Hello!



 Hi Everyone,

It have been at the MTC for about two-and-a-half weeks so far. We have been working at learning the Portuguese language and talking to "investigators", such as a man named Carlos. We get to learn about their background and really focus on what they need. It has been quite an experience. It's hard at times because I know a lot of Spanish and start speaking it to the investigators or other missionaries. It seems to be a common problem around here lol, but I am getting better at it.

Our district is wonderful. We always have testimony meetings at the end of the day and get to learn about peoples' thoughts and insights from the devotionals. We go to the Marriott Center sometimes to do choir, which is fun. I love the choir director. He is so funny but also a wonderful story teller.

I am supposed to leave on October 7th and am thinking that I might be going stateside since I haven't heard anything about my visa- but you never know. I am supposed to be singing with the other sister missionaries in the General Relief Society Conference, so that will be very exiting :)

I hope everyone is doing well. I send my love!

Best,
Sister Habibpour

Intro

Parrin Habibpour is serving in Brazil. She asked me to keep a blog for her of the letters she sends out, so I will be posting them. Let me warn you - I have NO IDEA how to blog! I'm sure you will be able to tell. Sorry for all the mistakes I'm sure I will make. I hope you can at least read her letters. When I get more information about how to contact her I will post it. Thank you for being patient with me as I figure out how to blog.
