Week
62 (01/27/20) Only 4 Months Left !!! 😊
Hey
Family,
This last week has been very challenging, it is hard to know what to say when
this week just seems to drag on.
When I made the decision to serve my Heavenly Father in Brasil, I understood and accepted that I would have many obstacles placed before me. But I knew that If I studied, worked hard, obeyed the mission rules, prayed and served others that I would find the strength press on and continue to the end.
As Dad would say "I'm not going to sugar coat it", but the last few weeks have been very hard with my new companion. It is difficult to be around someone who doesn't want to work, disobedient to mission rules, and always complaining. To be honest, I don't feel that I have the energy to deal with it anymore.
We had exchanges this past week and truthfully it was the break that I needed. I feel like i'm fresh out of ideas, and out of patience. Probably because I'm old, I made 14 months in the mission this past week. Normally we do something cool, but she forgot and no one did anything, but it's ok.
Last Monday we had family home evening with a family that we are teaching and with an awesome family in our ward. The names of the members are the Santos Family. I don’t remember the name of the dad, but the mom’s name is Luciana, the sons name is Naama & he served his mission in Argentina and returned two years ago. The family we are teaching Joao Paulo, Ana Paula, Riquelme, Sarah, and the baby Victoria. It was super awesome that we taught them about eternal families and temples!!
I think that sums it up for this week, hope you all have an amazing week. Before I go, I wanted to share with you some scriptures that I liked when I was reading this morning in:
2 Timothy 4:7
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith”
James 2:26
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also”
With love from Brasil,

I’m sorry that this is dragging you down. Just be glad she is not your ETERNAL companion! Maybe this is a teaching moment so you can learn what’s important to you in a relationship.
