So this week went really well and we had a new family at church yesterday. They're great people and its been awesome getting to know them and helping them. Ive been in this are for almost 7 months and I found out yesterday that I'll be here for at least 6 more weeks but probably 12 more. I'll be helping a new missionary who just got done with his training at the MTC (Missionary Training Center). I'm excited for the chance to train a new missionary and help him to get used to the every day life and walking, teaching and studying. Its been an amazing almost 9 months and I'm glad I still have tons of time left. Its been raining a lot lately but luckily its only been super duper hot a couple days this week. 

So for the spiritual thought, I've been thinking about how Heavenly Father wants to talk to us but sometimes we dont wanna listen. Its tough for sure. Its hard to accept things we dont always understand. Fortunately, I've gained a greater testimony and understand that God will never give us a problem that we cant handle. He will always provide a way that His plan will happen. 1st Nephi 3:7 is a famous scripture in the church and one of my favorites. I will go and I will do. Regardless of the challenge and problems that we may have, we can be confident that the Lord will never abandon us.

So we'll see what keeps happening here in Irajá. Its been a great 7 months and I'm excited to see the miracles continue. So the next part will be in Portuguese for my friends from Brasil so dont be worried if it looks weird.

Então, isso não vai ser perfeito gramaticalmente mas por favor me pordoe. Vou escrever muito rapido hoje mais prometo que as outras semanas eu vou escrever um pouce mais em portuguêse pra vocês. Estou muito animado pela oportunidade ficar em Irajá de novo. Vou ver vocês esta semana.
