Oi!
Como vao? Eu estou muito bem aqui en o CTM. Eu estou muito animado ainda. I really appreciate hearing from all of you. It's very encouraging and I feel the love. I love to hear how all of you have been doing. I am sorry if I miss some of your questions though i do try, but it's hard to remember everything.
Elder Morrey and I taught a 19 year old girl in the TRC this week. I don't remember her name, but she taught so so so fast. Our teacher was even astonished by how fast she talked. Fortunately we were able to understand most of what she was saying. Her mother is from Brazil and her father served his mission there. She lived there for a couple years and went on and on about how beautiful Curitiba and the temple there is. I'm excited. Everyone I've talked to that has been there says it's a little cool, but most of them are Brazilian and cool for them isn't quite the same. It was an excellent lesson. We taught her as herself about receiving revelation through scripture study. She gave us excellent reviews which was flattering. She is also living In Pleasant Grove.
Funny things this week include me talking to someone in english and asking "how many weeks do you have here?" That is how you would phrase it in portuguese and it translated into my english. We also took some pretty good pictures the last couple days which should be coming shortly. Elder Morrey tried to say campo or field and said comma, the thing used when writing.
Our teacher has been out of town with her mother that is here from Brazil and because of this we have had subs. We teach the subs as themselves and the lessons are great. it's very different teaching returned missionaries, but it helps us. Elder Chavez made one Sister cry because his comment was what she needed to hear. It's crazy how spirit lead missionaries can be when they are teaching. We also got a new investigator named Arnaldo. He's awesome, but he has a problem with smoking. His whole family is members and we teach him for the third time today.
I don't know if Martha has left because I haven't seen her in a week. Sister Proctor is one sly Sister. Hopefully I see her before she leaves. i took pictures with Elder Bryant yesterday after the devotional. It was good to have more time to talk before he leaves me here for another 2 weeks. We get our reassignments a week from Wednesday. It's an exciting time, but it's weird that it's getting close to the end. It seems like just yesterday I got here and at the same time I swear I have been here forever.
Yesterday was Sunday which was good. Sister Smith from my district gave an excellent talk in church. It was so busy though. First a meeting with the branch presidency, then sacrament meeting, then branch council, then leadership training, then priesthood, then lunch, an interview with the branch president, temple walk, district meeting, then interviewing district leaders, then building meeting, then dinner, then finally a little personal time, then devotional, then pictures, then movie night, then planning, then more pictures, then bed time. that was my whole day.
i love you all and miss you dearly. Sorry about the capitilization this keyboard is semi broken and I'm typing fast. Elder Bryant is here and says hi. Elder Morrey says hi too. My testimony is really growing and I'm working hard. Constantly tired.
Love you all,
Elder Sudweeks
