Transfer night lowkey made me depressed. First off, I bet you're dying to know where I'm going for the next six weeks. I'm going to… stay right here. Which is chill. 3 of the 4 of us are staying here and we got a new ZL, Elder Gonzalez. The depressing part is that Elder Bingham got transferred out. If you haven't noticed Elder Bingham has had a tremendous impact on my life in just six weeks and now he's dipping. When it was announced me and him just went silent. Anyways, I'm sure this transfer will still go great. Onto the email.

Another uneventful week here in Missão Guarulhos but that doesn’t mean it was a bad week. Most of this week we spent with/ helping Ika as he gets ready to move back to the states.

Before we get into this email, did you do last week's challenge? No? That’s okay. I'm not mad, just a little disappointed. You can try again this week!

Hey friends! I thought P-day would never come, goodness it was a long week, but yeah you freaking read the subject right. But not just one new mission, 55 NEW MISSIONS. 

On a casual Friday morning, of the slowest week I've had yet, the Church decided to drop 55 new missions. Insane. Hold on, it gets crazier. The area I am currently in WILL BE one of the THREE NEW Brazil missions. Missão Guarulhos. There is now a possibility that I get reassigned to a different mission and open A WHOLE FREAKING MISSION. There are a ton of “What Ifs” right now so I am not trying to get my hopes and dreams up… but… the hopes and dreams are definitely there.

Hey friends! We are back. Quick week, actually it felt like a million years, BUT I hit 2 months! At least I got that going for me.

I am (almost) a Brazil Crossy Road pro. Which is crazy because I always rage quit Crossy Road but the amount of times I have shamelessly stepped out in front of cars or casually strolled across the street is way too many. Anyways…

A 45 minute unskippable cutscene, that is what this past two weeks has felt like and it's what this email is about to be for you (except you can skip it, I'll try not to be offended).

First off, some house keeping, now that I am in the field, some things have changed. My P-days are now Mondays so that is when my emails, responses, and photos will come. I don’t have access to Messenger during the week so if you want to contact me the best way is through email so I can read it :). 

Uhh so this is the final email from the CTM, I guess. It doesn't feel real. You're telling me it's been 40 days already and in 5 days I'll be in the field… teaching… at least listening. Idk how much teaching will be done, might have to leave that to my trainer. 

Oh yes and I'm Slovenian. I got my legalization documents on Thursday and they messed mine up and put my birth country as Slovenia… so if I get deported, that's why. Jk jk I shouldn't have any issues, it should be fixed by the time I get to my mission home.

I'm officially one month old. Crazy I know. Only 23 left but who's counting.

We got to go out into the real world this week!! They finally let us wander the streets for P-day after some stalker dude made us have to stay at the CTM. We hit up this steak house that was fogo (fire) and were free for once, hence the subject.

Hey friends! I'm alive… I think… I don't really know. Everything feels like a fever dream.

Two things: I told myself I wouldn't write excessively long emails because no one would read them but… yeah this one is LONG. It's good though and I'll work on length I promise. Also this email is being written way late so if it's not very good, apologies. 

Hey friends!

How does one write emails? I have read so many emails but now that I have to write one I have no clue where to start... oh well I guess we are both in for a treat. 

Read my story of how I decided to serve a mission and how I came to know that the Spirit of the Lord will guide me to where he needs me to be. Listen to the spirit at the first prompting and trust in His timing. Acting on the promptings of the Spirit, trusting in His hand and showing Christ-like love for others will lead to a stronger testimony and blessings from Heaven.
