"I am your Father"

So this week had a lot of ups and one really big down. The ups were that i was able to go to Presidents house and pick up my companion which was awesome. He has been a member for 1 year, he is from Fortaleza and he is a really good missionary.



He trusts me a lot and was having a lot of trouble in the CTM with wanting to go home. We had a nice talk this week and he told me that he wasn't going to think about going home anymore because I helped him find his purpose. He trusts me a lot and I'm learning a lot from him, and its giving me a good chance to learn how to do everything in the mission. We are having a good time and we are getting a lot of work done. I'm just glad that I'm able to help someone because the work here is going really slow.

I saw Mari and Alice this week when we went to Piracicaba to get my companion, they are doing well and have been called as visiting teachers for a less active family in the ward. That is Awesome! They are doing well.

The worst part of the week; we found out that Sheila(our old investigator from Piracicaba central) died, and that her 5 year old daughter, Bianca is living with her grandma who's husband also died this past month. Bianca will not go live with Socrates. I am really sad because of this. I spent a lot of time working with their family and I spent a lot of time playing with Bianca. We got a hold of President; so me and Elder Costa are going to pay a visit to her tomorrow.

Today we had a chance to climb a mountain it was cool. We saw some longhorns, a ton of massive spiders, a toucan and a really rare bird that I forget the name of. Also, we saw a ton of big hornets nests. It was pretty cool.



We had a good week, and glad that you guys did too. Love all of you guys.

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. ...
