Hey everyone! I hope you guys had a great week this
week! My week was... well,
exhausting! So we had transfers this
week which are always super crazy. This
was my first one alone in the office too so that made things a little more
difficult but this week was definitely a week of learning. I learned a ton this week. Like a ton.
But anyways... So on Monday I was
sitting around all stressed out getting everything ready for the new
missionaries to come and for the old missionaries to leave and I was like
freaking out when my phone rang and I didn´t recognize the number. But anyways I answered it and it was I.D.
from Cidade do Sol. I don´t know if you
guys remember her but she was the lady whose house we always went to for family
night on Monday nights back when I was in Cidade do Sol who made me that huge
birthday cake. Anyways I was wondering
why she called and she said it was just because she missed me in the ward
there. Anyways we talked for a little
bit and it was really good because I was super stressed and it was good to know
that I actually made a difference in the lives of at least a few people
here. Haha so we decided to use that
jerk seasoning that Colton sent me a while back so we made some tacos with the
assistants and we made some guacamole.
The missionaries threw the avocados in the blender. What are they thinking?? I was just imagining Uncle Brent carefully
mashing the avocados with a knife slice by slice haha. I was like man if only he were here he would
kill you guys haha. But anyways it
turned out pretty good.
So on Tuesday,
all of the new missionaries got here. Me
and Elder Durê got to go to the airport again to get two new Americans who were
fresh outta the states. Man they were so
lost. Pssh Americans these days ;) We took the new missionaries to do some
street contacting to show them how to do it and it was so cool to see the
excitement of the new missionaries! It´s
kind of a morale booster for everyone haha.
That night we also got to go to the president’s house for dinner which
was great as usual. That´s for sure the
best part about being secretary haha. So
on Wednesday I had to take the two American missionaries to the police station
to register them here in Brasil which I was super stressed about too because if
something goes wrong there someone´s getting arrested or deported haha. But it all went good thankfully haha. An American missionary who was going home
that day also decided it was a good idea to forget his passport here in the
office so I had to get two missionaries to take it to the airport which is
about 45 minutes away and his flight was scheduled to leave a half hour from
when I got the call but they got a good taxi driver and it all worked out haha.
It was a crazy week. We had like almost
no time for actual missionary work which was a bummer but the Lord is there to
help us. We somehow managed to mark two
baptisms for tomorrow. J., the brother
of I., and V., who is a friend of the bishop’s kids. So it should be a good day tomorrow. We had a fun activity with the ward this week
and I totally destroyed a bunch of kids in a foot race haha. I don´t play around with that kinda stuff
;) It´s kinda like when I destroyed Taggart
and Treyson in that Mario Kart tournament at Lawrence Welk. You can´t mess around with these kids these
days haha. Jk actually I almost lost the
foot race to a 13 year old. This kid was
like a pro soccer player already so it´s a miracle that I pulled off the win in
the homestretch haha.
But anyways,
things are starting to calm down here but this next week is going to be pretty
crazy too because we have Elder Mazagardi from the 70 coming this week that we
have to get ready for. Wish me
luck. If I survive these next two week
I´ll be determined that I´m invincible haha.
I love you all! Have a great
week! A Igreja é verdadeira!

agility
