The weekly email is real short today- running real low on reading and responding time

So I will just say A really quick thing.

Coming on the mission... I have gotten closer to God than ever before. I feel His love in every part of my life. It seems as if the more I learn about Him from the scriptures, the more I take time thinking about Him, His will, and His children. The more I find that I cannot express my gratitude. We are here to be HAPPY! to have joy! to Become like Him! and one day return to Him. He has promised us all He has through his Son. He is my Best Friend. My Spiritual Father. My confidant.

This work fills my soul with so much joy that I just want to burst. I love all of the wonderful people I have met, I love the Campinas temple!!!

I feel like I have spent two years here already. It is rapidly becoming home. I am able to understand portuguese as long as people speak slow, and act the whole thing out. haha I am not worried though. I am doing my best- and I Know God will make up the rest.

I have absolute trust in Him.

ALL MY LOVE AND ADORATION FROM BRAZIL!

From the Provo MTC, but the picture just came today!
