Meu Primeiro Batismo Na Minha Missão

Whats up everyone. This week was defintely filled with miracles and was awesome.
This week was pretty normal, but had a ton of highlights. 

We have one more week until transfers and I'm super bummed I'm about to lose my comp. This dude is a G. I've talked to some of his past comps that are going home soon and they said he was the best comp they had. So I might be in for it in a week haha.

This week  have definitely seen the miracles that god has promised through perseverance and effort.

This week has had no shortages of the spirit and blessings from the lord. I was able to teach an hour long english class which was awesome and I definitely received help from the spirit. While I am definitely not fluent yet, with the gift of tounges I can still accomplish the work of the lord.

We had are first baptism this week in CASA AMARELLA which was awesome. The newest member of the church, Guilherme, has had a walked a long road to the church. My comp started teaching him 4 transfers ago and we finally got him dunked. It was awesome to see the difference in him after his baptism. Before the baptism he was super mad because his mom wasnt going to come because she was literally cracked out of her mind. He continued to stay mad until after the baptism. After he was the happiest I have seen him be in the last 3 months. My comp and I were also really happy for him.

One spirtual thought I have been thinking about this week is self perseverance and discipline. We can't always change are circumstances or living conditions, but we can change our attitudes towards things. Believe me, sometimes I would definitely rather been in my air condtioned house with a car and all the other things that I took for granted, but the truth is nothing has brought the level of happiness in my life as the feeling of the spirit. While living here is definitely way different, I would so much rather feel the spirit while serving the lord than be home with worldy comforts. The only true with true meaning is through the gospel and no matter what trial or difficulty we face, if we put are heads down, work, follow the example of the savior we will feel his love and saving grace.

One more thing that we did was ate outback steakhouse today and I'm pretty sure that is what the celestial kingdom tastes like. I ate at least 3 pounds of meat and drank two liters of coke to my self. Definitely was the best food I had here so far.

Shoot me an email and I'll get back to you next pday 
Até próxima semana Vlw

Merry Christmas Everyone. It still doesnt feel like its Christmas Eve today, but whether I'm ready for it or not Christmas is coming and going. This week for me has been super busy and I have learned a lot. I went on three different divisions this week and every time I went to a different area, so I only worked in my area for about a day and a half. My first division was on Tuesday with Elder Couch. He is american and just got here 2 weeks ago, so he's still working on the portuguese. His area is more country than mine so it was super awesome. This was an awesome opportunity to put my portuguese to the test because my comp for the day didnt know anything. It was super awesome to see the progress I have made in the language and to communicate pretty much normally with everyone we taught. The next division was with our LZs. I went to their area with Elder Arce who is from Peru. He only speaks Spanish and Portuguese(or so he says haha). But I learned a lot from him. He is the most...

Melhor Pday Da Missão

This week was super awesome and we ended with the best pday of the mission so far. This week we have been preparing a family to get baptized and helping them to stop drinking coffee. As we have continued to go to their house, they have been more willing to participate in the lesson. The first week we were there the kids didn't participate much and their parents made them come listen, but after a week or two they are always the first ones sat down ready to hear the lessons. Its been super cool to see there progress and I hope we can help them be baptized this week. I went on a division this week to the lzs area again. I was able to talk to some of the people that I taught there last time which was awesome. The goal of the division was to mark as many people as possible for baptism. So the entire day the only lesson we taught was baptism, which worked. We were able to put six people on a dates for baptisms and one of them even got baptized the next day. In this division we were prett...
