My second transfer is officially
over. Weird. I will be transferred!! I don't know where yet, but
according to Sister Wegener, I will probably be headed to a place called
Campus Norte with another American companion named Sister Grant. I will
let you know when I find out for sure! To tell you the truth, I am a
little nervous. It kind of feels like my first day again.....I was
starting to feel comfortable here. Ha I should have known that the Lord
would kick me out of my comfort zone! It is how we progress, I guess!
The Portuguese is coming along more and more
everyday. I still struggle to really express myself profoundly, but I
can express almost everything I want to in simple and basic and choppy
terms. The flowering and fluidity of my speech will come along. Haha I
am learning patience for sure.
We have some really good investigators right
now.....many of which will be baptized! I won't be here for the baptisms
of course, but I feel honored to have been a part in their conversion!
Ahh!! There really are so many people in this world that are searching
for the truth! They are only kept from it because they know not where to
find it! It is a privilege to help people find it!
I heard from my companion in the MTC, Sister Zeller,
the other day! She arrived in Brazil about a week ago! Glad she finally
made it!
I will tell you a little bit more about Brazil I guess!
They take holidays really seriously here. When there
is a holiday....EVERY store is closed and the streets are deserted!
Tumbleweeds. Creepy.
I take hot showers here.
It is really annoying coming into fall now. It is cold in
the morning....hot during the afternoon.....and cold in the evening. It
makes deciding what to wear a pain.
I. Hate.
Dogs. Everyone and their dog (hahaha) has a dog. Twelve dogs. And they
are annoying. And they bark non-stop. And I don't see why people here
like having twelve annoying, barking dogs.
Well, time is all but out. I love you all. I know
this is the true church of Jesus Christ. I know families are forever.
Press forward in Faith!
Sister Autumn Barnes
