What? You mean YOU don't sing the Star Spangled Banner in the shower?

PSA: General Conference is the best thing EVER!!! I have never been so excited to sit in an uncomfortable chair for 10 hours over 2 days and listen to talks haha (they wanted the elders to listen to the Women's session as well). The amount of revelation and doctrine and helpful knowledge we can receive is nothing short of amazing! I hope you all got the opportunity to watch the sessions. If you didn't, I invite all those who read my emails to do so. Watch/listen to a talk at a time for the next few days and I promise you will receive revelation for your lives. I believe they are up on churchofjesuschrist.org. My favorite comment this conference was "God loves you no less when you struggle than when you triumph" -Dieter F. Uchtdorf. I love knowing that even when I fail, God loves me more than anything.

Next, I hope everyone was able to make a time to go to the temple and feel the Holy Ghost. It truly is the house of the Lord.

This week I had the opportunity to see more of Brazil. We went to the Campinas temple, which meant we traveled through some of the countryside of Brazil. This place is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it here! The trees, the sky, the animals, everything is so new but so amazing. I can't wait to go out in the field so I can also meet the people!

Nothing too funny happened this week, but there was this one elder belting out the Star Spangled Banner while showering two floors below us. Literally the entire building could hear it. My district was laughing pretty hard wondering what the Brazilians though of it. It was pretty entertaining.

But with that, I send my email back to the land of the free and the home of the brave (as well as France for Morgan, and any other person in another country who reads about me haha) I love you all!
