If you ever get the chance to go to Brasil, I would highly recommend taking it!
Yesterday
I had a a Brazilian companion for a few hours, where we got to teach
and be taught. Sister Santos is my companion this week and she is so
good at teaching the gospel! We taught about the Restoration, and I was
able to read the First Vision in Portuguese. The spirit was SO strong,
even though my Portuguese is not very good and it is not quite
memorized. Heavenly Father knows how hard I am trying, and He is
blessing me for my efforts dailey.
On Sunday
we had a devotional by a mission president serving in Sao Paulo and
holy cow. He talked about the Holy Ghost and I never head a talk more
perfectly applicable to me. We need to act on the good thought/
promptings we receive. The first whispering, telling you to serve others
etc, is from the Spirit. The second whispering (doubt, dismissal,
talking yourself out of it) is from Satan. Always listen to the first,
still, small voice! Always act on the good thought/feelings you receive.
Even if you don~t know hwy, even if it takes you out of your comfort
zone so FAÇA!!!!
I just got back from the
temple and there is literally graffiti everywhere! It is super
impressive the various buildings and hights that people are able to
graffiti. Plus they are some super impressive ones! There are also loads
of crazy cool trees every where and buildings (talking gigantic
buildings) everywhere! Google Sao Paulo, I love it an awful lot! I think
it is one of the most populated places in the world:! But I could
definitely be wrong.
We went to the police
station last week for some visa things and I ended up standing by a nice
lady! So she tried talking to me and I could not really understand her,
but I felt God~s love for her. I wanted so badly to answer her
questions and communicate effectively, but I did the best that I could.
And that is all Heavenly Father asks of us! So there is no need to get
frustrated or mad over things that you can not control.
There
are so many people tat the CTM that look like Brazilian versions from
people at home. It is the weirdest thing, but definitely a tender mercy.
Plus there are literally 4 sets of gênomes (twins)!!!! A ton of my
Brazilian friends left to the mission field yesterday, and it just goes
to show that I wont actually be at the CTM for the rest of my life. Lol.
Launche, the best part of my night. They bring us little like bed time snacks at 9 pm
with either crackers, granola like bars, and chocolate turtles with
juice boxes!! It is almost ridiculous how excited my district gets over
those bags of heaven. It really is the small things that make all the
difference!!
I love you all, and I am so
thankful for all your thoughts and prayers. I am so privileged to be
where I am and to feel the spirit so strongly every day!!
Much love,
Sister Albertoni
