The ultimate sports challenge.

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 in the Sao Joao da boa Vista zone. My companion will be Elder Matias and he is from Brasil. We had a good week of work and were able to find quite a bit of people to teach and we were able to bring a few people to church as well. Looking forward to the new area I've heard that it is a tough one but I'm excited to take it on.

I'm doing fine and we will have our Christmas multi zone this week so that will be fun. We will have it on Friday and I'm excited

Here is a pic of a family that we are really close to here, they bought us these golden name tags because they like us so much.

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. ...
