Eu sou Brasilhetta
So this was a good week full of
ups and downs. Mom, I wrote a long letter with detail so I’ll send that to you
when I go to the cookie store in a few hours.
I want everyone right here and
now to stop thinking about themselves and their feelings and their worries and
do something for the Lord. Do not ever worry about me or fret or involve me in
anymore of your worries please. I AM IN THE LORD’S HANDS. He puts all of his
trust in me to spread His love and His gospel, and I give Him the same trust
back. So you should too. And for the sake that I want and need to strive to be
exactly obedient, please don’t inform me of worldly things going on because I
am fully focused on the work of the Lord and salvation of others. OF COURSE I
WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT YOUR LIVES THOUGH!!!!! So that stuff is fine :) This
email is going to be a short one, but I just want you to all know that I love
you. I have been blessed with a beautifully spirited family and I will always
remember that. Sometimes remembering that is the only thing pushing me into the
next day.
I’ve struggled this week with
understand why and have to push myself to knowing that I have to accept things.
We went proselyting Wednesday and each handed out 3 Book of Mormons. It was an
adventure and an experience for sure.
We finally took public
transportation. The buses are skinny and tall, like the Harry Potter trolley
and the driving here is 89 times crazier than Cali and Idaho combined. My
language is coming along pretty fine for this to be my 4th week here. My tan is
gone, so sad. OH Sara! It’s called the ctm here because of how you say MTC, the
Portuguese grammar is different. We only leave here on PDays which is today. I
can get mail every day except Sunday and can only send on pday. We also just
got 2 new members added to our family district here from Provo!
Maple doesn’t translate over
to Portuguese apparently, they just say maple when they feel the need to
use it. We had another really awesome devotional Thursday morning about Alma.
He was rejected by the people after commanded to preach to them, but he didn’t
give up because the Lords trust for him never changed. 90% of your good ideas
come from the Holy Ghost, IF you’re keeping the commandments. I sent Emanuel a
letter, someone tell him to check his email. Christ was the greatest man to
ever walk this earth and live and if you don’t know that right now you need to
find that out for yourself. He had no degree, yet he was called Teacher. He had
no slaves and was called Master. He was crucified, and did no wrongs. He was
behind tomb for 3 days, and yet HE LIVES.
Be looking for the letter I’m
sending my mom about the details. Remember that I love you, God loves you, and
His will is infinite; important compared to yours. Humble yourselves and Trust
in The Lord Thy God.
Paz e bençòus con todo meu
amor,
Sister Bido (and my blog is
irmajustine.blogspot.com if i ever miss an email to you!)
P.S.
Read 3 Nephi 12:10-12 to prepare
yourself. I love you and I love being a missionary. Because I have been given
much I too must give, and because much is given much is always expected. My whole heart is in this and no it’s not
easy at times, but President Swenson said that I can be perfect at saying a
prayer and perfect at bearing my testimony, and that will make me a missionary
with perfection. I don’t have Cathy’s email but tell her thank you for the
letter, it made me smile. I love every one and knowing you all love me gives me
endless happiness. I’m the only one in my district that is getting mail right
now and I think it’s sad to some of them, so if anyone feels up too, I would
love a heartfelt letter that I can read to all of them about support or
whatever! (I love you mom and dad, thanks again for the cookies from last
week. I now have 10 people in my district so that’s cool. We were nervous about
having new fam members but they’re slowly getting used to us. Love ya mean it,
talk to you next week!
