few days to make my goals, but I think I might start writing down a few things and thinking of them, so that they can be well formed. 

 I'm feeling both sad and excited about coming home.  I always cry in my dreams, but that´s okay. It´s because in my dreams I can´t speak English and I can´t remember the last transfer of my mission (bc it hasn´t happened! Haha! My poor confused mind! XD)  Thanks for making home a place that I can be excited to come back to!

 

I have to go now, but I love you so much, and have the best birthday ever!!!!!! I love you more than açaí on a hot Brazilian summer day!!!
