Updates 

Did you guys know the church updated the introduction page for the book of Mormon??? If you go to the BOM app and go to the introduction page. Its a completely updated verison and makes it SO MUCH EASIER to explain the BOM to investigators. Has been very useful for me these last few days! Shoutout to gma Mitzie for sending me the email. 

To my missionary friends I hope it helps you like it has helped me! Seriously sit down and read it with your investigators!!! 

Weekly ( miracles ) 

This week I have been feeling way better about the work, we have had so many wonderful blessings!! So i called it ( my trainer was right) God provided !! Ill quicky share. 

First we had a new goal this week to get 12 new people... which in lavras we are lucky if we get 5 new people.. so i wasn't too faithful  but we worked hard this week and happy to report that this week we got 19 new people!!!!!!! Good news too majority seems like a super promising teaching group!!!! So please continue to keep praying for the work here!!! I realized this week that being a missionary is actually wayyyy better/kinda fun when your busy all day, teaching lessons back to back, and talking and serving cool people all the time! Like i actually felt some deep happiness creep into my heart and a glimmer of " WHOA i love this ". So that honestly was the biggest miracle this week! ( i love my mission just been really really hard last /this transfer)

Also TIME FLYS when your busy 24/7. And you have no time to think about home or youself!!! So im praying heavily for things to stay how they are :) 

Also, we have been blessed with some amazing weather this week... its been raining for majority of the week so QUE BÊNÇÃOS  genuinely guys its getting unbearably hot.. you breath and your like choking on the heat/humidity in the air. I hate it. The nights are brutal, imagine lake Powell houseboat nights times 10.. but its ok my mom sent me with cooling towels and my own mini portal fan that I have right up next to my face. Thanks mom  Also the memebrs have helped us so much this week.. they have let us shower and use there bathrooms everyday this week, because somehow despite all the rain our apartment complex doesnt have water... so that has been REALLY sucky but the members here are incredible.. they have my whole heart  

Lastly, So excited for this week! We have Zone conference/ Christmas conference with the mission, so i leave for juiz de fora in the morning then right after conference im going on divisions with one of the STLS and will be going to Alfenas for a few days, so im excited for that, i love traveling / visiting new places!! 

Highlights 

♧ pday always, talking to my family/friends and receiving emails/messages threwout the week makes me so incredibly happy... so thank u  

( also Keisha your the best and we are getting swig first day im home... plan on it) 

♧ ALSO SO IMPORTANT IT WAS SISTER HOOVERS BIRTHDAY THIS WEEKKKKK WHOOOOTT Love u so much  Your the best/ perfect example to me on being a loving, patiencant, and positive missionary. Thankful for you and for our friendship, and for the opportunity I had to be your compy  happy 20!!

♧ rain   

♧ again men here are outrageous and I probably have 20+ applications for a boyfriend/ husband, and to make things better the crazys/homless men now know my name and scream " SISTER TIBBIES , GRINGA LINDA" at the top of there lungs and start running after use. So everyday is a game of hide from the crazys, and what new route are we taking today?? 

♧ Mango loco Monster energy drink ... no explanation need 

♧ found 2 Reais on the street 

♧ we made this video about our mission tramas with investigators that I personally think is really funny ( in google photos) 

♧ Turned 5 on sunday!!!  been the slowest but fastest few months of my entire life. 13 more 

♧ GUYS I had the realization that I WILL BE HOME THIS TIME NEXT YEAR WHOOTTT. ( I heard my president sends us home before Christmas sooo this transfer next year I could potentially be flying home) so basically I have 12 months left! ‍

♧ was told straight to my face by a member she thought my outfit was ugly... it actually made me laugh alot but Then she processed to tell me I need to learn Português faster... that didnt make me laugh  

♧ Got pizza Saturday night to celebrate ZeZe's Birthday shes 72!!! 

♧ getting a media references from this 15 year old girl and her 16 year old brother, they are really cool, but the lesson quickly turned into Q&A about america with sister Tebbs... they asked me if garage sales are a real thing? And if its true when people dont want something they leave it on the street for someone to take or throw it away...... they were absolutely flabbergasted when I told them yes that is a real thing lol   and that was the moment they said " america is AWESOME " 

♧ the fruit here is candy   I found these baby pineapples at a stand and it was what I imagine eating straight Cocaine would be like. Was AMAZING  

♧ sister evans printed me ( and everyone in the house) off a picture of Glen Powell.... from the new twister movie.  was a really thoughtful gift.

LOVE U ALL!! Feel free to reach out!!!! :) 

Love, Sister (hallee, Hal, halster, Frog ) Tebbs
