My new area, Aeroporto is great! more of the big-city feel; In a trio - My companions have been a lot of fun so far; Sisteres Treinadores Lideres

Okay, so first of all, sorry for the scare last week - the interview was no big deal, just one of the routine interviews we have every three months.  We weren't expecting it because President Tavares switched our interview slot last second, so it was a surprise for us!  But nothing to worry about, I'm still in the same area with the same companions.  :)  
So let's see....I hate when I miss writing a week, because then I have sooo much more to talk about in my email and I don't know where to start!  :P  But my new area, Aeroporto is great.  I've been having a lot of fun getting to know the members the last two weeks, they are awesome, and it is SO GOOD to be in a real live ward again!  :)  The bishop is great, we have an awesome ward mission leader, and the lunches have all been delicious so far.  It's been good.  
The work in this area is a little different than in Ibiporã.  There is definitely a little bit more of the big-city feel, and the people here are a lot busier and less receptive.  We get a looot more "no"s when doing street contacts.  :P  But it's all good, and despite the differences, we're seeing so many blessings here!  The eleitos are crawling out of the woodwork everywhere we look.  :)  We had a baptism yesterday, an awesome young man named Felipe.  He is 21 years old and a friend of a member of the ward here, which is how the sisters first met him.  He has been excited about his baptism since the first time he talked with the sisters a few weeks ago!  :)  So I got to help teach him the last few lessons he needed to receive and finish preparing everything for his baptism.  It was great. :)
My companions have been a lot of fun so far.   Being in a trio is different, very different, but I think we're all figuring it out.  Like I mentioned in my email last week, Sister Barros is CRAZY and we are always laughing together.  It is not always easy to be in a trio, but she is veryy good at balancing everything out when the three of us are not on the same page.  I don't know what I'd do without her.  :)  
More exciting updates from this transfer:  there is a new calling in the Brazil Londrina Mission!  Sisteres Treinadores Lideres!  Or something like that, haha, it's a complicated title, but to explain everything more simply - We get to do divisions between sisters now!  So I think 8-ish sisters were called to be Sisteres Treinadores Lideres, meaning that they will do divisions with every area of sisters once a transfer.  Here in Aeroporto we got to host the sisteres lideres this week and they worked with us in our area a little bit.  I think the plan is for us to go to their area, Assis, São Paulo, next week to do another division and learn from the way they work in their area.  It's exciting and new and awesome!  I always wanted to be able to do divisions and get to know/learn from the other sisters in the mission, so I'm excited.
Okay, so I know this email is SHORT, but I'm once again running out of time.  But I love you all so much!  I can't wait to talk with you guys on Sunday!!!  :D
Love,
Sister Gee
