I know I just barely sent an
email, but I leave this spiritual prison tomorrow. Also, with that, I forgot to
add a few people to the email, sorry Benji.
Anyway, with this freedom I guess I'm just
going to do a recap of my this past week in more detail, but less organized.
It’s honestly been a wonderful time here but
man I hate stairs. We live on the 6th floor and have to take the stairs up and
down every day for the past two weeks I couldn’t imagine being here and doing
that longer. Our room is shared with Elder Nunes and Elder Santana and I have
the top bunk. It’s not that bad except for when you finally wake up and you are
freezing because you set the A/C to 16 Celso and it blows right as you all
night.
We had two classes every day except Sunday,
and they were 3 hour classes with one 10 minute break. Irmã Trigo in the
morning at 8am and Irmã Torres 1pm. I almost always got sleepy in Irmã Torres
class. After classes we had time to study then 45 mins for physical activity
where we basically only played volleyball. Proud to say I actually play
decently now. Anytime Cutler and I had time to waste we'd go to our secret
piano room and he would just write songs as I wrote/studied a bit. In 2 years
keep your ears open for a new and upcoming artist because Dani boi has songs
and they will touch your soul, just don’t ask him to play any hymns that aren’t
used often because he doesn’t read hymns well haha. We also had district
meetings almost every night and what a blessing that was to hear people's testimonies
and to just hangout. Cutler taught the rest of the district how to play ninja
and they all really get into it.
Moving away from the district and to other
people who have impacted my time here.
Firstly, Elder Torgerson has been a great
friend and someone I'm always happy to see and talk you. Wishing you the
best.
Next Sister Groll, Sister Nufer, Sister Speth,
Sister McCellan its been fun getting to know you all and I'm glad that Cutler
and I were able to make your time in the prison more enjoyable. Wishing you all
the best with the rest of your time here. Keep me updated with how your
missions go.
Elder Larrosa, thank you for knowing just
enough português to help me when i was thrown into a groupo espanhol. Foi ótimo
para conhecer você. obrigado por sempre ser ótimo e sempre dizer olá quando nos
encontramos. boa sorte em sua missão e me mantenha atualizado.
Elder Lima obrigado por sempre ter um grande
sorriso no rosto e por ser apenas um grande amigo. desejando-lhe o melhor em
Brasília. cuide-se e mantenha-me atualizado.
This last day has been great actually. It’s
been relaxing and it was kinda sad having our last devotional where our whole
district interlocked arms (except the girls) and sang 'Till we Meet'. It was
really nice, and the rest of the day has just been packing. This place has
given me great memories like walking the small track for miles talking with
Cutler about all sorts of things in life. Teasing Elder Nunes for drawing
random Sisters in the CTM and giving them the drawings. Playing volleyball on
the courts with our crazy Dominicano and our district. To all the great people
we would meet at the devotionals. It’s been a great time and I'm excited to see
what gets thrown at us next.
Next time you hear from me I'll be in
Curitiba.
(I dont have many photos this time because the
majority is on my camera, so you'll see them later haha)
