6 Meses Na Melhor Missão No Mundo

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 thing. We have had interviews, signed papers, and everything. I'm super excited to baptize this family because they kinda feel like my family at this point. We have vist them every single day for 35 days and I know them super good. Its super awesome to make relationships with people through the gospel.

Today we had the opportunity to go to the temple and do baptisms. We took our recent convert with us and he entered the temple and baptized both of us. It was a super spiritual and emotional experience to see the change in his life after his baptism and throughout his progression in the church.

Here are some cool things that happend this week:
-Taught a lady with 22 dogs
-Snuck 5 pounds of meat out of outback steakhouse 
-Called a serial killer that supposedly killed 10 people
- and burned all the cockroachs in our house alive

This week was defintely super slow but we had a lot of awesome moments. Shoot me and email and I'll respond on pday.

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...
