New
area - Monumento is beautiful!! It´s got a lot of museums and old
buildings and lots of skyscrapers. Way different from Poá, but still
beautiful. It reminds me of downtown D.C. or Boston or somewhere like
that. It´s been a little hard because when I got here, they didn´t have
many investigators, which was a lot different than my last area. But God
is blessing us a ton, and we have an elect family that we´re teaching
now, so I´m excited about that!
New ward - I´m
in one of the oldest wards in Latin America! The chapel is huge! It
reminds me of some of the bigger chapels in Utah that have that 70´s
style, with really geometric design and lots of medium-stained wood.
There are lots of members here, and they are in general on the wealthier
side. The members seem really nice. I´m excited to get to know them all
better.
New companion - Sister Rechetinicou
and I are surprisingly similar. I think we´re gonna get along really
well. I have a lot to learn from her :)
New
house - although the house itself is dirty and a cramped, I´m getting
used to it now, so it´s all good. We live on a really nice, enclosed
street, which is really comforting. And we live with the Sisters of Vila
Mariana, which is really fun. They´re super sweet. It´s a little tough
sometimes living with three Brazilians, just because I don´t always have
the same things to talk about, but they´re really inclusive and kind to
me.
New calling - whew. I still have no idea
what I´m doing. But that´s okay :) I helped with the training of the new
missionaries and trainers on Tuesday and it went well I think. And now we´re planning for the big monthly leadership council which will be happening this Friday.
Prayers are welcomed ;) It´s been cool getting to work more closely
with President and Sister Silcox. I feel very honored to be learning
firsthand from them.
New p-day - Ha! That was a
joke because I don´t have a p-day now, but I still get to to talk to
y-all, so that´s what is most important. We stay at the office all day
on P-days. But we still have fun...for example, today we´re going to
play volleyball with the assitants and secretaries...I get to put my mad
MTC volleyball skills to use once again ;)
Basically,
that´s all the news in my life. I miss you all very much. I know that
Heavenly Father hears our prayers and answers them. He wants us to
succeed. He´s happy when we do. :) So take courage!! It´ll all work out
:)
All my love,
Sister Doyle
