Family!
Happy New Year! Christmas here was a real blast! Seriously! I mean even just being able to wear casual clothes was so nice! Way fun! They did a lot to make the day special for all of us! It was too. It was really different, but really good at the same time. I will maybe tell you more later, but not now!

So I just have one last week here at the ctm. Mixed feelings about that! I love it here, but I am so ready to not be learning sitting a chair all day everyday! i think that I am ready to be in Brasil Goiania.

We went proselyting again and it was good. I know that is not the detail you are looking for, but it was great. I am excited to talk all day everyday with People of Brasil, but really a little worried at the same time, but this week I am making sure to study extra hard faith! I know that if I have the faith necessary that it will be okay! I sure love you! I was glad to hear from Grandma Alma, I love her so much, very sad to hear about Grandma Judd, and I will keep all the family in my prayers. I sure love her I am eternally grateful for the great opportunity that I had tot be with her this summer. What a great woman. What a unique experience to have both grandpa and grandma die while I was hear at the CTM. But, when I was at the temple today I felt them with me, even though I didn´t know at the time that Grandma had passed away! I hope that I will be able to feel their presence while I am here in Brasil.

I am a little sad to leave people here. I absolutely love Irmã Maitê. I feel like we are kindred spirits. I will miss her. She took sister Morrise and I out for lunch today which was a treat and a change from the CTM food. I love it, but it is the same taste, and it was nice to have a little change today! She will miss us a whole lot too. She is sad. But, I LOVE the blessing to know that we will see each other again even if not in this life! I have been really grateful for that blessing a lot lately for some weird reason:)

I get to e-mail Verle yay!!!! love you all so much

Eu te amo!
Sister Judd
