Hey so this week was a really good one!! We had a lot of
time to work in our own area and that was really nice. We found and
taught lots of less actives and found lots of new people. We confirmed
lots of people to go to church with us but we were only able to take a
few. It was a little sad but as i have learned here on the mission you
have to count the small victories even if they are small. haha.
We
took a less active lady to church from São Paulo. I think she is like
60 years old. We call her grandma. haha. Its super funny cause she yells
at us all the time so we yell back at here. Like on Sunday
she was taking forever to come out of the house and we just stood
outside yelling at here to hurry up and that we were going to leave her.
hahaha. She is pretty funny. We also took some girls who actually went
by themselves which isnt something tha happens every sunday.
haha. They are really good. They are 24 and 25. You find here that
girls take life way more seriously than the guys. Not always but a lot
of the time it is that way. Then the couple who we are helping get the
papers to they can get married also went. They are seriously the coolest
people. They are a young couple and they LOVE it when we teach them.
Cardim the husband is such a stud. He has incredible questions and
understands things of the gospel so well. The book of Mormon is helping
out a lot. Its great. I am pretty tired and working in this super hot
sun is difficult but the people that we find each day and the others
that we are working with make it all worth it.
This week we
will travel to a city called Itabuna to do a split with some
missionaries. I am pretty excited. I have already been to the city
because it is super close to Ilhéus, where I was serving. But I have
never had the chance to actually work there.
Thanks for the
birthday wishes. We were able to work really hard on my birthday even
though I was pretty dang sick. President and Sister were traveling so I
didnt get a cake....haha. Because if you are a missionary in Salvador
then they will buy a HUGE cake and take it to your house for you. But
they were in the interior traveling so they called and sand to me. Last
year they were also traveling....its okay. Next year maybe I will get a
birthday cake. haha.
So i heard BYU is having troubles and
lots of injuries....thats super sad. They were doing really well. I feel
really bad for Taysom. I hope he is doing well.
Dang the
family pictures and the pictures of my nieces and nephews is super great
to see. I seriously have an urge to grab them and kiss their cheeks. I
miss those babies!!! Everyone will be at my homecoming and leave the
babies at the house until I go to BYU to make up for the two years I
didnt have with them. haha.
I hope you all are doing well. I miss you guys. Love you!! Have a great week!!
