Beaches and Brasilian Small Towns

This week we got to do 3 divisions which was exhausting but so fun! Spent the first one on Tuesday with Sister Canacia in the area on the beach which is SO pretty and i am secretly hoping I get to pass through that area someday. Spent Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in Sao Miguel, the cutest small town about 2 hours out of Maceio. There are 4 sisters there and 2 of them are my old companions so it was so fun to see them again!! We got back here on Saturday and are exhausted but it was a fun week.

Got to give a talk in church yesterday which isnt too intimidating when there are only 30 people there... turns out the bus was a one-time thing so our ward is suffering a little bit with attendance but this week we have a giant ward activity so we are hoping to motivate more people to make the sacrifice to come.

Still loving my area, my companion, and working with Tamires and Nazare and Israel. Patience... but they have a ton of potential. And I am always laughing with Sister Seumanu so life is pretty good.

Grateful to be here and exhausted but the time is going so fast and I wish I could pause it. So grateful for my mission that allows me to really understand things that I knew before.

Love you all!!
