Be sure to take lots of cool pics
and eat a bowl of tomato basil soup! Looooooooooooooooooooooooove that
kind of soup. They have soup here with bananas in it. Actually they put
bananas in everything rice and beans, pizza, macaroni. Yeah - so it
turns out it is actually really good... But onto the good stuff.
This last week I was able to be a part of a wedding
here. I got to back to my home in Quissamã. I stayed there Friday and Saturday. It was so funny going back. I love that little town and my
family there. It was an amazing weekend. We left the newbies in Campos
to work and we headed off for the wedding, and more importantly the baptism,
of a family we found our first week there with Sis Z and me. We
worked with them almost every day and went to the wedding office place
and bajillion times and they were finally married and baptized!!!!
Remember Ana Maria and Jorge? They were married and they and their son
were baptized. It was one of the happiest moments of the mission to see a
family entering the church. And it was so good to go back to a place
that I loooove so much and stay with members so simple but have such
strong testimonies. It was pure bliss. It is moments like these that
make every hour in the scorching sun worth it. "Life is beautiful, the
gospel makes it so!"
Transfers are tomorrow and all four of us will stay
in Campos. I am really happy. Because I thought I would get transfered,
but it all turned out great. I love the sisters I am living with. I sent
home one of my old comapnions early this morning and only got 3 hrs of
sleep. We stayed up talking and then I waited with her at the bus
station forever. But it was really good to catch up with her. She lives
in São Paulo. I am hoping to catch a glimpse of her when I come home.
Speaking of which. I got the dreaded phone call. I was totally not
expected it. The office elders called me to confirm flight plans and
airports. I told them SLC and to put the date for Out 6. They
unfortunatley told me that that was impossible. But I will be leaving
Brasil March 6. So I will probably arrive March 7. It makes me sick to
think that I have to leave Brasil and take off my name tag. I love it
here.
Tonight we are spending the night at the train
station with our elders in our zone to go to Vitória to party it up the
day of transfers and celebrate Christmas. It is going to be great! I am
gonna try to send pics. with the rest of my time. know tht I love each
and every one of you.
love you all
sister peterson
