Out in the field

I only have 10 mins so I'm not going to write a big email.

This place is cool. I guess I have two years living here so I don't want to spend my time describing it right now. 

The people are all friendly too but I cant talk to almost anyone. My comp is an American so my Portuguese isn't getting much better.

We're the only ones in our area so we barely see other missionaries (we did today to play volleyball and we do for district/zone meetings).

Our manual says we don't have to pay tithing cuz we are missionaries and our money is tithing - but our mission pres. says we aren't allowed to spend 10% of our money so we can practice tithing.

We can't play contact sports - meaning soccer and basketball. The mission itself is good.

Also p-day isn't a full day, we work all night. And we WORK all Sunday too.

Everything is actually really great. I'm two months in and time is surprisingly flying by super super fast.


Welp see ya!

Another week in the books!

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

One week left at the CTM!!

Image
Hmmmm...  I don't have much to say. I'm finishing up my last week at the CTM right now. We got some more Brazilian roommates. I dont know when so I dont know I've already mentioned this lol. But we can talk to them alot more in portuguese which is really cool.  Next week I leave on Tuesday to my mission and get a new companion. My companion right now has been sick for like 2 weeks. He just uses hippie oils and isn't getting better. Today I woke up with a soar throat (and I assume I finally caught whatever he has) but I think I will be fine.  Some brazilians can speak english very well and it's really cool because the majority of them learned it from video games and movies because they got sick of dubbings and translations. It's actually super awesome. They're not perfect but some of them are better then us when it comes to us speaking portuguese. Tho it's usually not that way. When Shawn H. came back from his mission he had trouble speaking engl...

Hey! I dont have a ton of time so I took a photo of the email to read later. Thats what they told us we should do. They keyboard isnt too bad. My first week flew by. My campanions name is Pancheri from Utah. The rest of my distrect is great. There is a kid from Japan and the Philippines in my district. I have gotten to leave the CTM today. So far we have gone to the Temple but we are about to go out in the streets right after this. We arent supposed to send pics at the CTM because it will slow down the wifi so you wont be getting any any time soon. The food here is pretty good. Its mostly beans, rice, chicken, and roast beef. Every morning we have ham and cheese sandwhiches. I haven't gotten sick of them yet which is good. They had pizza once but it was weird but good except one taste straight up like fish and was disgusting, another one had chocolate sauce and sprinkles.  September 27, 2017
