July 24, 2023: A marvelous work and a wonder

 Hello friends and family this week was a good week! We worked a lot, like a lot, and it was awesome! I'll give just a quick rundown today!


PDAY 
Last pday was zone pday and we made tacos with the zone. It was fun and I learned how to make tortillas so when I get home I'll have a new trick up my sleeve hehe. We also got to play some fun games like scum and skull King.

HARD AT WORK
This week we had the opportunity to find and teach some amazing new people. We found Edson through a media referral and he is reading the book of Mórmon a lot, so please pray for him. We found Hildebrando through his mom who stopped us on the street, and he is super shy but is willing to come unto christ. Please pray for them all.

BATISMO
Not ours, but the other companionship in our branch baptized a man names Sergio, he's really awesome, we are excited to have him in our branch!

ZONECONF
We also had zone conference this week with President and sister Dutson! It was really good about diligence. We left the conference super pumped to find and teach new people and that was pretty awesome. There was one moment in the conference where they turned everyone loose on the streets to find someone which was fun haha. There were like 40 missionaries going outside to talk to people and everywhere you looked there was a group of missionaries talking to someone. Good stuff

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT
This week I have challenged myself to learn d&C section 4 completely. As I have done this I have gained a greater testimony of the marvelous work and wonder that is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I know that the work is guided by God. I know that the church of Jesus Christ has the true doctrine and that Christ is at the head. If you know this, live by it. If you don't know, do your absolute best to find out. Cause in the last day we'll be judged for what we know and what we don't. So keep going.

Love you all alot! Have a great couple of weeks and I'll see yall soon!

  Hello friends and family happy Monday! I hope you're all doing super well. Sorry about not getting an email out last week, but I'll try to recapitulate what I missed. Also a fair warning that the emails might be a bit shorter than they have been but I promise to send a monster when I get home. These last two weeks have been full of miracles and some good times, so ima just give a lightning round! LIGHTNING ROUND We had 2 of the best lunches of my mission last week. The first was a churrasco with some members from the south that was delicious. The second was humongous beef filets with mashed potatoes. It was amazing I'm staying here in saquarema for my last transfer with my comp Elder Donato, we're excited to keep pushing it We got a new housemate, Elder Lima, and he's freaking cool, he's 26 and served in the armed forces for 8 years.  We did a monster hike this pday of about 10 miles round trip. We have been working a ton! We found lots of people who are inter...

Apr 24, 2023: Scavenger Hunt 2.0

 So there's a list of names and addresses of members in our ward. But this list is at least 5-10 years old. Our bishop was a bit worried about this, so we offered to help a little bit! And let's just say it's been probably the biggest scavenger Hunt of my life hahahaha.  With a little map and a ton of effort we've been able to find and teach many many inactive members. It has been really awesome not going to lie. We have lots and lots of desire to help these people return to activity in the church and help them continue along the covenant path! Anyway let's highlight some of the best moments! EXCHANGESSS This week I has the opportunity to stay with a brand new missionary Elder de Jesus! It was way fun haha. We actually got our phone stolen on that day too so that was an interesting story, but after that we just went out with paper and pencil and went finding. I helped him learn some new ways to contact and teach and it was a blast! We also went to see a family who h...
