Hey there my favorites!
I feel so blessed to have such a great family in my life. You all bless my life.. Thank you! (:
I did a lot of randomly weird things as usual.. Like climb a tree, did the Halls Challenge,
hung from a bar with a solid 10 foot drop, ate MASHED POTATOES (yeah that's something
that is unusual... I miss Mom's cooking) and probs killed a few Yellow Fever Mosquitoes.
Yep.. It's true! São Paulo is getting attacked by the Yellow Fever. Usually the mosquitoes
don't like the big cities and stay more out in the more spacious areas.. But they decided that
they are more powerful than the human race haha. They have moved to the city of São Paulo
and are slowly taking the lives of others. It's a pretty sad deal here. Someone was telling me
that the vaccination is super expensive and they are running low. So they are giving out like
1 vaccination for every 4 people in a household. Pretty crazy stuff!! The Zoo's here in
Sâo Paulo are shut down due to these dang Mosquito's too. I guess a famous monkey got
Yellow Fever this past week and passed away...? Pretty sad deal! But I think I am safe.
I have the vaccination.. Some solid bug repellent for the skin.. And the best shield you can
have.... Being set apart as a missionary. Heavenly Father truly does watch over and protect
His missionaries. I have a lot of faith in Him and I know that He is truly watching over and
protecting me.Ü

This past week we were really working on growing our group of people to teach. We knocked doors upon doors upon doors.. And nobody wanted to hear our message it seemed like. It's a rough thing to get rejected over and over again.. But I am getting used to it I think. It's sad because they will tell us how much faith they have and how much the Savior and God means to them.. But then tell us they don't have time to chat about Them. We ask for 1 minute.. 1 MINUTE!! If you don't have 1 minute to talk about our Heavenly Father's love, or our Savior's example.. I think you gotta rethink your life a little bit! haha
I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to have my patience tested here in the mission. As well as my obedience. Both of these things have helped me learn of who I am, and if I really am a follower of Christ. I have really learned to act in faith... despite everything else around me, whether it be comps, people, or other things trying to pull me away. I have learned to act in faith without knowing the `why`.. just putting my trust and faith in Heavenly Father that all will work out. Our faith is truly a blessing. Here in Brazil... Skys faith is growing and developing through scripture study and prayer. I know that we have a Heavenly Father. He is a loving and caring Heavenly Father. Thanks to him and His son.. this mission is a lot easier for me and so is this life. All you gotta do is have faith, be obedient, and accept the harder right, even when it is easier to accept the easier wrong ( I think President Monson said something like this). I am so grateful for all of my many blessing and I am grateful to be able to learn and grow here in Brazil through trials, challenges, and just the daily life.
