Hoje eu sou feliz! Muitas pessoas ajudam me com minha
missão! Lot´s of people are helping me in my mission, than I can even imagine!
We have had some rough times this week and everyday flies by soooooo fast! I´m
really just loving learning Portuguese and teaching about how families can be
together for the eternities! Next week, I´m out of the CTM and into Belem! I´m
so jacked to head out and start fresh with a Brasilero who doesn´t speak a lick
of English! It´s really going to make me put in the work needed to communicate
daily and not just during a lesson!
So I think I´ll start with the bad. We had a really rough
week for me and my companion. Shots were fired and I was just itching for the
final week so I could just get up and leave. When I think about it, there were
a lot of things that were affecting our relationship. Sickness being one of
them, which he still denies he did not start, (though we all had the same
sickness in the ENTIRE DISTRICT). We had the failed tasks of not reaching our
companionship goals and it seemed like all hope was lost. That´s when something
really changed in me that I don´t want to forget.
I was thinking how I could better our relationship, when I
started realizing every small thing I did, affected my companion. Every time i
didn´t compliment him, he didn´t feel like he had accomplished anything, and
was less likely to do it again. I realized I had been tracking his negatives
instead of positives. After I noticed this, I felt so much more love for him
because, I could see how much the mission was weighing on him and that I wasn´t
lifting his burden. I was lifted up in the Pride of my heart and was about to
be brought down.
This might not seem that great, but we had a roast where
every missionary got to tell each other missionary in our district something
they needed to change. I got lit up, and noticed some of the things I needed to
do to be humbled and it changed the district in a good way.
Sorry I can´t talk more the prison officer is telling me to
get off email!
