Sept 28, 2022: I don't even remember where we're at anymore

 Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! Hope everyone's well and that you're all having a great week! I'm gonna be honest i don't even remember what I have written in these letters and not, so ima put some random stuff from the last few weeks that happened! These last weeks have been a huge acceleration of the work here in Maricá! We've been recieving tons of references from members and online, and we are putting our traveling time to the limits with how many busses we are taking each day to teach all these people. Literally I don't remember the last time that we scheduled time to contact on the street, cause its been so busy. On the bus we do a ton but on the street it's been a sec. With all that work, we met an elect of the Lord! Ana Paula and Stefany were baptized last week, a grandma and her granddaughter, they are super awesome! It was a super great experience for everyone involved!

Also we had some good discussions and lessons with some of our friends, and there are 3-4 people who are really progressing on the road to baptism!

If you guys could pray for these people, it would be awesome!

Other than that this week I've been doing some exchanges with other missionaries which was fun! One went super well and the other was a bit more rough but I learned a lot in each one for sure.

I think that's about it for the week! Love you all!

  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...
