Another week in the books!

Image
This last week past by super super fast. And because of that I feel like nothing really happened. I know one day we went for a multi zone conference. That took about the whole day. Two of my old companions were there so that was cool.  Practically all the other days were just working. I think my companion and I are getting more work done then most people. There's a pattern you have to do. Like how many new investigators, how many scheduled baptisms, and how many people you bring to church. In the conference they talked about how alot of people weren't doing it. But my companion and I are way above them each time so that's cool.  The mission president even called one day to congratuale us. And yesterday he even showed up to one of our baptisms at night. But honestly that was my week practically. Until next week, see ya! February 5, 2018

Transfer to a new area!

So, I showed up in my new area thinking it would just be like my last. The house is not as nice, but the area is way better and thankfully less of a walk to get places. Our house is actually in the ward area and the ward missionaries actually live in apartment in our branch area. The members here are way nicer then my last area so thats great. I thought my companion was from here and most people think that also cuz he speaks Portuguese, but I guess hes from a island country in Africa called Cabo Verde and he speaks port, french, croil (idk how to spell it), and hes' learning english. His mission is ending in about 8 weeks or so but he does not know for sure cuz of his visa. His name is Elder Delgado.  The area is alot nicer here. I dont think there are favellas here. Mainly just small neigborhoods and giant apartment buildings. This week we got a ton of work in and I think I had more success then any other week. Except yesterday in church none of our new investigators came...

Baptism

On Thursday the travelling assitants came to do splits with us. That day was my first day of complete work in a while. I did splits with a kid from Washington named Rodarte. I don't remember what city he is from. Saturday night we left our mission to talk to a mom of the kid we are teaching, we probably aren't allowed to do that, but either way we did. We needed permission from her to baptized him and she thought it was too early for her son, he is 14, so my companion wanted to talk to her about it in person instead of over the phone. The other mission wassn't too far since we are on the edge. We took a bus there but when we noticed how close it was we just walked back.  I ate Subway also over there. It was R$20 for a meal. It's basically just the samething we have in the US so in the end it was probably a waste of money since I don't really even like subway. There are tons of Subways, McDonalds, and Burger Kings here in Brazil and the brazilians think that's ...

  Show original message Today we got up went to the LAN house to find it was still closed. Then we left to the other area to hangout with other missionaries. Went to the bank there because our area does'nt have one to get our money. The other missionaries live in a house at the church. We had bbq there and played soccer. There were 8 Elders there in total. So that was pretty fun. Idk I dont have anything else interesting to talk about. So until next week I guess. See ya January 15, 2018
