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

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...

Baptism

Hey, This week went by pretty fast. One day we had a conference with the president. Another two days we had service projects. Both of them where basically the same thing. Alot of people, I think, just build onto their homes. So alot of sidewalks companies will just dump rocks and dirt there for people to make cement. So, for both service projects we just carried aton of random stuff up the tops of hills. The first one was a little different though, because the top of the house had a pully. I don't know if it made it easier but I pullied everything and buckets of rocks for a few hours gets pretty tiring.  Hmm.. what else did I do. One night we were talking to a lady at her house and when we went to leave there was this really creepy old guy standing in the middle of the dark street just watching us and then some dogs starting chasing us. It was weird, but the dogs dont do much. So when I say chase I just mean they run after us barking but thats about it.  For ...
