READ THIS! so all of my emails got deleted:`(  sorry if i havent responded to something because that~s why. please forward me anything you have that you sent me in the past because i would love to keep those emails on here por favor!! e muito obrigada:) and tell me how you all are doing too

transfers were last week! one hour of planes and 14 hours of buses and i have made it to paradise area wahooooo. showers with hot water, wind and rain that (somewhat) require sweaters, dessert every lunch, no hills, and the best pao de queixo in the whole world!!!!! I am so excited to be here. no bispas and no fights at ward council too! i wont lie though i kinda miss it. my companion and i are both new to the area but we have lots of sweet investigators that the other sisters left us. like Tiago and his lifelong turtle companion! 
Love you all and PLEASE EMAIL ME OLD EMAILS (and new ones too hehe)

bom dia!! ive made it another week! now is when it gets crazy with portugues bc weve gotta memorize about 80 words a day and 12 phrases. heres something cool! if you didn't know, the sisters in brazil have always been called 'sister tovey' etc bc the nuns are known as the irmas. but starting last week, we will also be called irmas! which is so funny bc all the brazilian people think of nuns when we get called irma lol. but we get our new nametags in the field so that means that my district will be the last people to be called sister if that makes sense! pretty cool.  portuguese is good. someone give senora swartz a hug for me because my spanish is so helpful!!!! im with the sisters in my district all day every day because we also all share a room (which isn't normal) but we are best friends and we have so much fun.  the church is true!

I love Vilhena.  My hope for these emails is that they are as honest as possible as you can probably tell haha. But seriously I love the mission. We live off of free food from lunches with members and fruit from the streets. We looove making contacts with the people picking fruit from their yards bc they always give us tons (this week our fridge is full of mangoes, jambu, goiaba, and avocado all free wahooo). As you can tell from the throw-up venture from last week, my companion has been an adventure for sure lol. It´s been raining a TON here which means the giant snails come out to hang (seriously like as big as my foot). Every day we eat lunch with the members which is AMAZING. usually we drink what´s called Tereré which is an herb and everyone shares the same straw oxe. my favorit...
