Mission Week 10

Ok, guys, I did it. I bought some creatine and protein powder. Working out is pretty big here, so i get to talk to lots of people about it, and it's great!... I just dont get to do it... But that's ok! We buildin spiritual muscles out here, not physicle. I was able to make a contact by talking to a guy in between his pull-up sets at the park and talk about working out asking him questions about that first, and it went super well!


Speaking of contacts and contacting... I know how and can make my own contacts now! In portugues! It's hype! I still don't know most of what anybody says back to me. I can just tell them a few simple words about how great Jesus is, and i can share more, then i grab those digits(Number).

Christmas is coming up, and now my comp and I put up some lights and a christmas tree. Brightens up the room and brings the christmas spirit in, and i'm learning some Christmas hymns and songs on the guitar. I love that thing!

We had our meetings with the president this week! All the new guys came in to first hear a message from the president. We got mosyt the way through it and then out of nowhere... We hear SUPER loud snoring!! I was thinking." Boy ain't no way!" Haha, i was scared for that missionary. He was bouta get shot down by the president! He was out cold! I felt bad for him though cuz he just was exhausted and couldn't stay awake.

We made a new record of 72 new contacts one day! But 55 of those were online, so idk if they counted, haha. But we did get 41 contacts in person the day before! That was wild! We talked to soo many people. I have been losing track of how many Livro De Mormon's have given to people. And tons of mini lessons about the restuaration and scripture messages.

We had 2 baptisms this week! We cleaned the font and scrubed it 2 different times cuz the font kept looking green! While we were doing this, a Gecko ran up the wall hiding behind a picture of Jesus, and i snatched it. A few seconds later, it leaps out of my hand and INTO THE FONT! You could say i had another baptism that day, haha. I ran in there to rescue it and released it outside.

There were many many stories about how we happened to be in the right place at the right time or share the exact message people needed to hear, and they were super cool! Awesome to see and watch the hand of the Lord put us in the paths of people we did not plan on meeting and work miracles with it!

Ok. Kites. They are freaking cool! It is a super big part of the culture here to fly kites. There will be 10 or more kids in the street flying kites and running around. It is like a competitive game. The kite strings are designed in a way to have tiny peices of glass or something to make it sharp, and they fly them around trying to cut one anothers strings! They dirrect then somehow by a method of twitching the strings. I watched them slice kites and kite tails many times and hear them scream and run down the street to look for where the kite will fall. It's super cool, and i want to try it sometime.

Pretty solid week! I want to create a method to send a picture, maybe a Google Drive, but i am working on it so yall can see a little of what's going down in Brazil!

Untill next week,
Tchau!

God is Good! God Is Great!
Deus è Bom! Deus è Ótimo!

(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...
