Great Coincidence and English, what's that?

17 March 2014
Mission Week 40, Brazil Week 34

     Well, another week spent working in the mission field. This week was good. Sunday was a little frustrating, but there were good things as well. 
     This week we finally went to teach a contact that we had made a few weeks back. As we were talking with him, he asked us if we used our own Bible. We explained to him about the Bible and the Book of Mormon, and he said, "I have one of those!" I asked him if he could get his copy of the Book of Mormon, and he brings out a copy with my name in it with Sister C. We had taught a friend of his a while back, that we thereafter lost contact with. His friend gave him the book because he didn't have time to read it. It gets better. This guy is already in Mosias (Mosiah-slk)! He then started to explain the story of Nephi, etc. to us almost perfectly. Anyway, that was interesting.
     This week at church we had an American visiting. He was here on business and didn't speak any Portuguese. It was surprisingly hard to speak in English with him. I kept unwillingly switching back to Portuguese. I promise that I'm not forgetting my native tongue! It just feels weird. My poor brain.
    lots of love!!
