Yes. We are marrying again. 
NO. It's not mine. 

This family that we are teaching is going to get married today!! WOOT WOOT. That means that we will have another baptism this upcoming saturday. Nothing better than a marrige and baptism in one week. 

This past week seemed to fly by. Like super duper fast. Crazy how that works. the more time im in the mission, the faster it flys by. 

The week was filled with trying to meet some new investigators. We've been having a  little bit of difficulty doing this the past weeks. I don't know why, but everyone we keep finding needs to get married. Bleh. haha. It's all good though. Just means a little more work. 

It's been getting pretty cold. Things are good though. One of the nights this week my companion just about died. He woke up and there was frost on the windows. He's from fortaleza. The coldest its ever gotten there is like 60 degrees. hahah. It was pretty funny. 

We've  been using somthing cool to try and reactivate some familys. Its called my family, program that the church is using to spark intresset in family history work.  It's ´pretty cool, but it sure makes me grateful that I have a good base of family history work alrieady done. Its really hard when nobody knows who their grandma or grandpa is. 

Things are good. My time is short today... like always. haha. 

Tchau! amo de vocês!

com amor,

Don't do anything stupid kids!

Wow, this week FLEW BY. 

To start off. 

WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK ITS A GOOD IDEA TO LIVE TOGETHER BEFORE  YOU GET MARRIED.

Seriously. 

This week we had a fantastic time finding new investigators... 

the only problem is non of them are married. ..:( 

Whatever thou, 

We spent a bunch of the week talking about marrige and such. The good thing is alot of them have a pretty big desire to get married. makes things a little bit eaiser.

Monday we went to the state office and marked the marrige of Ismeal and lourdres. THAT was awesome. They are a couple that we have been working with for a couple weeks now. They are sooo stinkin awesome. Funny story, they just had a baby like 2 weeks ago... guess what they named it? taylor. LIKE WHAT> ;;;;


Sunday we had a bunch of people in church, which always makes for  a good way to end the week. 

I think this up comming week we should be baptising 2 people.... What a good way to end the transfer. 


Love you all,
Hope you have a great week.

The weekly lift.

Well well well,

This week was just another week on the crazy farm. 

Got to talk to my peeps(the fam) on Sunday. You guys all look great, (Love you)

The rest of our week was filled with a ton of work. The past few weeks we have been working our heads of trying to find another baptism... We keep finding new people to teach but... They all need to get married. Like what the heck, What a problem to have, we keep finding family's to teach. Its pretty crazy. 

This past week we been focuzing on rogeiro and martizete. They are a not all member family that we have been trying to get married for the past... forever. We keep running into road blocks with the government thought. The government here really like to take money from the people.... therefore they do everything they can to prevent people from getting married for free. the struggle is real. 

We also have been teaching our familys from uruguai. I've been practicing my Spanish.. It's pretty awful, but then again so is the beginning of any language. 

We had zone meeting on Thursday. It was fun to see my peeps. Gotta love em all.

the rest of the week was just work like normal . 


Love you all,

Transfer???

Woot woot!!! this week was crazy busy! but thats good! We worked pretty dang hard.

First off, It got freaking coolllldddddd this week.. Like stupidly freaking cold. but thats good, I like the cold a whole lot more than the heat... 

The week started out really strange... with a call from president... 

Turns out he forgot to do a transfer during transfers....... hahah

I'm with a new companion right now! His name is elder s. Lima and he's from Fortaleza, wwwwwaaayayy north of where I am. 

He likes to hang out on the beach and listen to music. 

He's pretty chill. We get along good, and work hard together. 

The rest of the week we spent working out tail off. we taught 39 lessons this week.... and 20 of them were with a member present. IT WAS AWESOME. Most of our time was setting date for batism and trying to weed out all the enternagators  (eternal Investigators) in our teaching group. It was a good week. 

We met a couple new family's this week, which was awesome!!!! One of them Marcos and vennessa just recently moved here from uruguai.... which means I'll get to practice my spanish again!!! WOOT WOOT! ahahhaa. 

It was a pretty good week!!1 

Love you all, I hope everything is going good back home.

HEAT and Miracles

This week was hot. Like super duper duper hot. Everyone says that this isn't too normal because usually around this time of the year things are cooling off. Whatever though! The sun doesn't kill(well only sometimes). hahahah

This week we were able to teach A TON.  It was great. Teaching is the best part of the mission. I absolutely love it. Its interesting because the rest of the things that missionary do are only their to help us teach better and more people. 

This week we had a amazing miracle with lucas. We've been teaching him for about well... 2 days. He's 20 years old and is looking for peace in life. What better place to find it than the missionares? hahah 

Anyways, the second time we met with him, we marked a day for him to be baptized. The day we marked was the Sunday after church. Push comes to shove, it didn't work out, but He is totally ready, already has a testimony of everything. He'll be baptized this upcoming Saturday. Seriously one of the  most prepared people I've ever met. 

The other families that we are teaching are going great! We found a new family, Israel and Lourdes. A Family super awesome. They already are reading the book of Mormon and are one track for baptism. The only problem is marriage, but that is just a small problem. 

Carlos and villegena are going great. We marked a day for them to get married in the state office. Just need to keep waiting that dang 20 day for paper work. It's pretty annoying sometimes. whatever though. 

Things are good. To day is transfers...  No news here. I'll be staying in the same area with the same companion. Its good though. I'm liking it here, The ward is super nice and supportive and they love to help us out. 

Anyways, that pretty much all I have. 
Love you all,

eeeeehhhh oooohhh,

Hey everybody! I hope you all had a fantastic week because I sure did!!


This week we worked hard. Like sure duper hard. Thats good though, we don't have any other option than to work hard.

We had two mircales this week
one: WE HAD 9 people in sacament meeting. WOOT WOOT! This is crazy because saturday night we only had 3 people confirmed, but when we showed up for church there were tons of our investigators there. All I can say is fasting is super powerful. we decided to hold a fast saturday for our investigators and bam. Its was awesome. truth be told, we brought more people to church that any other companionship in our zone. WOOT WOOT

The second mircale is that we found a super duper awesome investigator  that is going to be baptised on the 22 second. Lucas is a 20 years old and is trying to find a place where he can feel gods love. He so freaking prepared its not even funny. We taught him the first lesson today and he already is excited to be baptised. Looks like all our hard work this month is paying off. 

The rest of the week was good. Bishop has called a new ward mission leader and we are super pumped for that. He's like a super good friend with all the missionary, RM and super excited to help us out. I'm super excited to see what happens. 

Things are good, Its been raining alot... Its kinda in the phase of hot as heck and raining all the time again. its not the greatest weather to be working in but, its what we have. 

I hope everyone has a fantastic week! Love you all, 

PS, Transfers are next week. We'll see what happens, but I think I'm going to be staying 

Love,

Conference

 This week was kinda disapointing, but we got over it.


Its been general Conference, which was awesome! Its kinda like Christmas for missionary. Two days to kinda take a break and rea charge those spiritual batteries.  I really like hollands talk at the end. We listened to conference at the stake center. They have satélite there. It really made me happy.

Elder Pinheiro is doing great! We've started a new program in the mission where the new missionary slowly take over everything.  By  the end of the 2 transfer, they are doing everything. Its a little bit diferente than the 12 week program, but kinda the same thing.

Its starting to get a llittle cold over here. Right as the temp is warming up in utah, its starting to get cold. Its good though, Final, I've been able to sleep through the night. Hahaha.

This past week I've been thinking alot about all the awesome member there are here in brasil. For example, I don't think I've every gone 3 day without an offer to eat dinner with a Family here, member or non member. Sometimes, we will show up to appointments, and our investigators will already have lunch or dinner made for us. Its crazy!! I've learned that it doesn't matter where we are in the world, there is  always somebody that will help you.

 

Love you all!
