Hello!
This is something that I want to share with you because you have been my friends all this time.
At the ending of my mission I didn’t want to get married to soon. The reason it's because I need to feel free. My mother always told me that I was a crap and a very stupid person, and when she told me a nice thing ii means she wanted something back. That’s why every time someone said something good about me I look very suspicious. It's amazing that after all this time, you still like me, even when I was very mean to you, and only good things to say about me. This year after a long struggle with my mother I decide to live my life, she didn’t like of the fact that she does not controlling me anymore but my self esteem need.
The Lord gave me a life to live it, to love it, because I don’t want to tell in on judgment day that I was a coward. Now I feel more confident about myself and more secure about my feelings. We all have our faults but that doesn’t make us better our worse than the others, it make us special. That what I learn this year - I'm special no Mather what.
Every time that I feel down I remember you and the good things that I learn when I was serving with you.
There are lots of things about me that I can say like this, but you can be sure it makes me stronger. Now I'm studding, living my life and very happy.
There's a saying "quem vive do passado é museu" - Who lives from the past is a museum
I was very happy to be in touch with you after all this time.
THANK YOU
Love, Lucia

Oh, Lucia, good for you!! You are wonderful and special, especially to God. I don't think you were ever "very mean" to me, either. You had bad days, but so did I. I loved you because you had a great laugh, because you worked so hard, because you had such faith, because you made me laugh, because you taught with power, because you cooked like a dream, because you kept things so clean, because you spoke perfect Portuguese ;), because you were WONDERFUL. And I sure love you, still!!
So glad to hear how strong you are. That is no surprise! Know that you are wonderful and there are many people that love you, including me! Have a great day!
Querida Lucia!!
Thanks for sharing these great reflexions. It really meant a lot to me to read them and learn by your example-- of how you are constantly growing, accepting and embracing change, and living faithfully no matter what.
I liked what Janae said....you were never mean to me at all---and yes, we ALL had bad days in the mission field. I will always remember serving in your last area together in Porto. It was hard, but I know you had so much faith and that God will never forget all your sacrifices. Oh, and you always made sure to take real good care of me. (even if that meant cleaning when I didn't want to!!)
Thanks for sharing your strength and your progress !! Com muito amor, Sarah
