May 1, 2023: Work we must

 elloooo friends! How're yall doing? This week was one more good week here in Rio!


This week passed pretty fast and was really good, but it was a very average week in terms of what we did, so this'll probably be a fast email haha. But let's go ahead and share some of the fun stuff shall we?

LIGHTNING ROUND

We lost power for like 3 days so that was a big RIP

The guys from the power company came and had to fix our apartment

We had an exchange where we had 2 trios for a day in São Gonçalo and Mutuá

Taught a fun restoration to a pastor evangelical, he seemed to like it haha

I learned to do a wheelie in a wheelchair

Learned savior redeemer of my soul on the piano

Jammed to Disney music at night with my comp

Invited someone from our inglês class to baptism.

Walked a hecking lot hahahaha

Made cake for our zone that was actually pretty decent

Found, reactivated, taught and helped lots of people this week!

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT
Guys life is better when you're happy and have a positive attitude. I learned last transfer from my comp that being happy is ALWAYS a choice. I know that when we choose to do what my mom always said and CHOOSE JOY we will be happier and pass through life closer to God and Jesus Christ! Choose joy yall!

Sorry I forgot to take pictures again this week but next week I'll get some.

Much love!

  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...

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...
