It was so great
to get all of your guys´emails, I´m glad to hear that you are all doing
so well! I absolutely loved the pictures from Freya´s blessing. Everyone
looks so great! And Lindsey, you´re hair is getting so long! :)
So
as the title suggests, it´s been raining a lot these past few days. We
decided that today we´re going to cook some Ramen noodles and make
popcorn and watch a church film in our beds for P-day :)
Dad:
Glad to hear that the Dallas trip is going well. So just to let you
know, I would just like to visit the places where I served here in my
mission. I wasn´t even thinking about another place and I would prefer
just spending a few days here. But I`m so grateful that you guys are
going to come out. It´ll be a lot of fun.
haha, Dad, you have to do the ice bucket challenge! I want to see a video of you doing it when I get back :)
What?! William and Kate are expecting again!!!! Aaaaah, that´s so exciting! Thanks for keeping me updated!
Mom:
Before
I forget, there´s a sister in the ward that wants a CTR ring like mine.
It´s thin and silver. She wanted you to look online to see the prices
for her. Let me know what you see and how much.
Thanks
for looking up the EFY stuff for me. I don´t know exactly what I want
to do next summer but I was thinking about doing EFY.
So,
that´s good that Bro. Stolk emailed you. I definitely want to room with
her spring term but I don´t have to worry about that until I get
back...
I´m excited for you guys to come as well, the time is passing by so fast! Oh, and just to remember, next week I´ll write on Wednesday
because it´s transfers. I think I´ll stay here in Cabedelo and Sister
Maciel will be transfered because she has 1 more transfers here in
Cabedelo than me, but who knows!
Bryan: I
laughed out loud when I read your email about Norah saying that there´s
nothing interesting about cellphones, that truly is what happens when
you are born in 2009! haha, oh Norah...
Oh,
you all look so great in the pictures from the blessing. It´s so crazy
how fast your family is growing Bryan! But it´s sure a beautiful family!
Lindsey:
Thanks for sending me the great blog post and the email is well. I got
it just now. Glad to hear that my parents have been a help and I don´t
doubt my mom inspecting my dad´s dusting job, and it´s a thorough
inspection at that! :) (Love you Mom)
Kimball:
Glad to hear that seminary is going well. I´m sure you are such a great
teacher! What are the ages? Is it all four grades of high school or just
one grade? Let me know what cool insights you have this week. :) Tell
Kelsey and Guy I say hi :)
Norah:
Thank you soooo much for your email! You´re the best! There are parrots
here in Brasil. They are lots of different colors but the most common
are green parrots. This week I taught lots of people and as a
missionary we teach people the Gospel :) I love you sooooo much Norah!
So,
yesterday was truly a miracle. It was raining so much but we still
managed to have investigators at church! Two brothers, Douglas and
Celso, came to church. They are here in Cabedelo until December because
they are doing some test to enter into the Navy. But they accepted
baptism for this Sunday, please pray for them!
Also, Jorge (our recent-convert) brought a friend to church yesterday. His name is Sandro. And he also accepted baptism for this Sunday as well! He is so great and it´s so awesome to see the missionary fire that recent-converts have! Pray for Sandro as well!
Also,
a recent-convert from the other area in our ward (the other sisters)
brought a friend to church. Her name is Jessica and she´s 14 years old.
Since she´s only 14 she has to go to church for 3 months before she can
be baptized but we´re going to start teaching her as well!
We
had another investigator, Mike, come to church but he left during the
sacrament meeting and never came back! It was so weird and yesterday
after church we went to his house but no one was home...
Yesterday
was Brasil´s Independence day and it just poured down rain, but the
show must go on! Cabedelo had a huge parade and we saw the Brazilian
Army and Navy getting ready and we caught a part of the parade as well. I
snapped a photo of the calvarymen to send to Greg, lots of pretty
horses. This computer doesn´t seem to be working to send photos but I`ll
send photos next week!
Last night we ate
dinner at Jorge´s house. He caught lobster this week and fried some for
us last night. It was really good! It tastes a lot like shrimp, he also
made cuz cuz which is one of my favorite foods. It´s made from corn but I
really don´t know how to explain it. Look it up online. Search cuz cuz
nordeste (Northeast, because the people here make cuz cuz different than
the Brazilians in the south) :)
Well, I´m
doing well and loving it here in Cabedelo. Things are really starting to
pick up. I´m anxious to see what will happen this transfer but I´ve
learned now that you can have success in every area. :)
I love you all the MOSTIEST!!!
Love,
Sister Hicks
