I Got My Visa!


Man so this week has been a crazy one for sure!! Sounds like everyone is doing awesome back there! I love hearing about everything going on. You guys all sound super busy!!

So yesterday we had our infield orientation which went all day long but it was way good! Lots of different lessons that I learned a lot from, that will prepare me for when I go out into the field which is next week! The whole morning I was thinking "Okay I need to learn how to teach in english for when I get my reassignment tomorrow"! And then during our lunch break, I actually got my visa!! So crazy!! Way funny because I told all the sisters in our district that I got my visa and none of them believed me because I had told them that like 20 times before! haha! Way funny! So yah I leave the SLC airport at around 2 in the afternoon and fly to Atlanta and than down to Sao Paolo!! Definitely a fun experience for sure! Then the rest of the day I was thinking "Okay, now I have to learn how to teach in portuguese!"  haha! Super good day though, yesterday. Man I am so excited. Straight into the field in Brazil!! The rest of my district got their reassignments today, which is also way exciting! My companion got his to Atlanta! There are a couple going to California and West Virginia.  Three are going to Pocatello, Idaho and one to Michigan! It's all super cool. Everyone is way pumped and just excited to serve next week! Way cool! Make sure you have your phone on you all day because I don't know when I'll have time to call. I guess it will be before my flight in Salt Lake or when I have a layover in Atlanta. Just stay on your toes! I definitely feel like they held my visa so that I could learn the things that I needed to hear and learn at the Provo MTC!  This last week I learned so much and felt like it was exactly what I needed to hear! Way cool and now I'm ready to get to Brazil!! ( If you can't sense my excitement, then you should probably put your glasses on or something!) haha.

So yah that was pretty much the highlight of my week right there! I've been a little sick the last couple days which has been a bummer, but I guess my body knew I was going to Brazil and was just preparing me! It was super fun to see Brother Rasmussen here! After he talked to me he saw a sister in my district who he knew and he started telling her how awesome our family is and he was remembering how we have a birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas! Funny what people remember!! You are all pretty awesome, I will agree!!
Well I am so excited to be able to serve in Brazil and super excited to start teaching! I know this church is true with all my heart and am so excited to bless the lives of others with this message! Thanks for all the love and support!! I'll be calling you on Monday! Way excited!!
love
