Feliz Novembro!!! Hope everyone’s got fun end of year plans. This week was pretty tiring, just lots of walking and lots of sun. 

Anyways, one story from this week. We live in an apartment of 4 sisteres: 

• Sister Alves (Brasileira)

• Sister Southam (Utahn)

• Sister Motuga (Samoan)

• Sister Grace (Utahn)

While walking to a meeting about 45 minutes away we were discussing all the great groups of 4 in history and deciding who we all were. The one that fit best were the Peguins of Madagascar. 

• Skipper: S. Alves

• Kawasaki: S. Southam

• Rikko: S. Motuga 

• Private: S. Grace 

Am I upset with the arrangement? Only slightly. My companion, Rikko, loves it though. All week when we lose energy or our contacts are down she goes “Rikko Mode” and just starts talking to everybody and everything. 

Here’s a quick scripture I liked: “And again I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of the angel. And behold, I say unto you that if ye do this ye shall always rejoice, and be filled with the love of God, and always retain a remission of your sins; and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true.” (Mosiah 4: 11-12)

Gotta blast,

Tchau Tchauuu
