"Lets play a game of who can run to Zupas' the fastest!", Elder Reynolds





Lots of good stories for the week so don't be lame and not read my email.... i promise i do my best to make these engaging. But if you wanna just skip to the pics link to my google photos is at the end of the email! 

Also PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME! WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YALL!!! ( feels nice to talk to the outside world) 
This week was immersion and oh boy. Portuguese really is teaching me patience. Ahaha but no worries i can kinda understand what's going on. 😅 

forgot to mention in my last email me and sister hoover joined the choir.......... yes we did make it into the choir and No there were no tryouts. 
After a few girls in front of us turned around and told us " you guys are really good " while laughing. we decided to sing reallly really quite.
 And to make things even better the webcam zoomed in on me and sister hoover singing during the devotional with the area seventy there. it took everything in us to not laugh but the demons won and unfortunately we did laugh a little. And afterwards everyone was giving us a hard time. We even had 2 sisters come up to us and said " your the two sisters from choir ".... #jojosiwaredface #wequitt #firsttimeinchoir #wedontknowhowtoreadnotes #tonedeaf 

Also me and sister hoover got a perfect score on our teaching assignment! That was a win well needed this week! Teaching the gospel was harder than i was expecting but finally We are getting into a groove... now to just be fluent in Portuguese. Easy. 

One of our teachers is a return missionary from Juiz de Fora, he was saying how its insane. Super cool, good food, amazing people. He said though however he has never been hotter and that he never walked on a flat road. All up hill or down hill..... so what i took from that is my legs will be chiseled and that my time spent on the stair master will pay off. Then he was showing us ( capoiera ) which is a dance / Martial arts mix that is pretty big in Brazil - look at my google photos for the video 
Talking to him made me so excited to go to Brazil I genuinely can not wait 

The food is starting to get so old and i physically can not do it anymore... also gross story for the week. I was eating one of the best things in the cafeteria the aloha plate. Its no Honolulu grill but its good. Me and sister hoover get that or the rice bowl probably everyday. Well i took a bite and i felt something weird in my mouth. i kid you not the longest and thickest hair ball ever was in my mouth/food ... 🤢🤮 it was so gross i stood up and walked as quickly as i could to the bathroom and i threw up everything that was possibly inside me. Not a W day. 
FElIZE E CONTENTE ( uncle john gets it )

YOUR SOUL FOOD FOR THE WEEK !!!! 
2 Nephi 31: 20 
" Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life " 
I love this so much. I think it so perfectly fits with being a missionary at least for me. Except for the last part I had the thought instead of " eternal life " I replaced it with " gift of tongues " . As long as I have faith, hope, charity, and being obedient. I will be the missionary the lord needs me to be and he will bless me with the language! 

Love you all! Would love to hear from you! 
Go make someone feel loved this week 💕

  Song of the week- joy by post malone  https://photos.app.goo.gl/ 3XbRZ9tgSZpoDPZz9 ^^^^ photos Weekly  E AÍ gente? Tudo bem??    We started this week off with divisions. We put all four twin mattress together and slept all 6 of us....... that was an experience slept like that for 3 days. Lets just say the rule in the missionary handbook about sleeping in your OWN bed is a rule for a reason.    Divisions itself if im being so honest didnt learn anything new. I had fun tho, the STLS are super nice, but I was also the one leading everything which normally when the STLS are here they are the ones leading becuase we are trying to learn from them ( from my past experience)...... so i was stressing pretty hard when we walked into the first lesson and we all sat in literal silence for about 3 mintues because she was giving me the look of death to speak and start the lesson, but my brain was trying to português and it wasn't portuguêsing and I ended up saying...
