First off, plesae
send all my love and prayers to Debbie, Jim, and their family. That is
heartbreakng to hear about Andrew. I will definitely keep them in my
thoughts and prayers. I also feel for his children as well. That must be so
hard on them as well. I will definitely be thinking of them and keeping
them in my prayers during this difficult time.
Well, in other news, my birthday was
great. Sister Maciel, being a jokester as she is, pretended that she had
forgotten that it was my birthday, haha. We went to go clean the chapel
and I talked about a few things to try and remind her that it was my
birthday. Finally as we were walking back, after cleaning the chapel, I
told her, "Hey, my feelings are a little hurt that you didn´t even say
Happy Birthday." Well, she said, "Oh, I`m so sorry, I forgot!" And then
she didn´t say anything else. It wasn´t until we were going to bed that I
walked into the room and the three sisters sang Happy Birthday (well in
Portuguese) and they gave me a card and a Brasil jersey! haha, Sister
Maciel told me that she knew the whole time and just played this prank
on me. Well, let´s just say that I didn´t believe her in the beginning
but she said, "No really, I knew but I was just messing with you." haha,
but it was funny in the end. But thank you soooooo much for all the
cards and letters that everyone sent! I also got the two packages as
well which was great! New chacos, woohoo! I love the colors as well!
Thank you so much for everything! I love you all so much and all of your
notes and the packages made my day!
Well, in other news, President Nogueira is gonna let
us watch the World Cup, what?! yah, this is when you know that you´re
serving in Brasil. When Brasil plays, we´re going to be allowed to watch
with the members. It´s really going to be CRAZY here! I promise that
I´ll send pictures soon (we have to go to a place that works to send
pictures) but everyone is painting HUGE Brasil flags on the roads, and
there´s a bunch of green and yellow banners EVERYWHERE!
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDSEY!!!! I hope you have a great day Thursday! Everyone in Brasil (including me) will be celebrating with you, by watching the World Cup! haha, I hope you have a great day!
Oh also, we had a baptism yesterday,
Christophe :) He´s really cool and it was a great baptism! We actually
met him on the train last week. We were coming from lunch and we started
to talk to him and we got his address, went and visited him, he went to
church last week, and this week he was baptized!
Mom: Wow, that´s really cool about the Muslim lady that went to church, wow, definitley a golden contact!
and
wow, that´s so crazy that your Primary kids are graduating! The time
really does pass by fast! And thanks so much for the cards and packages!
Oh, and thanks for putting more money in my account :)
Dad: Thanks for your sweet note, on my birthday and
everything :) I´ll definitley keep you in my prayers because I know this
month is going to be crazy for you! And please send all my love to
Debbie, Jim, and Grandma and Grandpa when you go out there.
Bryan: haha, that´s so funny, what Norah said about
priesthood blessings, and I loved the list as well, haha, I`m still
thinking about it during exercise time...
Lindsey:
Thanks for your note, yes, it really is true how precious life is. And
it passes by so fast, I´ve started to learn that just in the mission
field with how fast the time flies.
Taylor: Wow, sounds like you´re having a lot of fun
in Spain! Here, they celebrate Corpus Christi as well! And, yes, the
World Cup is going to be crazy here! The US is going to be play in the
two bordering missions, Recife and Natal!
Well, I love you all so much!!!!
I tried to send photos but it wasn´t working, but next week I truly will try to get it to work!
I love you the MOSTIEST!!!!

Sister Hicks
