Hello everyone!
Well, where do I even begin? I won´t say too much, but I will say that this week was absolutely crazy. My companion and I got sick, some other things happened, and now I have been transferred!! I am really excited to be in a new area with a new companion, especially after being in my first area for 7 1/2 months.
But I have to quickly say that I know the Lord is watching over us and protecting us every day. I can feel this, and work with confidence knowing that we always have angels protecting us.
My trainer, Sister Pozete is going home tomorrow, and she visited our area for a day. It was so wonderful to see everyone and say goodbye. I truly realized that I have a family here and made a lot of close friends. I will miss that area, but excited for a new beginning!
How did I forget? This week I will celebrate 9 months on the mission, HALFWAY DONE!! My goodness, I have been thinking a lot this week about this, and I realized that it passes reallllllly fast. I have learned so much, and experienced so much. Now I have this second half to use it to the fullest! I have been feeling a little sad too, just thinking, `my goodness, what more do I have to do? What more do I have to learn? So much to do and so little time!!` A mission really passes by fast.
So I have a new companion, Sister Mares. (I have a lot of photos, but my cable is in my suitcases.. so next week you´ll have lots to see) She is Brazilian, and doesn’t speak a word of English. This is an answer to my prayers, because talking in English with my last companions was fun, but I started mixing the two languages! So now I will learn how to speak better and really become Brazilian :)
Well, I don’t have too much to say. I love you all and hope you are well. You are in my prayers. Write letters and pray for me!
Love,
Sister Gordon
