Transfers!!! Mission week 25 (03/25/24) begining 4th transfer

Yoooooo Transfers!!! This is crazy! I am moving for the first time! I have only ever really known alla 2 in central Curitiba for my time here in Brazil. It was amazing! I have many many amazing experiences and made some amazing friends that became like my family here. I am gonna miss them, but I am excited to continue on and help even more new people! I am now in Ponta Grosso! in Jardim Verona! and my new comp is this dope guy named Elder Santos! He is super good at Futebol, and he already has 20 months on the mish so now I will be working with basically a seasoned warrior and I am excited to learn a ton and continue to grow! he doesn't speak english either so that is good! I will learn a ton more portugues. Last week one funny thing that happened was an elder in my district had his hair cut by his comp... that did not go well. He basically gave him the edgar cut which does not work with mission standards. It was soo bad but pretty funny. I offered to help him and I ended up fad...

Mission week 24 (03/18/24)

Boa semana, miracles and tons of other great things moving into play! But all this started out with a good Pday last  week . I had Popeyes and it was freaking good!  then to finish the Pday we found a crazy homeless guy trying to sleep at the chapel again so we had to kick him out. This  week  most of the time i actually felt pretty good! my mind has been clearer, and my mood has been up! the sun has definitely been up too cuz it was HOT. One day we woke up to a fun little surprise. Water! all over the floor! our apartment had flooded overnight! I thought the washing machine had broke or something! but at least my clothes were clean lol. but no my comp had just left his clothes in the drain sink and so it didn't drain, and it overflowed. The homeless guy showed up again during a youth activity and seminary which was a problem. First he disturbed some of the ladies and they ran for the bishop to help, meanwhile we were sitting with our investigators in seminary. the B...

Mission week uhhh I dont remember, 23? (03/11/24)

What's good everybody!!!?? We doin good here in Brazil. Last P-day was a Blast!! we played futebol, basketball, more futebol, Guitar, Uke, and we went bowling!!! It was a litt P-day and I was dead tired after. This  week  has been a little better and I have not been as stressed out, or at least I have tried to not let things stress me as much with all we have to do. i always try to do every little thing perfectly but i realized that if i am getting super stressed it is going to affect the people around me and i don't want that. so this  week  has been much better with that. One quote from one of our great members when he greeted us was, "Elders of Israel, how are you? Are you all right? Because if you are all good, then the people are all good. " (Irmão Juca.) that hit me hard because normally i don't worry about myself i just go, but i need to chill my brains out a bit to help them better haha. How I am doing affects the people around me. To not be super stressed...

Mission week 22 (03/04/24)

Another  week , another dollar, or Bap? jkjk but this  week  we have learned about lots of people who need to be baptized and are just ready to go! One lady in our ward simply does not have her record that she was already Baptized so we will help her put that on the record. and many others. Lets goooo! Zone meeting last monday and the President was there so we had our interviews. in mine, the main things that helped me was to try to be more simple, not to think so much and complicate things, and that Temples, Jesus and our covenants are the only thing we need to focus on so keep it simple to just those things and don't stress soo much about everything else. let the spirit guide with the other parts. My President is a smart, funny guy.. he has what lots of people call the "dad lore" and a lot of it. He will go on and on with stories and usually they are hilarious! He is actually a smart guy and he loves to humble people and especially cocky people who think they are all th...
