I feel like I'm living in a time loop here in Brasil because everyday is pretty much the same and I've been in the safe area for 6 months. But I'm still loving the mish and learning a ton. This week I hit 6 months which is crazy. I feel like I was just barely packing my bags to go to the mtc, but apparently we are already 25% of the way done. I have often found myself wishing the time away, but lately realizing that one day the end will come, I have changed my perspective a little. I still have a ton of time to learn, grow, and help the people of Recife find the gospel. So if the time goes by a little slower than that is awesome. Another awesome thing that happend was we are finally going to bapitize a mother and a son that we have been teaching for almost 5 weeks now. We normally would have stopped teaching them awhile ago, but me and my comp had a feeling that we should countinue and it work. I normally don't count my chickens before they hatch, but this is a certain ...

I wrote an email to everyone like 5 days ago and this week has been like the most basic week of my mission so it's gonna be short, but I promised my mom I'd right one haha. This week was transfers and I really wanted to stay in my area one more transfer. We are finally starting to break through with this family and  I want to see them get baptized. So last week I asked President if I could stay and it worked. I was certain that I would get transferred so this morning I packed my suitcases for tomorrow, but luckily I'm staying. So I'm about to spend more than 25% of my mission in one area and I'm hyped about it. Another cool thing that happend this week was I finishing a book of Mormon that I have been preparing just for bible bashing. I have a scripture for every single thing we teach and all the scriptures in the bible that back it up. Safe to say I'm not going to be losing any bible bashes. One spiritual thought I've had is that you can't be scared to ...

Hello everyone. Sorry I missed the last couple of emails. The last weeks have been pretty hetic between christmas, new years, and the end of the transfer coming. The last couple of weeks have definitely been slow because everyone was drunk and asleep during the holidays and now they're working twice as much to make up for it. That being said, there have been no shortage of miracles in that time. One miracle I saw was directly caused by listening in the spirit. As most of you know President told us to move houses about a week and a half ago. Well the day after new years I realized that i had forgotten a few things there. So when we were knocking doors close to the our old house, we decided to grab my things real fast. When we open the door we saw that the sliding glass door to the balcony of our apartment was completely shattered. This was super crazy because we had no clue what could have caused this. After looking for what went through the door we found a bullet that hit the metal...
