Halster in Brazil

I unfortunately can't call you guys, I'm so sorry. But know I love and miss you both so much! Mission life has been pretty crazy and quite the adjustment!!   My area in Brazil is WILD ! AHAH read my weekly email and look at my google photos to see what I mean.  Pray for Diogo, he will most likely be my first Baptism!!!! He's a super cool guy we met in the praça ( plaza) . He reached out to us and has just been doing really good with all the lesson, and loves the book of Mormon and the gospel. He believes God knows him and has a purpose for him. It's been amazing working with him. He speaks pretty good English too which has been such a BLESSING! Bc what I can't say In Portuguese I can say in English and he understands me! This has been my biggest struggle on the mission yet. hardest thing for me right now is feeling connected to the people we are teaching. I am feeling useless because I don't know what I'm doing. Idk what people are saying to me or what's...

So super scary but now super funny to look back on, i kid you not I almost got hit by a train.... thank goodness I am a missionary for the Lord and have angels watching over me.  So I'll share the story.  We were about to get on to our train to go to the airport in salt lake and we had to cross over to the other side and my bags can't roll over the tracks nicely so i had to carry them over one by one. Well on my last bag the lights start going off and elder Reynolds is standing behind me yelling TEBBS YOU GOTTA GO ... THE TRAIN IS COMING and so he runs past me and I go to pick up my heavy bag and as i quickly walk i trip and fall onto the tracks and my bags fall and I'm on the tracks and I look up and literally see the train coming around the corner. I literally couldn't move, i was so shocked that this was a real event that was actually happening in real time. Like whoa I'm about to get hit by a train...... and also it was just so funny to me and I was also so emba...

I am so gratful for my time here at the provo MTC, it has been a grind! However some of the funnest memories of my life. I'm forever grateful for the wonderful relationships that have been created and strengthen from being here. I love my district with my whole heart. I have truly loved being a missionary, I feel so humbled and blessed and full of gratitude as I prepare to leave tomorrow for Juiz de Fora, Brazil!!!! My mission will not have Facebook so this is goodbye for a while! Love you all!!! Eu sei que Jesus Cristo é nosso Salvador. Eu sei que Ele morreu por mim, por todos nós. Eu sei que a expiação de Jesus Cristo é verdadeira. Eu a vi em minha vida. Jesus Cristo me curou e me salvou. Eu sei que Deus ama todos nós. Em nome de Jesus Cristo, amém. 🫶🏽 CJ Stewart Brandon Hill Brady Price Liv Hoover Tucker Reynolds Lincoln Comin Everett Halverson Ryan Wells Bailey Barker Alyson Robertson Eyan Parry Tate Fuller

Dear Family  Honesty not a whole lot to say this week other than it was chill. This will be one of my lamer emails. So I apologize in advance but stay tune for next week bc ill be in the amazing land of BRAZILLLL... TO SAY I AM EXCITED IS AN UNDERSTATMENT. Im so happy to leave the MTC. Ahaha I usually write throughout the week experiences I want to share but nothing super crazy happened. at least nothing i can share on here.... hehehehe JUST TEASING ofc.. but seriously I forgot to write about it. I am constantly so busy and the days start to just kind of blend together its hard to keep track of time and everything that happened. But just regular classes and lots of really good devotionals and we always do a testimony meeting afterwards and that is probably my favorite part of the whole week. The spirit is so strong and everyone in my district speaks with so much power and insight!!  Ok so I have a quote book of funny things people have said or i have overheard and i thought I ...

Guys I've been a missionary for a month!!!! Truly so crazy!! Welp This was honestly probably the hardest week of being a missionary yet. Womp womp. I've been doing super good until this week . I will not  sugar coat it. It was a hard week. I was super sick Tuesday-Friday, I still went to class however because I don't think I could have handled rotting in those rooms. And now I feel bad because I must have gotten my whole dystric sick...  Learning the language has been very challenging and its been really hard going to class everyday and feeling like there is no improvement. But non the less, I still had some amazing times and lots of fun experiences throughout the week along with some tender mercies!!! So I'll share some of my favorite stories/experiences !!!  Red headed comp story  Me and sister hoover were going to our class and we get into the elevator with these two other elders.. they were BOTH red heads!!!! Like bright carrot red hair. And i was just so shocked...
