I have been looking at different missionary pictures and then I realized that I have yet to share with people what a mission is like in Brazil. For those of you who don't know I served a mission in the Porto alegre norte, Brasil. I have been home over 2 years.... I know and its taken me this long to let people know about it. I do have to say looking back on the mission is kind of hard and being home is even harder at times. I have had this talk with my sister a few times about having a hole left in your heart and for some reason there is nothing that can make that hole go away.I think that is why sometimes it is hard to share such an amazing experience with those around me. Not because i don't want to but because often people don't understand the feelings that come with being a return missionary.There are not enough words to say what a mission can be or means to someone. Here are a few pictures that might explain . This post pictures are from my third area i was there for 6 months and I met some amazing people and had a blast! taught alot and saw the mircles! I spent Christmas in this town and was blessed by families who gave everything they had inorder for us to have a enjoyable time.I had alot of cockrocahes in this house and they became my best friends every morning... I had super fun companions who i was able to feel the spirit with and also play around with. I learned to drink and actually like Chimarrao,I walked miles and miles and miles. I over came my fear of birds. I hurt my knee and didnt think i would be able to walk for days! But i was tough and walked anyways and was blessed to have a dear sister in our word who was a physical therapist and worked on my knee for free. I saw people i love dearly get baptised. I feasted upon the words of christ.. because we had no food haha.I was a wittness in a wedding. I met alot of amazing people and ate amazing food!
