Final P-Day!

Alright! So I got to have a surprise P-Day! We leave on Monday so... they're giving us a P-Day today to quickly do laundry and pack.

ugh.... so much to pack. we have a long night ahead of us.

 Alright: so a brief overview of this week! Tuesday: oooh... yeah I know that was anti-clamatic. We all thought it was gonna be broadcasted!! In fact, it was going to be because one of the brethren were scheduled to come and speak to us!! But he ended up doing something else and one of the 70 came to speak. Which, by the way, was so awesome. It's kind of sad that it was gonna be our last Tuesday night devotional.... but tudo bem because we are so PUMPED FOR THE FIELD!

 Thursday: Everyone needs to get Preach My Gospel! It's so amazing. How much more incredible understanding of this work would spread , if all members could partake of this goodness!!

In field orientation was on Thursday. it was awesome. And i am so grateful that I've had 6 weeks here to be learning doctrine! Not just language. And I truly feel prepared! So happy!

Saturday 11/8...today: OH! We said goodbye to our teachers today... such a strong spirit in that room!! And so many tears were shed! Everything I know about how to be a missionary and about Portuguese is from these two amazing men! I love them. And I miss them terribly already. If I could shove Irmao Read's fantastic knowledge of the scriptures in my brain, and then take Irmao Belchior's pumped-up spirit with me--I think I could make it through my mission! But alas... I'll take their beautiful testimonies and encouraging words with me!

love you all! have great weeks! I'm not sure if you'll all be hearing from me next week... or possibly the week after that... depending on how P-Days are working and how my flight plans and all that line up.... it's gonna be a long and kind of really weird week
