Oi minha familha! 

Here's just a quick note to let you know that I am alive. . . I feel pretty scattered but that is probably to be expected. . . .I have no idea when my p-day is so You'll hear from me again at a later date:) Our plane ride here was 10 hours long and I literally could only sleep for 1 hour! I'm not tired now but I know it will hit! They're sending us off to class and we got here like 45 minutes ago, Ai, and so it begins! I can't believe I'm actually here! I sat next to a nice old brazillian couple and we did a smidgen of chatting. . . I'm pumped to be here and I love you guys! Hope to hear from you soon!!
 
Love,
 
your Portuguese-speaking daughter,

Cuse Tribute

Well folks, the time has officially come, I'm off to Brazil tomorrow! It's definitely a bittersweet thing:) I've loved serving here with all of my heart and decided to just write a short e-mail this week about what I learned (or learned more about:) during my time in the Cuse:)

-The law of consecration-we can't ever give too much of our time building up the Lord's Kingdom on the Earth.

-The Atonement is real and it lifts us and carries us through things that we could not do on our own.

-Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father are real human beings that love us more than we can comprehend.

-The dawn always comes! Always!

-Building our family should be the focus of all that we do; this prepares us to be Gods and Goddesses in the life to come!

-This Gospel is true! So true!

- I am SO lucky to have a whole family that supports me and and raised me in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

-We can and should be missionaries our whole lives, it doesn't end!

-Eternal Perspective: Our time here on earth is just a smidgen of what's to come and has already been. And: Every single person on this Earth chose to follow Christ's plan, we need do to all that we can to help them remember that!

-We have the fullness of the Gospel; within the scriptures are all of the answers! They are so full of truth!

-The Book of Mormon can bring us closer to God than any other book on the earth. I love it!

-Aaand there's a lot more stuff but as usual, time has gotten the best of me! Know that I know that this work and this Gospel are true:) 

Vamos para frente com fe:)
