Goodbye Missionaries

Once again, another set of missionaries finds its way out into the Brazilian mission field, also temporarily known as the MTC. This wonderful set of missionaries is so well prepared for the challenges that lay ahead! Unfortunately for us, we only got to work with this amazing district for a short time! Four weeks after they arrived, they had already received their visas and were on their way!

Oh man, the name of the companionship of blondies has for some reason escaped me, but these missionaries have been such a pleasure to work with. They are so hard working, motivated, and care so much about the gospel! The have been given some of the most amazing comments during class discussions and are picking up the language so well! We had an amazing experience with two of the missionaries who had been struggling with being able to teach well to investigator needs, so we arranged for two missionaries who had been at the MTC for longer to teach them as if they were the investigators. It was amazing what things they picked up on during that visit that were things we were wanting them to improve upon, but weren't sure how to explain to them how to do it. The picked up nicely on a few things that will be helpful for them to incorporate into their teaching. It was such a neat experience as much for them as it was for us to observe! These missionaries are so great! Even the substitutes who taught them while I was on vacation said how much the just love being with these Elders. They are funny, happy, motivated and obedient, and will be exactly what the people of their different missions in Brazil will need! Boa sorte, missionarios! Amo-vos muito! E espero que tenham muito sucesso na sua missao!  Voces sao maravilhosos! :)
