Door knocking

This week was really good, I'm not really sure how the phone calls will go. This is a lot more effective for the missionaries that have Ipads and things like that.

This week all we did was knock doors all day everyday. Kind of sucked, but we found a ton of people. Turns out when you knock doors for a week straight you are bound to find at least a couple halfway decent people to teach. 

We knocked on this one door and this guy named Dan came to the door and was like, come on in guys. He is around our age and he is married with a daughter and he is super sweet. We talked with him a good while shared a short message and then came back the next day and taught the restoration for him and his wife. They liked it a lot and they gave us dinner afterwards. The food was really good and we already have a really good friendship with them which is really weird because you do not normally find anyone like that when you are knocking doors. It is super rare for that to happen so we are thinking they are gonna get thrown in the water this transfer. ;)  

We also found a couple other good families and one of them actually came to church this Sunday after being taught the first lesson. Elder De Lima is funny he looks at like the weirdest person on the street and is like we can baptize that person, which is good but he is going a little crazy because he hasn't baptized anyone in a while and its hilarious.


Things are going well here. Elder Costa is my Zone Leader now and so we did a division this week and I went with him and it was super fun. He was definitely my best companion. I miss working with him every day.  We have a good relationship and he is super funny. Glad he was my trainer.


I will try to call next week on this computer we will see if it has a microphone. Love you guys hang in there; have a great week

Service in the acorn field and the monkey.

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. My companion is Elder Matias from pernumbuco and he has 1 year and 7 months on the mission. He is cool, we will have to talk a little more about obedience but i think it will be ok. 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. ...
