    My companion and I are continuing to work hard in learning our purpose as missionaries and Portuguese. We're teaching many practice investigators and I'm really enjoying it. We even got to teach a member in Brazil over skype for about 30 minutes. Every since I've been out on the mission I've felt an added measure of strength that I haven't felt before. I know that God is helping me. The highlights of this week were going to a devotional by Quentin L. Cook last tuesday and talking to a native brasilian who only speaks Portuguese. My companion and I met a missionary from Brazil who's serving in Indiana. It's kind of funny that he's learning English to come up to the united states and that we're going Portuguese to go down to Brazil. As I've been at the MTC I've felt that Porto Alegre North, Brazil is where I need to be and I've gained a stronger testimony of the divinity of a missionary's call. I've been praying that I would get my visa so I could go straight to Brazil. Anyway, we talked with this missionary from Brazil and it was a very spiritually uplifting experience. It was incredible to see how much my companion and I could understand of what he was saying. Even when there were some words we couldn't understand, we could feel of the spirit of this person. He says the people in brazil have very strong testimonies and are willing to work hard to help the missionaries. I'm excited to go to Brazil and preach the gospel. I also learned there might be a civil war in Brazil because 49% of the people voted against their new president. That will be interesting to see how that turns out. I also got my flight plans yesterday. I'm leaving for brazil a week from tomorrow at 6:00am. That means the travel office has my visa! Que Maravilha!
