Hey guys. This week was great. My favorite part was proselyting Last Saturday! My instructor told my companion and i to just talk to everybody we saw. And that is what we did. We were definitely guided by the spirit!! We were so blessed! Two people even came up to us asking for Books of Mormon. They said they heard about the Mormons, I asked them if they had Mormon friends and they said no and that they just wanted to know more. So i gave them a book and my testimony. I Love the people of Brasil. Americans are so stubborn haha!
I leave to the field next Tuesday!!! So Crazy! I could have a real lesson next Tuesday night with a real family. Talking about their eternal salvation!! its so crazy!
Mom, i hope i get your letter with the renovation layout, I dont know if it will make it to the MTC in time but there is a chance it could. We are having our final lessons with our instructors and my love for them is so strong because i have learned so much from them and their testimonies of our Savior Jesus Christ truly brought light into my life. The MTC is such a holy place. Second to the temple and our own homes. Leaving here carries a little weight because i will have to bring the spirit of the Lord with me into the homes of those i teach from now on. I am excited to attend a regular church sacrament meeting in a week and a half instead of just my little MTC zone, (which has been great but i´m ready to go).
I am sending some pictures today! I saw my first wild parrots today and they are the first green birds that i have seen in my life. In one pic, i am just rolling in 4 reias (i just wanted to send a pic of the money), all the other pics are with my favorite instructor and fellow missionaries that i love. I am gonna try to get a pic with the chocolate filled churro today! I have been pulling the whole West side thing when my district talks about all of our different missions. We have some going to sao paulo north and some going to west so we joke about which is better! But the Brazilians dont understand the whole West side thing, making a "W" with your hand, because the word for west in Portuguese starts with an "O"!
I just need to give a shout out to all my friends in the great peach state... Go Dawgs, Go Warriors, and Go COUGARS!!! I love you all! Especially you, mom and dad... start checking the mail in like 7 days ;) Everybody do something for somebody this week that Christ would do for them if he were there!! There is joy in the service of others!
Com Amor,
Elder Sanchez
