Happy for Health

Happy late thanksgiving! Thankful for so many things, and one of those things this week that Sis. Gomez and I are both grateful for is health! Right after I got better, Sis. G got sick..
for 2 days throwing up because she can't eat bananas, but she ate it a lot from members last weekend. And she will not do that anymore haha. Learned her lesson. It was a bummer to stay inside for so long and lose time. So that threw a wrench in the week- but we keep on keeping on. A good thing!! When I called to let Sister Miller (mission presidents wife) know Sister Gomez was sick, I was having a hard time speaking straight English haha. I had to really try hard ahha. Sooo while I'm not super good yet, at least I can see my progress with that.

-I HAVE LICE AHHHHHHH. Seriously after everything this week, lice was the finale. I figured it out yesterday, and my head has been itchy, but I just thought it was due to my normal dry skin and how much I sweat. but nope! turns out i have lice, when I saw the bug in my hair. I think I got it from staying at the others sisters house two weeks ago and slept on an old pillow there. NEVER AGAIN will I do that haha. I spent the evening showering, buying a comb and shower cap, and luckily Sis Gomez had some shampoo for lice from the CTM, since some girl there had it. I think I spent more than an hour in the shower, and then soaked my head in vinegar all night, then Sis Gomez went through my hair this morning, and I will have a sister from church go through it tonight. and shower again and again, and constantly wash everything. UGH so gross. So thats the big thing of this week now.

But we are now both healthy and grateful to be back 100%.

One couple that we are teaching had an awesome experience with fasting this week. The husband has been looking for work the past 5 months, and when he and his wife visitied church, the lesson that day was on fasting. So, he wanted to fast to find work. He and his wife asked us to join them to fast for this purpose, and this sunday at church, he told us that he is going to be interviewed today! So awesome, and really shows the power and miracles that fasting brings.

Transfers are today, and Sis. Gomez and I are staying in the area! We are excited, and will spend Christmas here in Ermelino Matarazzo. :) Also it is crazy how fast time flies!!!

scripture of the week:

Alma 27:16-19

Love this scripture and it talks about how we can have true joy if we really want it and are willing to be happy! So I challenge you all to be more happy, and spread your happiness with others!

amo vocês! boa semana!
