My District |
Bauru is going good, the only problem is that is rains here like every night. Elder Moake is awesome, but he does make me feel like a midget. He is 6'6"! Its kinda funny because he also remember that Malinda, his aunt, told him to look for me, too. He lived Kinda by Wal-mart but now he lives closer to the Wendys on State Street. He has been on his mission for 5 months. He did have some visa issues but he was like me and made it to Brazil before his MTC time was over.
My new area is really good. The people though are kinda not nice on letting us in, but they are totally willing to give there address everytime, haha. We live by ourselves and we live in a house this time. It's not that bad of a house, it has some interesting things but Ican live with them. Also, we live in a house behind a members house. It is this old lady named Rosa and she just loves the missionaries. We always get dinner from her, like almost every night. I do like the ward and they are all so willing to help us, which is very nice. Our investigators are doing really well. Andre was baptized on Saturday, I would be sending home a picture but I just noticed that I forgot my camera. But everything went really well with his baptism. Its easy to tell that he will be a strong member. Our American family is starting to become really interested in what we are teaching them. We have another girl who is 12, who is doing all of the church activities, like new beginnings. But she is a little afraid of being baptized. Those are the investigators we are working are hardest with because they are the closest to being baptized.
Being District Leader means that I am in charge of a group of missionaries. I have to lead in the meetings that we have each week and give a training lesson each week on something different. The missionaries in my district are really cool. I never wanted to be a District Leader, I would have been happy just as a senior comp the whole time, haha. But it's good.
Thanks so much for everything and yes, I'm doing really good and everything is going well for me.
P.S. Mom, news that maybe you already know, but Avenged Sevenfold has a new CD. This guy told me the other day because we were talking about music.
So, yes I did end up getting transferred. I got transferred to the city Bauru, it's still in São Paulo. I'm with Elder Moake, he is kinda new on the mission and is from Orem. Crazy story for you, he went to Vineyard and wel,l he was actually in my kindergarten and 1st grade class. I didn't remember that at all but he did, it was crazy. Also, do you remember a girl named Erica Nielson, she would be my age and lives where we lived in Orem by Dallas Neath? He is friends with her. We have a lot of people that we both know. Also so some other crazy stuff has happened with this transfer. I became a District Leader. It's kind of difficult because now I have a lot more responsiblities. The only sad thing is I will have no clue what happens with all of my old investigators until I see Elder Van Orden and can ask him what happened. I just have to wait and see.
Bauru is pretty cool, it's not nearly has hot as Pres Prud and that is a good thing. It is a ward here, but not a very strong one. Our attendance yesterday was 55 which is really quite weak. We have some pretty good investigators. We have a kid named André who is going to be baptized on Saturday. We have taught him 4 times and he is just like perfect. He gave up coffee because a member told him if he did that he would get his answer and he did. So, pretty much just perfect. Also we found this family who lived in the states for 15 years and even had a son while there. When we go there we teach them in English and they came to church yesterday! Roberto, the dad, even cried during Sacrament meeting. That is who we have right now, but I can tell that this area will actually be a really good area, especially where we are working now. So, yeah, that is my big news for the week, that now I have to work even harder as a District Leader. Haha
Sorry my email is a lil lame, but everything here for me is good and I don't need anything. Thanks for all of the support. Jk, I need body wash and some deodorant, not a lot but a couple.
