December 9th

Well this past week was better than the first. The language is getting better, which is good. We met a girl named Helen last week. She is 18, and is a 7th day adventist. She is so nice & wayyy receptive. She came to church for the first time yesterday & gets baptized next Sunday which is exciting. We have three other potential baptisms. I'm still really not that good at speaking, but I'm understanding a lot more. I have noticed this past week how much Heavenly Father loves me. I'm really starting to like Brazil, it's definitely different but good. I'm trying to just work hard and stay focused so there's blessings that come from that. We are moving houses next week which is exciting because our house is infested with termites. There everywhere, it's so disgusting haha I don't even want to know how many crawl on me at night. We had stake conference yesterday, & our mission president spoke. He gave a great talk, well from what I could understand:) things are definitely not easy, but I can feel Heavenly Father's love for me & I know that he helping me to become the person/missionary he wants me to be. Slowly but surely things are getting better. I know that I will eventually come to love this mission as much as I loved Reno. Thanks for all the prayers, I know that they are being answered and are a huge help.
