Dear Family and Friends,
We are officially on the last week of this transfer. It
feels like it flew by. This week was a very different week. We had zone
conferences and we did an activity in my area with the whole zone, President
and Sister Cabral, the APs and secretaries too. I'll get into that later.
The week started off slow for us. We honestly had very
little time in our area to work. It was hard to start and we were having
problems planning and working with the members. beyond that it was a busy week
for me because my district is balling it up and baptizing everyone, so I have
to take time out to do baptismal interviews and help the other elders with
these baptisms. This ward has had baptisms weekly for the past 6 weeks, and it
is going to continue that way. One of the baptisms that happened Saturday was
of D-, a young man 21 years old that Elder de Medeiros and I found and
started to teach while we were still in Cabo Frio. That made me happy because I
had the chance to be there for almost all of it to help him make the huge
changes in his life that he made. I played violin at his baptism too haha.
Zone conference was awesome. We learned a lot and it's
always good to hear from President Cabral. He has got this fire inside of him
that is just crazy. He jumps around and he bangs his hand on the pulpit and he
yells, but with everything he says you can feel what he is saying.
The activity was awesome. We had 11 sets of missionaries to
visit every single less active member on the ward list in Araruama. Also to
find new investigators and teach everyone. I think I hit a personal record when
we found 26 new investigators in one day. We have a busy week ahead of us to
follow up with all of these people, but the work is moving along.
General conference is this week and I hope that everyone is going
to watch it. It is my favorite weekend on the mission because I get the chance
to renew my testimony and receive revelation from God through his authorized
prophet and apostles here on Earth in these days.
I
got my package, thanks for all that was in it!
