Last week of transfer 1.. here I come!

Good week, but got some sucky news.. Sister Lundgreen vai embora.. (she´s leaving).  Actually she left today at noon.  She´s had a lot going on especially with her health and had to hit the road. She was definitely my buddy here so it´ll be an adjustment... Keep her in your prayers!

We had interviews with President this week and he literally is so awesome! He is a saint. He always knows what to say to help me feel better. We had the interviews during district meeting and then afterwards we had lunch as a zone! It was fun, but I was kind of in a rut having just learned about Sister Lundgreen. It´s okay though.  I honestly can´t imagine leaving at this point. Too much happening and too much I still need to learn... Yeah, that´s life.

This week we had a multi division thing with members in the stake.  It was so fun! Me and a sister that arrived with me in the field, Sister Rojo from Argentina, and a little 12 year old were together so it was so fun. Evelyn is her name:) We found a girl who only has 17 years, a baby and is pregnant! CRAZY HUH! She seemed interested... and for sure is someone who needs some light in her life. Sister Rojo will have to keep me updated on that (not my area).

We have a new Pesquisador (investigator). His name is Tadeu.. HE'S AMAZING!!! First thing he said to us after finding out we are missionaries was, "Well I have some questions for you cause I don´t believe in anything... I don´t believe in God because bad things happen."  YO!!!!! So he´s the brother of a young woman in our ward named Debora. She´s great!  Anyway, yeah we've been teaching him and he´s learning so fast. He is so open and wants desperately to learn and to change his life. He ends every lesson with "Eu acredito" (I believe). 

My companion is thinking she might have to leave. Her knee is so bad. We haven´t been able to work and we've had commitments fall through, and it´s been tough for us.  Keep her in your prayers as well!!

Now I have a new thing I wanna do every week (thanks to my Grandma Honey <3) I'm going to call it my "blue popsicle."  Grandma told me a story about a missionary who got a blue popsicle from the primary president on a hot day, and it was a tender mercy that changed his mission. So... my blue popsicle this week... talking to Sister Manning, another American sister that arrived with me, all about our struggles, and laughing and letting each other know we´re always here for each other. It was 10 minutes that changed my week for the better. 

I hope all of you can find blue popsicle moments through out your week:) Looking for the Lord´s hand changes everything. 

Pictures won´t load this week. All the pictures I have from this past week are only on my camera not on the computer. So I´ll try to figure that out for next week!

Love you all and thanks for the prayers!
