Oct 26, 2022: New Area

 Hello family and friends happy Wednesday! As the title says, I am in a new area, Niterói 2! It is a very cool place, and although sad to leave maricà I am also very happy to be here in Niterói! We are working a ton to build up the teaching pool and to find everyone we can to keep learning the gospel! We are working on building the ward in the center of Niterói, and also a little group here close to our house that they want to turn in to a branch and eventually a ward. The stake president came to talk to us a bit about it, and it was very cool. We are just gonna get out there and keep grinding it out and we'll continue to see miracles every day!



One thing that our ZL said that I liked a lot was about how a baptism, while both incredibly spiritual and important, is not something mystical or mysterious, but something that can become a regular part of the lives of members and missionaries. For members we can go to the temples, and help on the other side of the veil. As missionaries we can help the members to see how we can help people progress to make this covenant on this side of the veil. It's such an amazing thing that we can't let it be rare. It needs to be a part of our lives, and I agree with that! 


If you guys would like to help, we would love your prayers that we will be able to find new people, and also for

Chayanne,

Hilton

The family Santos,

And luiz fernando.


I love you all, have a great week and see you next time!

  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...
