Brazil backwards starts with Liza!

^unfortunately i didn´t participate in the mattress dominoes but during a lesson i witnessed it on tv so i guess that's a close second. It was a world record so i thought you all shoud know. I probs should've been paying attention to the lesson buttttttt... This week we had splits and I got to be with another american sister and we spoke english for like 30 minutes at night and I legitimately felt guilty for speaking the language i have been speaking for the last 18 years of my life. But some highlights from splits was that we got free açaí from this random bar and we went to this fathers day ward activity that was super cheesy and hilarious. Then after the activity we bought more acai from a different place bc the first time was free. Just two americans eating acai and walking around random neighborhoods. Good times.  On tuesday i taught yoga for relief society which was the most hilarious thing of my entire life. The ladies were absolutely dying and my companion was t...

So this week my companion decided to put a face mask on me bc she is really concerned that I don´t use make up and we had zone conference so she really needed me to try a little. Clearly i wasn´t going to, so she personally put a face mask on me and then we did a little workout and i took it off and my face was all splotchy and red and puffy. SO, we said a prayer bc what else do you do. luckily god loves me and my face looked as normal as it can for zone conference.  My companion had to give a training and I had to help her which was embarrassing bc I sound like a child trying to speak portuguese.

Love you allllllll muito muito muito!  Sister Barton _________________________ 8.5.19: The Mint Green Shoes Era is Over i am now officially a teva wearing americana who is aprendendo {learning}  portuguese so por favor falar mais devagar {please speak slowly} . I made it out of the CTM just in time to realize that as soon as something is gone you realize how good it was. I made some really good friends there and it was pretty nice to have everyone understand me when i was trying to talk to them. but guess that might happen again at some point.  My first area is Guarujá. its a tiny little area outside of santos and you can take a ferry boat across to get to it. im not sure if it wa...
