In the field from Mission Office

Dear Rhodes Family,

Thank you so much for sending us such a wonderful missionary.

He met with President and Sister Bangerter, met his new companion and already started working hard in his new area.

We wanted to send you some pictures of his special first day in the mission.  We all love his beautiful smile.






Location: Piracicaba - State of São Paulo, Brazil

Service in the acorn field and the monkey.

Image
This week we were asked to work in acorn field of a member and I liked that a lot. We spent a long part of the day working on the farm and then they fed us some super good food. We also went back to that big rock that we went last week, we took a few of the other elders and sister there. A little while back we also went to a large statue of Christ that sites on top of a hill.  It's not the famous one in Brazil, but still famous. On the way to the statue, I was able to get this monkey to take a treat from me. Other that that we had a good week and found some good people. Nicolly will get baptized next week on Sunday. We had some good lessons with her this week. She will for sure to get baptized.  I'm excited that at the end of this week I will probably have a new Zone leader that ill be training.

Yep, we were robbed and btw it's Christmas.

I was transferred to poços de caldas and the zone has a little bit of difficulty so hopefully I'll be able to help them out a bit.

We had our mission conference of Christmas which was cool. One funny thing that happened is that we woke up today and the front door and the garage door were wide open and there was a bunch of stuff missing from the living room and there was mud on the floor. We got robbed, a backpack, a board game, headphones that were brand new and a guitar lol. We called president and they might move houses because this is the second time lol. But we are all ok. A cool experience is that there is a guy in this area that has what Steve Hawking has about the muscles stopping to work and he is paralyzed, but he can move his tongue a little and his wife understands him. I felt the spirit real...

Set a new record while having another dog encounter!

We set a new record here in this area for investigators in the sacrament meeting with 12. That was a huge blessing and we felt really good. I stayed in the same area with my same companion again. Elder Gonzales was transferred to Hortalandia for his last transfer here in the mission. Ary and his wife came to the church building Saturday night to see it and we took them on a tour before they would come on Sunday. They were having an activity with the young single adults and all of the returned missionaries grabbed them dance and they loved it. They then went to church the next day and absolutely loved it. They then asked us if there baptism was still on and we were like of course it is lol. They also gave us references of there 2 daughters that are married and live in our area. We visited one and she cried also, she felt the spirit very strongly and said that she will start going to church as well. Ary and Dezilda also said that they were going to take their parents to church, lol. ...
