Helloooo everyone!!! It's been another amazing week, and I have so
much I want to tell you all about! I swear, this 30 minutes of email
time is the most stressful part of my week. It goes SO fast, and I feel
like I never have enough time to reply to
all of your emails. :P I'm sorry, but know that I really appreciate
all of them and wish I could respond!
This past week I was SICK...gross congestion and a nasty cough and
no happiness involved at all. It made it pretty hard to study and
teach, but I suffered through it and I think I'm almost
completely through it now. Thank goodness. :) There's so much
coming up this next week, so I'm definitely grateful to be healthy
again.
Our first "investigator" is getting baptized today, which we've
been REALLY excited about. It's amazing how much happiness we feel for
an investigator that isn't even real... hard to imagine how much HAPPIER
we'll be when it's a real person accepting
the gospel and changing their lives to come unto Christ!! I'm guessing
we'll be getting a new investigator to teach tomorrow, and the second
one is supposed to be a lot more challenging....but it will be fun, and
I'm looking forward to it.
Today we were able to go to the temple again, and then one of our
teachers, Irmão Mauricio, took us to a churrasco place, a lot like
Tucanos. It was DELICIOUS, and so much fun to get out of the CTM and
try some authentic Brazilian food. Ahh, the food
here is so good. Oh, and Jamie, I've definitely tried the guarana and
grape juice thing. AMAZING. Squeeze a lime in and it's absolutely
perfection. :)
I've definitely been loving my time with the new district. This
last week we played basketball together during gym, and I had a ton of
fun even though I'm definitely not very good. The elders are really
nice and patient with the sisters, so we all have
fun playing together. Oh, and one night all the sisters in our
district had a yoga night...so much fun, and I'm pretty sure that never
would have happened in my last district with all the elders. Sister
Keller and Sister Ellis are the other companionship
of sisters in our district, and I LOVE them so much!!! They're the
funnest, sweetest girls, and we have so much fun together! :) We also
decided to start having "singing lessons" during our study time in the
evening, which is verrry much needed....singing
is not the biggest strength of district 24-B. :) I sat at the piano
and played while Sister Brundage tried to slooowly walk everyone through
a scale. It was so much fun to sit with everyone around the piano,
singing and laughing and just having fun together.
:)
Sister Brundage and I are working on a musical number we want to
perform in a devotional in a few weeks. You know that beeeeautiful
arrangement of "Savior, Redeemer of My Soul" from 17 Miracles? I love
it SO much, and it's so much fun to play, especially
with Sister Brundage's amazing voice singing!
Well everyone, thanks so much for your love and support. It means
so much to me. :) I'll write again next week, and try to answer your
questions more.
I love you ALL so much!!!
Sister Gee
