Elder Costa visited our mission

So another great week.  This week Elder Costa visited our mission (member of the seventy) so Wednesday we learned a lot with him.  We learned a lot in a leadership meeting about how we need to love the missionaries whoever they are.  And we need to have personal conversion, be 100% obedient and how we need to be examples in the eyes of the missionaries, it was a cool conference.  

 After our President had a cool challenge for our mission.  He said during the next two transfers the only thing we will study about is Jesus Christ.  He said if we really focus and do this we will not have a doubt in our mind that Jesus Christ is our Savior.  It was awesome and super spiritual.  This week also we baptized a girl named Anna Pauline.  After about 6 weeks of going to church we got to baptize her.  Her mom is crazy and didn’t want anything to do with us, but with time we worked our way in and became her friend and she was able to be baptized, it was awesome. 

 After that I received great news.  That one of my investigators I have been teaching for 2 transfers decided this week she will be baptized.  I was super pumped.  She said our church is perfect and it is her time now.  Haha what a good feeling.  This was my week.

Perfect Week

This week was amazing.  To start off with, everything went perfect.  Well almost everything.  This week we got loaded up with referrals.  We have awesome members in this branch, it’s pretty little but everyone is working super hard to have the Branch become a Ward.  We taught all of the referrals and they all came to church.  It was incredible and they loved it.  We had some great lessons.  But the best part was that we got a baptism and I got to baptize her.  Her name is Earliny and she is awesome.  We are working on marrying her mom and dad.  But I got to baptize her in a pool it was awesome and so refreshing.  She was super happy after the whole experience.  It was awesome.  Friday morning we woke her up and invited the members.  The thing is the pool is super far away.  But nobody cares and transport doesn’t exist.  So we got everyone walking for an hour in the sun with us.  Everyone was so cool about it.  It was super special.  For real this week was perfect.  

But, funny story.  So we were teaching this girl and it was a good lesson.  Everything was going just great with the spirit involved and everything.  We were sitting under a tree and during a good part of the lesson a giant walnut, or something I am not sure, fell from the giant tree and drilled me right in my manhood.  I fell to the ground gasping for air while the two girls and my comp were on the ground dying laughing at me.  It hurt and wasn’t funny during the moment but after it was a good laugh.  

But that’s how my week went.

Goodbye Melo and Adrianne

This week was transfers week.  I got a new companion named Elder Santin.  It was sad to say goodbye to Melo And Adrianne, but super nice to get Santin as a companion.  He has about the same time out on the mission as me and he is excited to work.  

This week was filled with miracles.  Everything went perfect.  We found amazing people to teach.  We found people that want to get married, and a lot of people that are interested in what we have to say.  And everyone that committed on coming to church with us went to church it was amazing cause normally everyone says yes but only a few will actually go.  

My companion told me that he is in heaven and wants to end his mission here.  My other comp Elder Melo about cried and got super, super upset when he was transferred cause he wanted to end his mish with me.  He was already planning on it and boom was transferred.  

We met this girl named Josi that lives alone with 3 kids and takes care of her mom that has a disease.  Her husband left her for another girl.  This week we found her and she told us she feels a lot of happiness when she is with us and that she wants her two sons to become members of the church so they can grow up and become good men.  It was super nice to see people actually touched by what we do and super receptive.  It was the best week on my mission.  Me and my comp this week had a zone meeting and we taught about how burdens can become light through the atonement of Jesus Christ.  And about how nothing compares to the atoning sacrifice and how everyone needs to stop complaining about transfers, companions, areas and the little things and just keep moving on and know that Jesus suffered just for us.  It was an awesome training, everyone for sure felt the spirit.  

I came a lot closer to my Father in Heaven this week.  I am super grateful for my opportunities to learn more and more each day and to share the only true and right path for the people of Brazil.  By the way my trainer went home this week and another thing I had a zit on my ear and an Elder popped it and then my ear swelled up a lot.

Love,
