Week 4, Completed and Enjoyed

Letter from Jenna, written on May 25

Ola Family!!!
Hmmm...So nothing is new. I am still waking up at 6:30 in the morning wishing I could sleep in for another 30 minutes, and I am still loving every minute here.
The language is still a struggle this week, but I humbled myself down and asked for more help...yep I got myself a tutor! Well, the MTC has one, and I am going to start using Irmao Willardson now! Yahoo! He has already helped me and my comp a ton! We learn stuff in class, but it just isn't enought. I can understand what concept is being taught about the language, but some others in the class aren't picking it up as fast...so in a circle I'm struggling. Does that even make sense? I don't know how to phrase that in 30 minutes...time is ticking!
Elder Russel M. Nelson came and spoke to us last night. That was the bomb.com! He and his wife talked a lot about being obedient...strict obedience! I think I'm already slacking on that, but I'm trying really hard not to! My comp is a huge slacker, so I feel I'm doing okay with what I'm put with. We have our moments when we would rather be away from each other, but overall we get along. I'm serving the Lord, not myself! Who cares about the emotions I'm going through, I'm focusing on the Lord. With the focus on the Lord I'll be able to pull through the hard times with the comp.
Visas are starting to come through! There were about 15 elders and sisters that headed to Brazil last week! We are praying the other visas aren't far behind. But there is something you can do to check on it! Google Brazil visa status...on the list of sites...in Portugues there should be something that says check status...fill it out. I don't have my confirmation number, so you'll have to do my birthdate and all that fun stuff! But tons of families are checking the status! Apparently Elder Jorgensen's is in processing, so his should be coming in the next few weeks!
Well fam, my time is up...I wish I had more to say, but I don't. All we do is sit in class and learn, so nothing really worth writing about, just remembering. Hmmm...yesterday we had a TRC appointment. I got to teach the second lesson to a lady. Her son died a few years ago, and even though she is a member, playing a nonmember, the spirit was so strong when we were testifying about everything! This Gospel is true! I love it! And I'm so excited that I have another 17 months proclaiming the gospel! It is going to be glorious!!! Elder Nelson said, "We follow Jesus Christ" oh how true it is! A simple yet profound message in just four words! That is what I will be proclaiming to the people of Brazil! I'm happy I made the decision to serve a mission. It is worth the time, and the exhaustion!
I love you all, and I hope you are all safe and sound. Life is good, I am good, and the mission is good.
Love,
