Week 5 (One more week!)

Bom dia! I am so glad that I can speak to the wonderful person that you are! How was your week? Did you make anyone smile or laugh? I bet you did, you make me smile and I know that this world is pretty good with you in it, obrigado! 

This week was pretty normal and normal looks like this... LOTS of language study, 6ish hours of class a day, tons of smiles and trials, jokes about everything, lunch and dinner with my mom, and a movie a day. There were two things that were different. First, it was national Root Beer Float day on Thursday. We celebrated this day with my grandparents, but before we got them we had to earn them by scraping paint off the old deck. Why are grandparents just the best?! My cousin and I are both serving.  Matt leaves to Dallas Texas this week!  We got to celebrate being missionaries with my other wonderful grandparents, and see Matt with his family one last time. I love families!
Second, we are getting prepared for this final week and it is hitting us that some of us will be in the field in a week or two. This increased our want for the weekend to come, and by Friday we were exhausted. We were laughing at everything, like when you stay up later and someone could say anything and you start laughing.

Before I end this email, I want to share something that touched me deep in my heart this week. We were reading about Adam and Eve, and while we were reading I was thinking about my agency but mostly about my family. This is what we read...
And Eve, his wife, heard all these things and was glad, saying: Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed, and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient. (Moses 5:11) If Adam and Eve didn't partake of the fruit nothing would have changed in for them. They would have never known good because they didn't know evil. I am so grateful to have a family and it is all because God. God has a plan for us and my favorite title for that plan is, O Plano de Felicidade. I am SO happy that I am on this earth and you on here too. You have a purpose and I do too. 

Thanks for your time and the marvelous spirit you bring to this earth! Tchau Tchau!! 

Love,
Elder Quiring

  How are ya doing on this fine Monday afternoon? I'm starting to love Texas and figure out the wonderful things about it, and the things that I take for granted back home.  I'm understanding what's like to live with other young adults. My comps are amazing but everyone has their imperfections and that's what makes us human. My trainer is just in a bad mood like 20 hrs of the day, but the other 4 hrs he is hilarious. You know that I am a clean freak, and man am I learning patience with others haha. God works in mysterious ways to improve ourselves and see the good in life. Can I just say, shopping for food is so rewarding when completed. Thank you mom for always buying my groceries. WE ARE TEACHING A NEW PERSON! His name is Jimmy and he is from Africa. In the first lesson, we were able to teach about the whole Restoration. He is such an amazing person.

HELLO! First I wanna start off by apologizing for not sending out any emails for the previous 3 weeks. Haha! How is everyone doing? I am loving this MTC experience. Being able to get taught by some of the best people from Brazil is special. Then, being able to share that with my family and friends in person just makes it that much better. Y'all always bring me joy! We all are experiencing new things with this pandemic, so keep up the uplifting mood y'all show me. I hope you all are having a wonderful day and go achieve those August goals!  Exciting news for me... I am going to serve the people of Fort Worth, Texas until I can go to Brazil! I love Texas so much and I am super pumped for this interesting mission experience that I get to serve. I will keep y'all up to date weekly from now on, I promise hehe.  Now I will talk about my MTC experience. My companion is LEGENDARY, and his name is Elder Stone. Arizona is where he is. He is very chill and I wish you could meet...
