Eating chicken feet🐓

Hey y'all! I had one of the best weeks of mission this week! One of the friends we met this week is a family of artists. The dad and his 8-year old son are super artistic and they were showing us all their projects, and I am dumb because I forgot to take pictures, but I'll get some for you guys next week if possible! Truly though, this 8-year old draws better than I do by leaps and bounds. It is super cool to see the talents that people are developing.

I ate a chicken's foot this week and let me tell you, it was really strange. I didn't think there was anything to eat off of a chicken's foot, but I was wrong. You eat everything but the bone, skin and cartilage and all. It took me a solid 5 minutes to get everything off the bone, but it was a cool experience! I don't know if I liked it or not, to be honest, but I would try it again if asked.

Today I want to talk about repentance. We teach this concept to a lot of people as missionaries, and sometimes I forget exactly how amazing this gift is. However, in those quiet moments of prayer, it is shown to me time and time again. I want to bear my testimony about this. Repentance is real and it is essential. The purpose of this life is to learn, and in learning we are going to fail. However, as we use this loving gift that a loving Father gave us, we do not need to fear these mistakes. We will grow, we will learn, we will win this battle for our eternal lives! I love the repentance process so much!

I didn't know that Brazil had foggy days, but we woke up to this, so I guess I was wrong haha
