A Magical Chance to see Josh

Oh my goodness it was so good to see Josh!!! So I was sitting in class and we were studying and then my name came over the intercome. I was freaking out as I went to the secretary I was thinking the whole time that maybe my visa was failing or maybe I broke one of the million mtc rules!! Hahah but then I got there and this guy came up to me and was like your brother who got home from his mission will be here at 11:30. I think I freaked the guy out cause I just started crying!!! I was so happy!! I made my whole week! Then the minute I saw Josh I was crying!! ha he went to give me a hand shake trying to be so obediente and I was like no way I am giving you a hug!!!!! It was so nice to see him!! He has grown so much! I am so glad that I was able to see and hear some of his mission stories!! I know that he was an amazing missionary and he is such a great example to me! Watch out BYUI girls because here come Josh Hickey!! :)!!! I love you Josh!!!! Send me his talk I would love to read it!!! :) I am sure he did an amazing job at that!   Also mom hahah sorry I realized how bad that outfit looked after I took a picture! It looks like I am pregnate but I promise it is my postger hahah I have not gained a food baby from the mtc yet!!! hahha I told my companions you would say something about my shirt! hahah :)

 

MTC Week Recap

So This week was great!! :)

Sacrament Meeting 

K I just want to tell you about our sundays first. Haha so each week everyone has to prepare a talk in portuguese and no one knows who will be giving one...until they annouce it in sacrament meeting. Haha it feels like the hunger games when they are calling out who is going to talk. Seriously it is the scariest thing ever!! Someone from our district had to speak this week! Ahh it is so scary!!!

 

Fooood

Also It is fun to see people from foriegn countrys here. Ha in the cafeteria they pile there food on!!! There plates tower with food! Hah and its crazy how much people eat! People really need to learn portion control! 

 

Teaching

Also we taught in TRC this week in portuguese... the girl was completely fluent! It was really scary! My companion started crying after because she forgot her lines. She actually is super stressed about the language!! She freaks out! She has never had any language experience! But I feel like she is doing great! When I see that her eyes start tearing up I hurry and try to make her laugh!! I almost started crying because I couldnt understand the difference between por and para they mean "for" but are used differently in different situations. I was so sad cause everyone else understood it. But I decided that I wasnt going to cry and that I was going to have more faith and that it wasnt worth crying over two silly portugues words hahahha :)

 

Also we taught our English and Portugues investigators this week! Adore is getting baptized :) hahah!! Helder is the portugues one and I love teaching him! Ha we have to help him stop drinking!!! :) I love teaching him! I feel like me and my companion are getting better at teaching!! But its still hard sometimes cause she has a set way that she wants to do it and I want to do it a different way hahah but we comprimise! Ha being with someone for so long is crazy!! Ha!!!

 

Also we are getting new teachers :( I love our portuguese teacher!! He was my favorite and spoke it so well and was so nice! He also served in portugual. We will now have two portuguese teachers which is good! One of them is brazilian portuguese though...

 

Also this week we learned about door approaches... hahah I thought about when me and caroline went and sold bagels door to door! :)

 

The Book of Mormon

ALso I LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON!!!! I love reading it! When things are hard... READ THE BOOK OF MORMON! When things are great... read the book of mormon. When you are sad read the book of mormon. When you are confused... read the book of mormon. When it is busy read the book of mormon :) I love the book of mormon! Will you all please read it? Everyday!!! It has such a power and will help you with anything you need!!!! Our whole zone has to finnish it from the start before we leave... I am trying hard! I am a little behind but I am going to do it!!!
