Nov 30, 2022: Surprise!

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! How yall doing today? This week was pretty good, we had a normal week right up until the end, cause on Sunday night we had transfers! To our surprise we learned that we would both be transfered and the area would be white washed! But we weren't transfered very far. My new area is in the same zone, an area called Barreto, and my new comp is Elder Nobre! I'm excited excited be here, this area has a good feeling to it and I'm super excited to work with all the members and my new comp here. 

The rest of the week was very cool too. On Sunday we had the baptism of an awesome family, the family Chacon, and the two kids chose me to baptize them so it was a really cool experience. They are a family that have progressed a ton with the sisteres, and even just being able to meet them a little bit in the last few weeks has been awesome. 

Other than that, we had a normal week, me and my comp were a little under the weather, but we're feeling better now so that's good, we were able to work a ton and have as many lessons as possible, getting the area ready for the new Elders! 

I don't have much more this week, but I love you all lots, hope you all had a good Thanksgiving, and that yall have a great week!

  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...
