June 22nd 2015

(Editors Note: these pictures were randomly taken from another sisters blog.. that sister has now been transfered out of Carly's area so they are old... but thought I'd include them anyways :))

HEY THERE FAMILIAAAAAAAAA WHAT IT IS HERE FROM THE WONDERFUL CIDADE OF GAIA IN THE PAIS OF PORTUGAL

I have exactly 0 minutes to type this so itll be quick but basically:
  - First off FREAKING CONGRATS to my sister cause she is all GETTING MARRIED. WOHOOOO THAT IS PRETTY COOL GOOD FOR HER YAY
  - This week has been pretty chill honestly so not too much to tell. We had an inspection on Tuesday so we ended up having to spend the whole day in the house cleaning which, without Beyonce, is kind of the biggest drag on the planet. Also we have been teaching Avelino a bunch which is great and all, but it also means going to Xecas house a lot which means accidentally staying like 5 hours in her house and eating lots of food and listening to Enya. MISSIONARY WORK
   - No but really SPEAKING OF AVELINO HE IS THE COOOLESTTTTTTT. You can seriously see the Lord PREPARES people for this message! Avelino has known about all this for 8 years or so now... But he has been prepared specifically for this moment and is just SO willing to accept everything. And his progress is SO COOL TO SEE. A month ago he had never prayed before in his life, and now he volunteers to pray every time we go over. CHURCH IS TRUEEEEEEEEE. Hes getting baptized on Friday and we could not be more excited, especially since what this really means is he and Xeca will get sealed in the temple soon. WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
   - We had a conference yesterday and it was such a festa but it was also pday but also friends were there and we learned a lot and we had to say goodbye to sweet sweet President and Sister Fluckiger. We gonna miss themmmmm
   - ELDERS SHOULDNT PLAN ACTIVITIES. They were in charge of the one on Friday and luckily a 14 year old rapaz came in clutch with some magic tricks but yep, put the sisters in charge of things. ALWAYS



   - We had dinner with Andre yesterday cause he is moving back to Brazil (BIG BIG FROWNY FACE) but basically he cooked something African with some sort of African spice (pidi pidi?? Dont quote me on this) that you are not supposed to eat only no one told me you arent supposed to eat it and I LITERALLY died. Almost on the ground, coughing and dying and generally being in SO MUCH PAIN. And this was with 6 other elders and Andre. So classy.


Okay love yall lots! All the love to the happy couple and to the rest of you crazy kids. FIQUEM BAM FAM. LOVE FROM PORTUGAL
