Mar 31, 2023: Temple time

 So. Today we went to the temple! It was really really amazing not gonna lie. For anyone who's not been able to go for a while I challenge you to make an appointment and go. 

Other than that these weeks have been great!! I'll give a quick rundown

The WORK

We've been working a tooooon and that's been awesome! Found a lot of new people who are all progressing really well and we hope to continue to find more. I'd you can all pray for Vinicius, terezinha, and lucas thats awesome!!! We've been on the grind with these three for a while and they've all got Baptism dates. Pray that they will have force to take the step! 

The COMP

We've had a great time together me and my trainer. It's so funny to see the difference that I've had in my Mish so far and how far I've come. I hope to keep progressing like I have until the last day of my mission. It's been fun to see him prepare to go home and start the next phase of his life, especially knowing that in a few short months it'll be me haha. 

So basically I've only got 3 days until my next pday so I'ma leave some stuff to write then. But I want yall to know that I love you!

SPIRITUAL MOMENT
I had a great experience in the temple today. It was impressed on me the importance of personal study. I can speak for 100% certainty saying that every time we study we WILL find things about Christ and how we can become more like him. That will be what propulsions our days and weeks and months and years. So keep doing it!

Have a great general conference!!!

  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...

And it was super awesome yall should take the time to do it EXCHANGE #1 My first exchange was with Elder Brito we spent 2 days getting on the grind together and it was fun! 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...
