olá do Brasil

Hi family,
My mini mission has been going well. Today is was 84 degrees with 84% humidity. I was having some Don King issues with my hair LOL! So far I have met some interesting people and gone to some interesting places. See pic of me sharing a Book of Mormon with Pele. Also, I really enjoyed my stop at the Cathedral in Brasilia.

Seriously, so far I am living the mission rules even though it was difficult to miss my favorite TV show, The Secret Life. However, I know my testimony is growing because of this experience.

Love always,
Sister Rylee Neff

Called To Serve

In seminary this week, Rylee will be participating in a "mini-mission". So, for the entire week she will have to, as much as possible, live missionary rules.

Sister Rylee Neff was called to serve her 'mini-mission" in Brazil, Brasillia Mission. It is anticipated that she will serve for a period of one week.

There is a missionary challenge point system. There are daily points she can earn for things like daily scripture study, personal morning and evening prayer, engage in pleasant speech (this will be a real challenge for her. LOL), write to a full time missionary (since she has several cousins on missions this should be easy for her).

There are also weekly challenge points. I will highlight a few; iron 2 blouses, do 2 loads of laundry, avoid texting except to parents, write a letter of appreciation to parents (Kim and I are really looking forward to this), bear testimony to a friend.

So, going forward we thought we would use the blog for Rylee to document her "mini-mission. From this point on, all postings will be by Sister Neff.
