Hey
guys! I hope you all had a great Christmas! We had a good one here in Guarujá.
It was kind of different, you know, being far from home and stuff. But it was
good. We were able to do a lot of Christmasy stuff. On Christmas Eve and Day,
we weren´t able to mark any appointments, so we just went and visited
everybody. We sang them Christmas carols and it was nice. We ate some good
Brazilian food too. Lots of panetone and chester, which I learned is really
just chicken. But it was good. with arroz and maionese e guaraná. We spent
Christmas night with a bunch of members who also didn´t have family to spend it
with. And we were able to talk to our families, so it was really just ótimo. I
don´t really have anything to complain about. The mission is great, and it´s
weird that I´m almost done, but it happens to everyone. We´re really
excited for this week because we´ll have a bit more time to work
effectively and we´re gonna have baptisms! Woohoo starting the year off
right!
This week I read a
talk by Elder Bednar about the Character of Christ. I recommend this talk to
all you guys. It talks about how Jesus Christ, even in the most difficult
moments of His life, still thought about the needs of others and looked to
serve them. As I thought about Christmas, and missionary work, and the Christ´s
character, I really felt strong love for our Savior and His love for all of
us.
Com amor,
Sister Herron
