Ola ola todos!!
Somos muito bem qui em a MTC! Eu amou o Espirito eu sinto aqui e muito divertida e me ajuda crescer muito. Eu amou Portugues tambem! E muito divertida e interesante!
Hey everyone! I miss you all so so much! I hope everyone's doing well.
This week has been kinda crazy! I gave my first TRC lesson last monday night shortly after I sent out my last group email. It started off really sketch because I spaced all the Portuguese and for some reason I could not put together a coherent thought in Portuguese haha! Our second round of TRC teaching was sooooo much better though and we were able to understand everything she said in Portuguese and we were able to get to know her and teach her about the Gospel in Portuguese as well! It was the coolest thing ever like seriously the Gift of Tongues is real!
For those of you who don't know... TRC is a program where volunteers come into the MTC and act as people who we teach in our mission languages. It's super great practice because we meet them, get to know them, learn about things they're going through Spiritually or just in their life, and then we give them a Spiritual thought or teach them about the Gospel. This is actually such an amazing experience because TRC volunteers act as themselves even though they're speaking in Portuguese but we genuinely try to help them know that God loves them and that Christ died for them. I'm so grateful for TRC lessons because it is the closest we can get to real life teaching in Portugal.
We get to teach another 2 TRC investigators tonight which I'm excited for!
I met my third cousin this week haha! He's a Portuguese teacher at the MTC and his nametag Irmao Cannon so we took a picture and looked up how we're related and YEP! Turns out we're third cousins... we even look alike haha!
Sister Weathers left this morning along with so many other friends but I know they’re gonna be amazing missionaries out in the field:,)
My district is the coolest! Our zone had Italian, Romanian, and Portuguese speakers but all the Italian speakers left early this morning. But we have a brand new batch of Italian missionaries coming in on Wednesday so that's super exciting! This past Wednesday we had a new Elder join our district. His name's Elder Lui and he's from Utah. He'll be serving in Rio de Janeiro Brazil and he's the coolest!
This past week it's been really rainy but when the sun finally came out, we went and played sand volleball at the fields which was a blast! Despite our busy schedules, we still have time to go have fun and play volleyball or soccer! Honestly, the MTC is so fun and all the friends I've made here are so awesome!
Spiritual thought:
Jesus Christ suffered all the pains and afflictions so that we wouldn't have to. If we have faith in Him and we look to Him, He will walk with us always so that we don't have to suffer. I'm so grateful for Christ's example because He ALWAYS turned outward. When He suffered from hunger, pains and afflictions, and even betrayal, Christ always turned outwards and thought of others. He is such a good example to me and to everyone. Look up the talk "One by One" by David A. Bednar! It is soooo uplifting!
I love you all--have a great week! Please email me I would love to hear from everybody!
Te amou,
Sister Cannon
Also, I was made a Sister training zone leader so that’s pretty neat
