Mom!!! I love you!!! Thank you for this email. Something is starting to change within me. I feel purpose here in Portugal. I am doing my best every day, but something has been changing recently. things are clicking finally in many aspects. I am so grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ. I have started praying to better understand, and just express gratitude for the atonement. Sometimes, but rarely, change is de repent... rapido, quick... but most times it is through the process that the change starts to occur. I have been searching throughout my whole mission to see the rapid magical change that i think i always imagined just happens in missionaries. But, it doesn´t work that way. i am grateful that finally i really am beginning to understand that i really have been learning all along the way. In the beginning, i was so full of pride, so full of pride. But through various experiences, i have been compelled to be humble, and sometimes i have remebered to be humble. THis mission is just like every one said, too hard to describe with words. I am so grateful that i am here. thank you for your constant love and support, and prayers. i feel your love always. I had a dream last night with family members :) i am so grateful that we are an eternal family!!
