Ha ha so I got proposed to again this week. He told me he was headed to
the United States to Paint some oil drill thingy and he was planning on
getting married while he was there to an American. He said " I don`t
know if it will be you maybe a different one" I assured him that it
wouldn`t be me and excused myself.
As fun and interesting as it is to meet these colorful people I feel
as though my Mission is kind of a big joke. ha ha my companion is
still trying to get used to being my companion. She is a LOAD of
help...as soon as our contacts turn stalker she walks away laughing her
head off and leaves me to clean up the mess. Lovely. Ha ha she has
started counting all the cat calls we get everyday. Apparently it
happens a lot more here in Catú than in anyother area. How lucky for
meto be here so long. ha ha
So, Catú is amazing as usual. we are teaching sooo many amazing
people and I can`t wait to start seeing the fruits of our labors. I
love being Sister Marciano`s companion, she is soooo sweet!!!!! We are
getting along great and have all sorts of goals and plans.
I had a huge list of things I wanted to write to you all this week
but I totally forgot......I am sooo silly sometimes. I wanted to let
ambet know that I did get her valentines package today!!! Thank you
sooooo much!!! The conversational hearts were a great hit at your
training today. I personally think they taste a little like chalk and
so I was giving them to all the other missionaries and them I ended up
having to translate all sorts of random english phrases. it was super
funny. THANK YOU AMBER!!! lOVE YA!!!
I also found out that there may be a reason my packages are a lot
slower than others. I was talking to a few americans and they all said
that the address I have is ALL wrong. I knew that there were 2
addresses for the mission and the only one I ever got in my call packet
was the Caixa Postal (P.O. box) address. APPARENTLY the other is
faster....I don`t really understand how since the 2 are in the SAME part
of the SAME city.....oh well somethings we just aren`t meant to
understand in this life. So this is the OTHER more right address:
Sister Meredith Rae Ottley
Missão Brasil Salvador
Avenida Antônio Carlos Magalhães, 3247
Sala 402, 4º andar Edificio Empresarial Delta
Pituba
Salvador-Bahia
Cep: 40275-000
BRASIL
The
other address (caixa postal) will still work I just hink that this one
may be faster. Please make the necessary adjustments.
ANYWAYS: let`s talk about the work. The man from the Book of Mormon
smoking story was unfortunately never baptised. He said he wanted to
be better prepared and then moved to another state. BUT who knows maybe
he will continue to read the book of mormon and be preparred someother
day. He hasn`t smoked, as far as I know, since the day we taught him.
The Book fo mormon can really don miracles if we let it. We are
teaching a guy names Wellington. He is sooo funny. He says the oddest
things but we will probably baptise him this week if everything goes
according to plan. It has been about 3 years that he has been going to
church. and he is just starting to trust us as missionaries, it might
have something to do with the fact that my companion is super
cute.......but we`ll just leave it at that. ha ha
We are still going strong with Simone trying to get her to forget
her fears and just GET IN THE WATER!!!! ha ha but everyone had thier
time. OH FUN STORY!!!! I got a letter From Sister Manuo who was my
trainer in the North Carolina mission....like 4 people who I taught
while I was there got baptised after I left!!!! sooo awesome!!! I love
it sooo much. The church really is true. It makes me sooo happy to
know that people ALL over the world are joining the ranks to fight
against Satan. I really don`t know why he is even still
trying....EVERYONE has already seen the end of this movie.....ZION
totally conquers!!!! Sorry if that was a spoiler for any of you out
there.
So we are working hard. I am Happy Healthy and Fat. I love you
alll soooo much. Please don`t ever regret. Learn from all experiences,
good or bad, and move on. Not only on but forward. Life is good.
Stay awesome!!!
Love
Hugs
Kisses
Sister Ottley!!!!
