The Days Feel Like Weeks, and the Weeks Feel Like Days.



Well one more full week here at the CTM! Time really does fly by so fast! Nothing too crazy happened this past week but there’s a little bit.

Our Brasilian roommates left so it’s back to the three of us again which is nice but at the same time we miss them a lot!!

We had a funny moment in one of our lessons last Saturday! Sister Dixon was teaching about arrependimento [repentance]. She was explaining how we need to confess serious sins to the bishop. Well in Portuguese the word bishop means fag and to say bishop it is bispo. She didn't know that so when she was explaining it to him she said you need to repent of your sins you fag. He busted up laughing and we had no idea what had just happened. Then he explained to us and we all laughed. It was pretty funny!! then later in the same lesson, she said we would come back in the next visit and ask him more questions but instead she said we would come back and fart.... it’s a good thing he can speak English and explain things to us ha!

Our lessons have gotten a lot better this week. We are teaching more by the spirit and are feeling its presence more which has been such a blessing! It’s been so nice to have the spirit here to guide us.
The language is coming... slowly but surely! To end, here is a quote that I really like:
“a distancia entre out ceus e a terra e a mesma distancia entre seus  joelho e o chao"

Love you all!
Sister Steadman
