Tuesday we had a zone meeting and set a goal to have 3 baptisms every companionship this transfer and we are working so hard to reach that goal. We worked our tails off this week!
Wednesday we found this really old religious couple and taught them. It was pretty fun and after she made us juice and gave us cookies things. So funny, she is like a brasilian grandma. She even tried to give me a hug! Goodness, I feel so mean when I have to reject little old ladies hugs. Grandmas love hugs. ha!
Thursday we had lunch with my favorite family of the ward, Bruno and Mayara, (they even bought mom and lauren something legit. one day you guys will receive them! haha), and they are still preparing for the temple. I am so so excited for them! But after lunch we went out with a priest from the ward and taught a few lessons. One of the most spiritual lessons I had was Tuesday with our investigator named Junior (another junior! haha) and he is 23, don´t know if I told you about him or not. But we taught him the plan of salvation and it took like 2 hours and was so legit, he had so many questions and everything we said he just soaked it up. Even after the lesson he wanted to go to the family night we had planned with us. He loves family nights and has been to 3 already! haha
Friday I spent the day traveling to Miracema where elder p lima had a baptismal interview. We had to take this van bus thing to get home on time and we had to stand up for 2 hours on the bus. Talk about exhausting! wow. But the bus ride was awesome because I had lots of time to ponder about everything. The scriptures always say to ponder them but missionaries just don´t have that much time to ponder, so it was nice to have a few hours to think. haha :)
Saturday night I almost died of heat. The lightning made the power go out and it turned off our AC and we woke up laying in sweat and just dying of heat. Luckily we were able to get it back on during the night. But yeah, satuday we spent on the road teaching everyone and anyone we could. We found this couple that we started teaching as well and even set baptismal dates for them for the 21 of February. They even went to church and loved it!
Yesterday we had 7 investigators in church and it was awesome. Everyone of them loved it. We had lunch at Gabi´s house (not sure if you saw the pictures on facebook) and its always a great time there. Mom, you would love her, she is hilarious.
some things I wanted to end with this week. Pugs in brasil are considered world class breeds and only people that are rich can afford pugs. It is true that you can get sunburned through clothes. I am a testimony of that. I have a tan line where my celestial smile is :) haha! its so legit. And I eat exotic fruits everyday for free. Brasil is full of trees in the roads that produce fruit like crazy. Not sure how to spell some of them but you all can look them up if you would like: jambo, carenbola, acerola, guava, pinha, and tons and tons of mangoes!!! Its great! hope you all have a great week :)
com amor, elder patterson
