Another week! Okay last Monday night was freaking amazing! We
went to this pizza buffet, but it´s not like a buffet where you go and pick up
some food, then eat, then go back, no. They bring you a different type of pizza
every few minutes and you either take a piece or don´t. We barely ate that day
so we could have room and boy, we´re we stuffed to the brim when we were done.
The pizza was amazing, so many different kinds. I was the "child" of
the group and had 12 pieces (who would have thought 12 pieces is only a little
bit???) Elder Ramos has 14, Elder Hodges had 15, and Elder Markham had a
whopping 19. Craziness! It was so good but we weren’t exactly feeling healthy afterwards,
haha. But we didn´t have any big problems, so all is well. Guys will be guys.
Tuesday was exactly two
months since I started my mission, crazy! Wednesday we had zone meeting, where
we did role playing in front of the whole zone, which was nerve-racking, but I
actually did okay. It´s awesome to see the love the zone has for each other.
The district leader, Elder Fanzlau, was on exchange with Elder Ramos for the
rest of the day and part of the next, so it was cool having him around, he´s
pretty awesome.
Also for Wednesday, we met this guy, Anderson, who had met with
the missionaries in Sau Paulo and they were helping him learn English, so when
we came by his house, because he´s now living in Sao Jose da mata, he was happy
to have us in. He´s super cool and easy to talk to, I feel like I can relate to
him well, and he´s justa cool dude. Plus, he came to church on /Sunday, which
was awesome! Also, he knew a little bit about the doctrine because of what the
other missionaries had taught him, but one of our times we met with him, we
taught part of all 4 lessons, all in one sitting! Crazy! I didn´t even know
that was possible! Haha.
Happy Birthday Elder Markham! The big 20, very exciting. We just
had some cake at Deborah´s house for a little while to celebrate, it was fun.
We had fast and testimony meeting on Sunday, so it
was definitely awesome hearing people´s testimonies.
One thing I feel I’ve learned a lot this weekend that everything
a missionary does works through the spirit. Who we talk to, where we go, what
we say, all through the spirit, and the spirt always testifies of truth. I´m so
grateful to have a guide in my work, because I certainly couldn´t do this on my
own, and I have this guide because it´s not my work, it´s the Lord´s work, and
the Lord will always prevail.
I hope you all have an
amazing week, and don´t forget to remember your Heavenly father and your Savior
Jesus Christ, for all the things they do for you.
All the best!
The church is true!
