Eu Me Esqueci De Enviar Um Email A Semana Passada
Definitely forgot to write an email this week so this ones gonna be a little longer. That being said let's get into it.
This mission this year is focused on finding families. We had failed to do so unitl last week when we found three in the same day. We found a family of 5, 7, and 3. Its been super cool to teach them and to show them the blessings their family can receive.
One of these families went to church this week and the other two promised to come next week, so we marked all three of them for baptism. The last 2 weeks we've been teaching them the commandments and following up on how its going. So far everyone has been keeping the commandments despite some severe coffee addictions.
Besides the families weve done some other things that have been pretty dope.
#1. I went on a division with the LZs. I went to a different area for a day and learned quite a bit. We were able to mark a ton of people and practice new strategies that President wants us to try in order to find and mark quality people.
#2. On the division with the Lz's we got into one of the coolest bible bashes ever. My comp started to convince this assembly lady to let us baptized her grandkids. She then told us that the bible says we don't need to be baptized to receive salvation. To which I called bs. Then I opened my bible and started to read a scripture. I got about two words in and she said she only believes in the assembly bible. Then I asked she had a bible. She said yes. Then i asked to borrow it. She replied no. Then my comp clutched up pulled an assembly bible out of his bag and we literally obliterated her church to the point were she called two of her 40 year old neighbors to kick us out. Safe to say we won haha. They went back the next day and she decided she wanted to learn more.
#3. I decided to scrape a bat off the side of a wall with my pocket knife and almost started covid25. Bro came teeth first for my hand.
#4. We had branch conference this week. We had to invite as many people as possible to have enough to get a new chapel because ours is literally a shack. We spent the whole week finding inactives, recent converts, and new people to come to church. This has probably been the week were I've been the most annoying, but consistent about getting people in the church. And it paid off. We went from a frequency of 30 people to 83 people. About 3/4 through sacrament the 2nd counselor texted me and said we only need three more people to get a bigger chapel. Me and my comp found some recent converts that lived a mile away. We ran there in like 6 minutes and called a car to take us back to the church. We got there just in time which was awesome.
#5. We got roped into buying dinner for a family of 7. We went to visit a family and about half way through she told us that she had placed an order and we had to go pick it up and pay for it out of nowhere. We came back to their house and made them promise to go to church. And they didnt. So they've better repent or they going to the one place thats hotter than Recife Brazil.
#6. I ate chicken feet. On Sunday we had lunch with the branch President again. And he had a huge pot of chick stew. I got about half way through eating and I realized that I hadn't seen Presidents chickens that are usually running around the house. So obviously I asked where the chickens were. He then started laughing and told me we were eating them, but he said mostly just the feet. He was right. I had three chicken feet in my bowl of stew.
Pdays about over and I cant think of anything else so thats a wrap.
Até próxima semana
