This week, so many things happened that it feels like a month since I emailed everyone. first of all, 2018 started, the Lord´s prophet went home, I did a division in Eden, my other area, we cleaned a recent convert´s house so he could move in, we found some new people to teach, sister Gonçalves finished her mission, other friends finished their missions, I have a new companion that actually came last week and we were in trio until Gonçalves left yesterday…. yeah. I’m kinda exhausted. 

But anyway, transfers happened again, and I’ll be staying in Trujillo (probably for the rest of my mission) with sister costa from Portugal. She´s cool, we´re gonna have a blast. And now I have to train my comp on how to be a sister training leader even though I’ve only been one for a little over a month and I don´t know anything and I’ll probably die but that´s okay. I’m grateful for the members here that are so loving and willing to help. I’ll for sure need to lean on them a bit this transfer. I also have like 4 moms here so that´s fun. All I know is that I’ll probably have white hair when I get back. And not just because the sun bleached it. 

But I am excited (and nervous) for this New Year; I have no idea what will happen. It´s really weird when your mission friends finish their missions and you´re left alone with the greenies haha. You get a bit trunky but also you put the mission into perspective and realize that your time is coming to a close and so you work even harder. I made a promise with the Lord that these last two transfers of my mission will be the most consecrated transfers of my life. I’m going to be more obedient, more loving, more Christ like. I’m gonna give it all. 

Sometimes it´s hard for me to keep focused. Sometimes I get stressed and forget why I’m here and what I’m teaching. But then I have a self-evaluation and I set goals to get better. Then I study harder, bear my testimony more, think less about myself, and it gets better. 

I am so grateful that I could be here preaching the gospel. I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and I know that they love me. I know that if we do our best and strive to progress, God will take care of the rest. (“all of this is true… because it rhymes´´)

boa semana e novo ano!!!!

I’m sorry that there are no pics idk what´s happening with my card but I’ll get it fixed soon.
