Mission week 6 bouta leave MTC

This week went by quite a bit slower than the others. Probably because we are super close to leavig the CTM and i am soo ready to go. One class near the begining of the week we had a sub and it was this worker we had not met yet but only seen and i swear she is like the human version of Minni Mouse! She is very short and wears a bow on  her head, and is always smiling, so i have just called her Minni Mouse. We told her all that and she laughed but loved it, but we later determined that she would probably match the movie charachter Penelipe from Wreck It Ralph. I have finaly gotten over the sickness I had which was relieving... but, another Elder in my district still has somthing and will consistantly have light cuaghing fits that keep going until he and everyone else are dying with luaghter becuse he cannot stop. He is getting better though. 

We went to the temple and i was battling to stay awake becuase we went early, i was pulling every move i could to stay awake, i pinched myself bounced my head the workers probably thought i had tourets or somthing but i just needed to stay awake.

We took the Language profficiency test Saturday. It is out of 10 points and new learners like us were suposed to get between 3 and 4 and that is super good. Most people got around that score but when i pushed enter after the test... it said i had gotten a 0.1 out of 10. I was a little confused and couldn't beleive it. I had my teacher and another instructer look at it and it made no sense. The score that i got should have been immposible. To put in perspective; If i had not said a single word for the test that is the score i would have gotten. the teachers looked at it and listened to the resposees i had given in portugues and said i actually did good with it and spoke decent portugues but the test apperently didnt work! So ya i broke the language test and now my mission priesident got an automatic email sent to him telling him my score lol. So he is gonnabe pretty confused or think i'm dumb to get that score haha. At first i was pretty frustrated with it but i eventueally realized that it ain't that deep and moved on.

I downloaded Dou Lingo to work more on the language so now my language studies are to read 2 pages of Livro De Mormon, hit at least 2,000 points in Tall Embark, and grind out as much Dou Lingo as I Can. I get a little burnt out working on the language so much but its good cuz i want to learn. I requested a personal lesson for me and my comp becuase i heard that it was an option and i want to do everything i can to learn. Super great lessons i really like them. 

On Sunday we had a super solid Meeting, we found ooout that me and my comp were giving the lesson and lucky us... becuase we got to teach for pretty much all the Elders in our Branch. Ahh usually they break us into 3 groups for sunday scchool but today we just taught everyone except for the people that spoke french. It was a solid lesson though, we taught about Christlike attributes which is a topic i enjoy. The Priesident said he really enjoyed the lesson too so I Guess we did a decent job. 

One of my friends in our district wanted to rematch me in an arm wrestle becuase i beat him a few weeks ago. It was a solid fight but... i couldn't back down and so i won. He is strong though.

I almost forgot, we made a music video for one of the elders here that wrote and sung his own christian rap song it was dope! I have no clue what he said most of the time cuz he has a cool accent but it sounded fire.

The barbers here r crazy good. He was goin to town on my head with scisors snipping faster than i could see! It was a lil nerve wracking but he did a super good job. Brazilian barbers are truly masters of their craft.

I have met a lot more people that are going to Serve in Curitiba and Curitiba South as well. A bunch of super cool and fun people. I am excited to go! We got an Email that tells us that we will be leaving Friday morning meeting at 5:00 at the front. Im super hyped! Next email will be in the field.

Everyday I wake up, may be tired, somtimes i may not wake up feeling the best but one thing i do every day is i look out the window and tell myself, its a beuatiful day. Its a beuatiful day becuase god gave me this day. And gratitude has gotten me in a good mood no matter how i felt previously. Then as i get ready i play the song: It's A Beuatiful Day. Such a good song.
And i feel happy and ready for the day!
(The song is an edit on facebook from 
"Sean AI" and called "Beautiful Day")



Until next time, Tchau!

God is good yall, he is so good.

Mission week 50. (09/16/2024) First week here in Ahú Curitiba!  My new Comp here "Elder Siebra" is litt! it is funny cuz i knew him already from a bit earlier on in the mish, but this was during the time when i was a bit annoying lol, but we are super chill now. We are like two buddies just doin God's work and so it is super fun! We both really like music too so it is a good way to connect. He knows a lot and actually studied music before the mission. He also knows how to Play the guitar! which is littt and we both play the guitar and he is teaching me how to do and play a few things! I love music, it is super powerful and... is also something that we can share with other people. We had a cool family night with an awesome member family! they planned it and said our part was just to say the prayers, and give a special musical number... (nobody knows yet that we like music and stuff so it was a surprise) So my comp played the Guitar and I sang "Amazing Grace." It ...

Mission Week 56 (10/28/2024)

First Attempted Armed Robbery!   Guys I want you all to note that I am now training and it was the very first week of the new guy, my comp. and it has been an exciting wild first week on the mission for him, hahahaha. (Also lots of things happened... so it's a long one this week)   Alrightyyy! My new comp that I am training is awesome!!! Elder Eastin is a Dawg! I picked him up Monday and found out that we must have crossed paths a few times before the Mission because he is from Kamas Utah!!! Right where my cabin is at! So he lives there, knows all the trails, lakes, and much more! We have gone to the same ward up there too! So he of course loves Fishing, Hunting, Hiking, Dirt Biking and stuff like that so we get along pretty well and easily. It's been a pretty normal good start of the week and found great people, taught great people. Had great Experiences. Here are the random notes of the week:  - Thiago owns a super good bakery and so when he met the new Elder he g...

Mission Week 8

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y'ALL! Wow it has been a  week , felt like a month haha. We have done soo many different things and talked to hundreds of different people.  Now I have been in my Official area for a  week  in Ala 2. First day here i met this super cool dude, He is a member and his name is Thiago. I am convinced that he is one of the 3 Nephites. This man is awesome. He speaks perfect english and even has lived in Utah a little bit. He has recently become super involved and pretty much always trying to do everything he can do to help the missionaries and participate in the work. He regrets not going on a  mission  so he is basicaly serving unofficialy alongside us working as a member. He will always show up in neihborhoods we usually walk through and ask where we are so he he can help. He even took it a step further and rented a car for 2 days and took us to the far corners of our area to try to talk to people there becuase it is an hour or so walking time...
