Familia
Well this was a rough week I am not gonna lie. We had 2 baptisms that fell through. We found out that One was not married and the other was no where to be found the day of her interview and we haven´t gotten ahold of her since, we had a Christmas dinner for our ward which started late so we had to leave when it had barely began. It was okay we also had many miracles we had a special fast with a lady named Isabel that has been coming to church for the last two years but her husband doesn´t want to get married, but after the fast she talked to him again and they will be getting married in Jan. 2010 I am so happy for her she is such a neat person.
By the way I will be calling christmas day around 2:00 here which I think is between 9-10-11:00 in the morning there! I am so excited to talk to all of you I will already tell you that I have 30-40 minutes at the most okay! I sure do love you and thank you for the package I received this week. Thanks aunt nancy and uncle wayne. Thank you becca for the sweet picture you are so beautiful! I love you all tons!
We had the special experience to have ELder Zwick and his wife come here and do a mission tour. It was great and very uplifting and inspiring. It was also the very first time I have seen my Presidente Tobias be brought to tears. He is a fantastic man and I feel so blessed to have had so many wonderful men and women in my life! I love sister Tobias as well. I feel like I need to be a better woman so that I can be worthy to marry a wonderful man and priesthood holder.
I have felt a great anxiety my last months on the mission. I want to be absolutely the very best that I can that the lord may accept this mission. I love Him so much I know he loves me too. he is so patient with me.
I love my companion she is maravilhosa! She helps me a lot and we are very excited for christmas!
I would like to ask you all to pray for Roberto and Mauricio they are our baptisms this weekend!
We went caroling with our ward and visited 9 families and a few investigators t was fun! My companion sings really well in fact we have sung a lot lately, for the ward party for church and a member invited us to his apartment complex to sing for their party which was cool and spiritual. I said sister Olsen, we sing for food and references this is so awesome! I hope I will stay with her for a while yet!
It was great to hear about the bsptisms of Wyatt, Amanda, Verle I pray for all of you and love you all!

I am not sure what we will do to make our christmas awesome!

Familia e amigos!
I love dia de preparação! Wowsie it is tiring to be a missionary sometimes, well pretty much all the time... But there are sweet rewards like in everything that is worth anything in this life! I love the work I feel so happy serving my father in heaven and I know He has been helping me.
I love this area. We have some amazing people we are working with, we had a stake conference this weekend so a couple of our baptisms need to wait a bit to hop in the water, a bit like this weekend. The sweet Fransisca 68 year old and Luanna 16 will be baptised this weekend. We also have a couple of activities planned with the ward with a dinner ect... that should be fun.
I am learning so much.
As for the training, it is going well. I love all the sisteres here in my mission so that helps and when they baptise it is such a great joy to me. I had a split with sister Gonçalves my baby girl that I trained and it was so great to see her. I love her so much. Some friendships I am pretty sure were planned in the Pre- exisitence and this is one. I love her so.
My companion is the bomb! She is great to work with and really easy to live with. I think about marriage and how great it is that you get to chooose the one that you will live with and love forever. I am sure the mission is helping me prepare for marriage. I was thinking about how awesome that it is to every week have an companionship inventory. There are many things that I would like to apply in my marriage and one is inventory where we tell of the others strengths and then how we think they could improve. We are thinking about our temple covenants and making a sacrifice, increasing our obedience, and consencrating something everyweek for the bettering of the work of god. it is amazing and I know that the Lord will bless us here quickly!
Some of the sacrifices we have made include special fasts, negative words,and english, and 30 min of sleep to read o Livro de Mormon. Some obedience has been in inviting 140 people to be baptised every week ect... it hasbeen great. I am happy and excited for christmas I will see what I need to do to get a phone card I can use! I love you all!

Well, I have plenty of time to write a nice e-mail today and it was wonderful that some of you decided to repent and wrote to me. Thank you so much.
I can use your prayers.
I am loving the mission and the people here. We have just a couple of hold ups with the baptisms because one needs an interview with our President and the others need to come at least one more time to church. Fransisca is awesome still and in progressing. It was great when she came to church and everyone just loved her. This is what members are for. I love working with the members but to do so a person has to be patient and loving and really careful!!!! I am not sure if I have to explain what that means, but it is great. We planned an excellent activity these days for allthe returned missionariesin the ward, we thought of how we could baptise a family every month here in our ward and thought that we needed the help of the members to do this, so we thought of a couple of ideas and thought that there already exists in our ward people who know how to do missionary work... returned missionaries.. So we made invitations and withthe help of the ward mission leader we asked them to bring there name tag, pictures, and an experience to share, and wife or husband, afterwards they would go out to eat somewhere.. it was a success, after the most spiritual part sister olsen, who has pretty much the best voice of all time, and I sang Que manhã maravilhosa. Oh how lovely was the morning and presented our plan and asked for a reference every month from them as a couple. they all accepted the challenge and I believe it will work. It is so great to use members. It is so important to be worthy of their confidence.
We had transfers but I am staying here thankfully with my wonderfully wonderful companion Sister Ginger Olsen, I think I will name one of my daughters Ginger so no one take my idea. and NO I am not trunky!
I felt a little sad to hear that it may not be possible for mom to pick me up. I want you to know whatever happens it is okay, but after about 3-4 months on the mission and especially after 9-10 I thought wow what a wonderful thing itwould be. If it works out that would be the desire of my heart. I will finish the mission May 11, 2010. Merrry christmas to all you all!

Family that is so beloved. I want you all to know that anyone can e-mail but I have to respond to everyone by letter okay. just for you all to know. I am happy happy happy. Our baptism this week needs to wait a little bit more time but the lord has been blessing us with others who are solid and we are hoping for many baptisms. Today was transfers but I am staying with my Companion sister Olsen, she is wonderful adn I am loving it! We will be together for christmas and that should be a whole bunch of fun. I was happy that a member invited us to have christmas with them, it should be good.
Renato is ouir baptism and he is so awesome really intelligent and is very religious already I know that he will be a great help to the church and the church for him as well.
We also have a lady named Fransisca who is pretty sweet as well she is 69 and is getting excited for her baptism. She is really great!
I am learning and growing and will be planning to go on splits with all the sisters this transfer! I love all these gals they are some of my best friends and I will enjoy working with and serving them in this new calling as sister trainer.
I am learning how to plan and make it so my plans work, before the mission I did this, but I think that I will be even better after the mission. I love missionary work!
Marci I am not sure if mom did this, but I doubt it if you could send me a CTR ring that has the spinny part in the middle, I am sure that you have seen one. You can take the money from my account like normal it would be wonderful! I love my companion and my old comp. sister goncalves she asked for one and I would like to get it for her.
Thank you tons!
The other day I started singing horsy horsy on your way and sister olsen totally started singing with me! It was so awesome!
