Tuesday- I left Cuiabá at 7pm
and had a 11 hour bus ride! On the bus I had a companion whose name I cannot
spell but I told you about her last night...she is really sweet even though I
can't really understand her. Oh super cool part is while we were on the bus we
passed though like a deserted area (like just fields of grass and trees) and
because there was no lights around there were SO many stars!! It was the coolest
thing ever!! I LOVED it!!! It was soooo pretty!! I wish I could have taken a
picture but it was too dark for a camera. Maybe Dad's camera would work but not
mine. :(
Wednesday- I arrived in Campo
Grande and met Sister Luca and Sister Carvalho(<--portuguese for oak! haha).
Sister C knows some english so she helps me when I really just cannot understand
and tells me what food is what sometimes...mostly the english name for
fruits...and we always have lunch with them too so thats good for me. So they
picked us up and we rode the bus home and unpacked a bit and went tracting. The
other sisters are new to the area too so we need new investigators.
Thursday- Nothing exciting happened. Lots of walking...oh but we got
3 new investigators! So thats cool!! ;)
Friday- We got another investigator and it was really cool because
she stopped us while we were walking down the road and told us that other
missionaried gave her daughter the restoration pamphlet and she thought it was
cool so we taught her the first lesson and I helped teach!! Woo hoo!! And I got
to recite the 1st vision!! It was awesome!! :)
Saturday- It was kinda an off day and we didn't really get much
people but we were walking and I saw this old lady bent over scraping up leaves
with her hands and we walked past but I had this strong feeling I needed to
offer to help her, like really though, two healthy young women can't just walk
by like that..especially when they are sister missionaries! So I went back and
offered to help but she turned me down and we started talking and turns out her
son or grandson (can't remember) is a member and he was there so we talked with
him and turns out he isn't active anymore and has made some bad decisions and so
sister luca talked to him about coming back to church adn repentance and such,
it was cool!
Sunday- Church! I bore my testimony again because the Bispo asked me
to. Then after that we had lunch with a member and her daughter (there is a
picture of us) then we went to the Bispo's house and I SAW YOU!!! <3
We have now come full circle!! ;) Haha!!

Emma was able to Skype us for Mother's Day! What a wonderful, amazing Mother's Day gift!! We had told her that we were not getting enough information from her about her area or companion, so this is what she sent us. Sure love that kid!!
