This week has been great! I am pretty fluent in the language, you could say, well not really but it is really coming along. So this week I have taught three 15 minutes lessons fully in Portuguese with my companion Elder Simper. Some fun things from the temple: the temple is super pretty and I was able to pick up a mini Portuguese hymnbook. Also some fun revelation is now I'm going to switch my major from Biology to Business which is awesome but not what I was expecting. God has a plan and its not always what we want or plan but in the end His plan is better. Not much happened this week, very repetitive. So funny thing from my instructor Irmão Ribeiro was, for all the men out there. He told us the secret to women so tell me if this is true or not. So he said that the prettiest part to the woman and the key to her heart is her armpit. Now he said this completely serious and let me tell you we all freakin died! So funny!
So Elder Silva, my Brazilian roommate left and much crying happened. He gave me his Spanish book of Mormon with a note from him which made me cry more and so far I've avoided talking or thinking too much about him because we were super good friends. Also I've gotten two ties from Brazilians that left which are super sick and I wish I brought all my ties that way I could have more to trade with them. One final thing, my teacher told us if we don't already have a testimony of the Book of Mormon or Joseph Smith then we should pray and be prepared to act on it. I already had a testimony but the Spirit will testify every time so I did it again and felt the same calm and peace. If you haven't ever done it or are wondering, pray because the spirit will testify.
I love you all and my emails will be longer when I'm out of the CTM.
Elder Pettingill
