So this week was a good one! Not a ton of new things to say, but I have been busy trying to learn as much as i can before I go and won´t speak English for a while haha.
Portuguese is going well! Our instructors gave us a really nice compliment and said we are doing very well and have made a lot of progress recently, so that is great to hear. And I have been learning so much in general on how to become a successful missionary. The CTM is an amazing place, so full of the Spirit, and has the best people around!
Food:
Last pday our instructor took us to get chicken heart and it was so yummy!! Also the acai here is unreal. It makes me excited for what else I will try in the next 17 months.
Also it is a tradition here to have some sort of pasta on Sundays. Fun stuff
ok and Sorry that my emails have been pretty short, but with the influx of new missionaries here, we don't have a lot of time. But the next time you hear from me I will have a lot of new things to talk about!!
Quote of the Week:
Just enjoy the journey and focus on progress, not perfection. (thanks dad:)
Also read Jeffrey R. Hollands talk ´Be ye therefore perfect, eventually´ its one of my favorites.
Love you all so much!!
Love, Sister Jeppson
More details from questions answered:
I leave the CTM next Tuesday morning! We don't know the details until Sunday night. Also, i get a proseyliting card that tells me when i come home, thought you might be exited about that haha.
I don't know the area at all yet haha.
Yes we have a whole district from Brazil going there!! I think its like 6 guys and 2 girls. so thats really exciting. They are all awesome.
The cookies were so great!! i loved them, so thank you again!!!
I sewed up a dress and a button on my shirt and thought you would be proud haha.
This morning we got to the temple and it was so good!! It was an awesome experience to do it in Portuguese, because the spirit was so strong even though i couldn't catch a lot of what they were saying. Neat.
Language: I get frustrated sometimes because it doesn't come super easy, but also depends on the day haha. I know it will come, its just the time that is takes to come is the hard part. I definitely have a long way to go!! So i am nervous but excited to enter the field. Its all kind of in the unknown is what I am nervous about i guess. But it will be amazing!! And i definitely think about "the gap" all the time. It has really helped.
I have made the best friends here and i am so sad to leave them! the good thing is that i will see a lot of them in Utah after i get back so we can have some awesome reunions and stuff.
Ok I love you so so much!! hopefully I will have a lot of time next time to send all my pictures and everything!! i might not get to email you until a week and a half because i am missing nexts week's pday, just a heads up.
