Olá!!!

Hi everyone!!!!

Nothing really exciting happening here in Brazil!! My day pretty much consists of going to class, eating, going to class, eating, and of course... going to class. Haha!! 

BUT on Saturday we got to go Proselyting!!! (I dont know how to spell that in English) Wow, what an experience that was. We literally only have 3 weeks of portuguese under our belts and we have to go teach people?!! I was beyond scared. Anyway, we all hopped on some vans and were taken to some big streets in São Paulo. We get off the vans and it starts POURING rain. I have never been in rain like that... 30 seconds later my hair was soaked, I'm not even kidding! I look at my two companions (two elders in my district) and we were all like, "lets go!" So off we went in the rain, stepping in puddles and getting drenched, to go find some people to talk to! At first no one would talk to us. They wouldn't even look at us. We walked up and down the streets for 20 min. just saying "Bom dia!!" (Good morning!) and occassionally people would answer. If we were lucky people would smile. 

At this point, I couldn't wait for the next hour and a half to go by. I was so done. Then all of a sudden, I look back at one of my companions and he's talking to a girl about the church! Of course, our vocabulary is very limited so the girl was so sweet to let us try to speak with her. And guess what?? We got her contact information!!! I was so stoked after that. And an hour later we got three more contacts!!! I don't really remember what we said to those people, and I know it wasn't good portuguese, but I hope they could understand the sincerity of our hearts. I pray for those people we found that day everyday. I want people to have the gospel in their lives because the church has CHANGED my life!!! 

I am soooo grateful for this opprotunity to serve God and to represent Jesus Christ! Right now I have just been struggling with the language but I know that through Heavenly Father we can do hard things!!!! You can do hard things! I can do hard things! 

I love you all!!
