Missionary fireside; Irmã Eliza finally came to church!

Hello dear family
It has been a good week
It is still rainy and chilly here in Maringá, but they say winter is still yet to arrive
I FINALLY received the box you sent!  Thanks to a little confusion in the mission office, it took a while...but finally made it to Maringá.  I was soooo happy to get it!  You guys are amazing!  FULL of wonderful goodness, and lots of it.  I will be enjoying this for a long, long time.
This week I got to travel to Londrina again, this time to revew my visa.
I travelled there with Sister Bullen (my old roommate from the CTM) and stayed in the house in Aeroporto with 
Sister Cardoso!  
It was a wonderful trip...divertido.  :)  They took my picture, and my fingerprints, and I am officially all set to stay in Brasil 6 more months.  woohoo!
We had our missionary fireside on Saturday...it went well, but not many members showed up.   Maybe 10.  I hope that if the missionaries there decide to do a fireside one day, you ALL will be there.  
But it was good, and there was food afterwards...yum.  :)
Sunday was good, Irmã Eliza finally came to church!  I don't think I've mentioned her yet - we've been teaching her for a while.  She is the SWEETEST little old lady and she is happy ALL the time.  She smiles and laughs at whatever we say...seriously.  I love her, and we were so happy that she came to church.  :)
But yeah, the week was a little bit crazy, but good, and we are happy here...ooh!  Update on our house!  We officially have a house...we have the keys and everything.  It is officially ours, but as we don't have any furniture or anything, I guess we're going to have to wait for the pres. to figure that out.  And with the new president arriving and everything, I have a feeling that our furniture shopping might get put off for a while.  So we probably won't be moving until the next transfer...but still, it's a relief to know that we're at least getting closer.
Aaaanyways, that's all the news from here.  It's great to be on a mission!
I love you guys!
Hope all is well at home.
Don't forget about me.
Please!
:)
Love,
Sister Gee
