Sao Paulo Interlagos, Brazil Mission!

Well dear bloggy-blog. I figured this is as good a time as any to make a real post. I am going to Sao (with a little accent thing above the o but that's not happening any time soon) Paulo Brazil!

...

OH MY GOODNESS!

It hasn't really hit me yet. The experience is still very out-of-body as if i'm talking about some girl I know only THAT girl is ME. Brazil? BRAZIL? I thought for sure I was staying in the red, white and blue speaking la english but alas my Heavenly Father had a vastly different plan for me. But what's new right?

I thought this mission thing would be hard of course, I mean that's the whole point right? I get it. But speaking Portuguese?! No my friend, that is a horse of an entirely different color. I mean i'm a strong girl, I thought "sure it will be hard but I can do it", now i'm not so sure (as if I have a choice).

So there you have it; I am just beyond grateful for amazing friends, roommates and family members who support me and went well out of their way to make this moment special for me. It was oh so special!

So i'll let this sink in.... gee whiz! Brazil? (ya I keep saying that) Someone needs to pinch me.

I Blog Therefore I am

I am new to the blogging world which is why nothing is very exciting or pretty or near any kind of perfect. Over the last little while I have found so much pertinent information from sister missionary blogs. It is an addiction, I need information. I figured I should also start a blog... kinda premature but once an idea takes place in my mind the earnest part of me can't stop thinking about it.

So here it is, my adventure into LDS mission-hood. I am excited beyond imagination. I turn my papers in officially on Sunday and I could not be any happier.
