But wedensday we basically spent the whole day doing a service project at the bishops house painting his gate and barred windows. It took forever and at the end of it, I looked like the Hulk! I still have green paint on in my fingernails and we did it last wednesday.
Thursday we made two visits because I got a cold the night before and barely slept a wink. I was super exhausted, my voice was completely gone, and sore throat. So I called Sis Lundgren and she told us to just go home and rest, so we did for a little while but we still went out at night to make a few visits and Priscila made us a nice dinner for my one year mark! She is the best for sure :)
Friday was also wayyyy fun! We had an activity in the ward called Festa de Junina. Its like a holiday where people dress up as cowboys and girls where what looks like pioneer clothes and they eat traditional food from brasil. Lots of food made with corn, canjica and soups! We took a few investigators there and they all loved it. Especially luis fernando! he went and made lots of friends. The activity was a huge success and had lots and lots of people.
Saturday we spent the day running from appointment to appointment. We visited lots of people ending with Luis Fernando finalizing everything for his baptism! He is such a stud. But we also visited Valeria and her family because they didn´t go to church the past two weeks because we ``didn´t explain well enough`` for them. Even thought I explained 10 times exactly what she needed to do and the hours of the church and everything. So we visited her and invited her again to go to church and she gladly accepted! And the best part was was when we were on the bus and she got on accompanied by priscila and a few other members. It was great to have help from the members yesterday. Especially because we didn´t really have time to stay with Valeria and her kids the whole time because we were getting everything ready for Luis´ baptism. AND it happened! Our little amigo Luis Fernanda was baptised! I let elder m. santos do it and he was super excited. It was so great and Luis loved it!! Super spiritual and he had tons of support from the ward and his new friends :) Unfortunately Eduardo wasn´t baptized... Don´t know exactly what is stopping him. Well, mostly it is his family that doesn´t support him very much so it makes it super super hard to help him finally get baptized. But I have faith he´ll be baptized one day...
SO some news... #ISURVIVEDLUZIÂNIA. I was transferred!!! I was actually a little surprised about it. I thought I´d stay to finish the trainning of my son but thats not the plans the Lord has for me. And the plans the Lord has for me a super super super great!!! I got transferred and during the transfer meeting they went through every zone and showed the picture of the missionaries faces on the screen. I was more than surpirsed to see my face show up on the PALMAS screen!!! I AM GOING BACK!!!!! Heck yes!!! I was soooooo excited! I am going to Porto Nacional! It´s an area realitively close to my other areas there and for sure I am going to see everybody there that I left from both Palmas 3 and Taquaralto!!! Nossa! I can´t explain how happy I am and I am going back as district leader. I will get on the bus here in couple hours for the 13 hour bus ride that I have never been so excited to take :) ha. My companions name is Elder Burock, brasilian, and i´ve heard that he is like a more or less missionary that sounds like he is ``dying.´´ So I am going to have to kick his bottom into shape.
But some other news is that my package from mom got here! I had to go to Brasilia today to get it. I had to pay 40 reais for it. Which is like 10 american dollars in the moment so it wasn´t so bad. So today was also super excited and fun. Because I had no one to go with to the mail place, I went with sister and Elder Rowe. The senior couple that work in the mission office. they were my companions for the day :) And they are so great! They took me out to lunch in the mall :) I got some Parmesan chicken and some potato bites. Wow, what a treat to eat in a fine restaurant! They are amazing and I love them. Everyone can feel the love they have for the missionaries. But yeah, I have tons of pictures to send of everything that happened this week but I can´t send them from the computers here. Just know that hopefully next week you´ll get some pictures.
I love you all and hope you all know I am excited for me new adventures in PALMAS! Yeah!!!! haha :) have a great week to all of you. Love you all lots and thanks for everything!
