So I am very sorry to report that I can't send photos this week because I forgot the cord to my camera. Blast! But you all will see pictures of my greenie next week.
We had a mom and her daughter get baptized Friday. They've been taught for a long time! It was such a blessing that our companionship was finally able to see them get baptized. They were really excited. Their names are Rute and Luana. :) Pictures will come next week.
Other than that, the work is going well here.. It is not without difficulties, but I know things could be worse. Sister Robinson is a real blessing in my life. I learn just as much from her as she does from me, I think! She's got a real positive attitude, but hasn't quite become accustomed to filth yet.. hahaha. But I really like her. Her portuguese is coming along really well too.
So President Oliveira went to a training given by Nelson and he talked about how all things we do in life should be framed around Moses 1:39. That and a combination of discussions with my housemates has helped me realize that there are 2 kinds of people that walk away from the mission: People who change, and People who become. I've decided I'm going to work a bajillion times harder making Heavenly Father's purpose--MY purpose. Not just my purpose for the mission, but purpose for the rest of my existence. Maybe that is just a no-brainer for the rest of you, but I've been under a rock of ignorance or SOMETHING. But yeah, I've repented of my ignorance and I'm working hard to be a 100times better missionary!
Also, the power and internet went out in our city yesterday so we weren't able to email. That is why this is coming so late! Sorry!
Also, a fun fact for those who are interested.. I now run every morning. Yes, I hate running, but I need to do it. Haha. Sister Payton and I have a transfer goal of running to the top of a very far away hill and back by the end of the transfer. Without stopping. haha. I think we will achieve it sooner than the end of the transfer but goals are always good anyways.
I hope the Lord is blessing everyone in the states and especially my ward!
Love, Sister Buhler
