Oiiii!
I was transferred to Lages, Popular ward.
It's been a whirlwind of a week, with a lot of new things. My first week away from the coast of Santa Catarina here in the serra (mountains) of Lages!
Here are some highlights of the week:
-I am now living in 4 again, with my companion, sister Larson, sister Amorim (that was with me in Balneario) and a newbie sister Roberts! It's so fun living in 4, I missed it ever since Ingleses.
-My companion is named sister Larson, and she is from Portland. Oregon! She was in Florida for 2 transfers waiting on her visa, and now I am training her how to be a missionary here in Brasil!
-Tuesday we had a big training and lunch with the newbies that arrived. I got to see my child, sister Sousa again, and see some of my other friends which was cool. My daughter is training, so I am a grandma! Haha! We had a 4 hour bus ride to Lages, and when we got there an Irma hired a bunch of taxis to take our luggage, and bought us three pizzas and soda! It was a blessing!
-It was way cool because when we got in the area, there were a ton of Irmas from the ward that called us to see how we were, and to welcome us to the area, offering to help us if we needed it. It was the first time in my mission that i have seen members like that!
-our first day a young girl from the ward named Alana showed us around the area, and taught the lessons that we taught with usl. The people here love the missionaries, and love to help!
-The people here in Lages remind me of the people of Imbituba, but are a lot more open! Most of the time people let us in to leave them a message when we ask them. It is way cool, and way different then my other areas, this week we are singing "Silent Night" and sharing Christmas messages to get people interested in what we have to say.
-I haven't gotten lost in the area until now! It is a blessing, we have been able to find our way around, and I feel like God is really helping me, because normally I need a bit more time in the area to know my way around, but it's been easy so far!
-We have basically been knocking doors the whole week, every day all day (opening the area). We have met so many cool people this week.
I am loving the new area, next week I will give you more detes!
Always remember to be a light in the world, that sometimes is full of darkness. Its the little things that make the big difference. Especially during this Christmas season. So always remember, Christ went about the world doing good, this Christmas do the same!
Love you all, and wish you all a merry Christmas season!
love,
Sister Crofts
