Jun 26, 2023: The final stand

 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 interested, and quite a few have gone to church

One of these people is Junior. He is really looking to change his life and ever since we met him, he stopped drinking and started the process to marry his girlfriend without us even asking

Finally we have our president leave this week and we said goodbye to him this week

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT

With all of this change that has been happening these last weeks, I just want to testify that change is uncomfortable at times, but we can make every change help our testimony of Jesus Christ grow. Look for him in the change and you will find that he is constant.

That's about it for me! Have a great week!
Elder Bradshaw

We found a ton of people, taught some great lessons and taught English class too! The most memorable moment was when we gave a lesson to a group of people about keeping the sabbath day holy! We had one friend of ours leave the room saying under his breath "this has to be the true church there's no other option" and it was really really cool. EXCHANGE #2 I also got to spend a day with one of my best ...

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...
