Elder Rhodes Missionary Experiences while serving the Brazilian people

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...

Unfortunately the baptisms fell threw because of their catholic grandma that talked a bunch of trash to them that was not cool. We talked to them yesterday and set things straight so it should go well here soon. Its all good. We were able to mark 5 more baptismal dates this week. We had 11 but a couple fell on Sunday. Zone conference was a success, we had a lot of people learn from the training that was given. At the zone conference some people started trash talking that Brazilians were more athletic than Americans. So we got a little bet going and decided we would play three sports. Basketball, soccer and volleyball and whoever wins 2 of the sports takes the win. A team of Brazilians and a team old Americans. Of course we won, but we all dressed up super fly in our suit cots and sweats for the intimidation factor and it was hilarious when we got to the chapel the intimidation factor was real lol. I am being transferred this week; I will go to Poços de Caldas and will be a zone leader...
