TUDO BEM!!

Brazil CTM District

Triplet Companionship

Brazil CTM

Hey all!! Just so you know I only have 50 minutes to email each week in the CTM so sorry if I dont respond to you personally, know that I love you and I love reading your emails!!

Im not even sure what to say theres just so much that has happened! So the 8 people that were on the plane to Brasil with me are the only Americans that came to the ctm that day, so we are a district. Im in a trio with Sister Belnap and Sister Blanscett, which can be hard at times but I love them! once a trio always a trio I guess haha!! Elder Ethan Burbidge from institute is in my district too so thats fun.

My first 3 hours in the ctm were the most overwhelming 3 hours of my entire life. They just hit me with all this info that was hard to understand because the instructors dont speak the best english. we checked in and got our nametags and emailed home and took pictures and did passport and immunizations stuff and got a quick rundown of stuff and then they sent us off to lunch by ourselves andi didnt have time to comprehend what was going on haha. BUT God is so good and on the way down to the cafetiria i saw sister rachel vuyk from home and i basically just ran into her arms and cried cuz you know, emotions. she made me feel so much better. then i went off and had my first round of rice and beans and it was awesome. Also Elder Soren Selph from home is here too, and he's thriving! haha, he hypes me up when im in my sala de aula with my district.

on Sunday I was called with my comps as sister training leaders for my zone!! Nansi was right, but i wasn't expecting that to happen on my 5th day in Brasil haha.

yesterday I taught my first lessons to our investigators in Portuguese, and it wasn't too bad. Tomorrow for pday i get to go to the temple too and im so excited!! i have to get up at 5:30 though so im not too excited about that part. 

I met another triplet here, his name is Ilder Ames. his brother left the ctm a couple of weeks ago and his sister is at college. that was exciting!

oh, i did laundry yesterday and had to hand wash one of my dresses, so shout out to mission prep and Bro Moyes for preparing me for my mission haha!

This morning in my sala de aula elder Whelan in my district found a cockroach just chilling in his book bag so that was a great way to start off the day.

I love you all and I love being in Brasil!! Im so grateful for all of you.

I know that heavenly father loves us and the gospel is true. stay safe everyone!!

the flight was meh. i got to sit next to sister belnap on the way to brazil though so that was really nice to get to know her because we are companions now and i lover her a ton. yeah there were 3 other missionaries at the gate and they are all in my district. I have 2 companions actually, which is hard. LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANKS FOR EVERYTHING
