July 1, 2013

Hi Mom,
Well, lets just go with this week was discouraging and happy all at the same time. We went on two divisions (tuesday and wednesday) and wednesday night President put us in trio. And we´ve been in a trio all week. I haven´t been in a trio since the CTM, its fun to be in three but so hard to work. And Sister Carniero and I were already two days behind working in our area, it was a rough week.

But the cool part is for Dad. I believe you know my new ´companion´s´ dad. You both served in the same mission and are the same age. Earl? She is going back to the states for a little while to get medicine and then she´ll be coming back to the mission. You have no idea how this mission has sisters returning home. Every week!

Here in the Rio Grande do Sul, the big day is not the same as the rest of Brasil. Its the 7th of September. (or 20th) I don´t remember.

I can´t believe you stayed in a 4 star hotel, and saw Lauren, went to the beach!!! My goodness sometimes the Lord tests our faith haha

Well don´t have many stories this week. Oh yes I do. On Wednesday when we went to pick up our new companion and go on splits with another companionship. We stayed almost the entire day in the car with President and Sister Wright. I love them, they are wonderful examples. We joked around, we talked in depth about prayer. How is it that something so simple we still can´t understand and do correctly? The Lord is so patient. It was special for Sister Carneiro and I to have that time with them. You can´t help but learn from them.

Well love you!!! Miss you tons and tons
Carissa
