Good Stories

Hello All! I am super short on time but I have some pretty good stories this week! 

So we have an investigator named Patricia and she has been coming to church and we have been teaching her for about two weeks now. This last week we were at her house but we normally teach her in front of her house because her husband is never home. This last time her husband was home but he was super drunk. He has a drinking problem really bad and he is only 27. She let us into the house because he was sleeping. While we were teaching her he came stumbling out and started yelling Those Mormons!! He then told us how much he loved and hated mormons. He then stumbled into the bathroom and after three minutes he started calling for help! He opened the door and came out wearing some super tight tighty whitys... He then asked me if I wanted to fight because he didnt like that I didnt look at him hahaha! He was like.. You wanna fight with me?! I said no.. He said well then lets go!! He started to come at me and his wife told him that I was american.. He started crying and telling me how much he loved Americans! He just kept saying I love you man over and over and over and over in English! I was like I love ya too bro! He then got down on his knees.... RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. He started saying that I was a beutiful American... Then he grabbed my leg and put his head on my lap and started crying!!! Yup that freaking just happened!! Then to make things so much more fantastic He started rubbing my leg.... Then he sat down on the ground and started crying again. After about 10 minutes he got possessed by a spirit! Then the spirit left and he remembered that I was an American and we took a pic togother. WE are now best buds I guess..

Other story. Walking down the street and what I THOUGHT was flipping cat walking in the grass which turned out to be a 2 1/2 ft Lizard ran at me!! I kept my cool though and threw my companion at that Godzilla! Freak people I was expecting little lizards!

Other story. My beloved companion whome I loved so dearly was transfered..... AMEN.

Thats me folks. dont drink, and dont take Godzilla for grantid... (dont remember how to spell grantid)

Ps. If you send me a package please please please dont put the price above 50 dollars. If it is more I have to take a 4 hour bus ride to get it, pay for it, and then come back another 4 hours. Happened today and It took all my P day haha. But I really do love packaged and letters so dont be afraid to send them!! ( alll you people that arent my mom and Cassie) 

Pizza!

Hey yall! Just thought I would let ya know that I am still alive and kicking! We had exchanges this week and I got to stay will my good buddy Elder Xavier! We had a pretty awesome pizza and Guarana!

We have transfers in 6 days... not that I am counting down or anything! I think I am going to stay in the area. If I stay I will have 6 months in this area!! Thats a lot of time! 

I have gotten to the point that I know everyone I see in the road and I am starting to make contacts 2 or 3 times with the same people.. Its pretty fantastic! 

Everyone here thinks I am from Germany. For example I made a contact with this couple and the (very smart) man said: Hey you are speaking English thats awesome!

Me: Im speaking English?

His wife: No He is speaking German not English.

Me: You guys are understanding what I am saying stupids. DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH OR GERMAN?!! I THINK NOT!!! 

His wife: I think hes mad....

Yup thats my everyday life people. Thank goodness people accept the gospel here because if not it would be some real long days!

Love you all dont do drugs. 

The name is Elder.

Hello friends and family!

This was a pretty good week here in Brazil! We knocked a lot a lot a lot of doors! I say knock but all you do is clap haha! 

So we were knocking doors as we normally do and we got to this one house and started talking to this lady. She told us that she had been praying to know what path was right for her and If God could just do something to show her that he was caring for her. She said when she said amen we knocked her door.... she cried and wants to be baptized... Its real hard to preach the gospel down here in brazil ;)

So thats my week! I feel like I always have so much happen durring the week and when I get to the computer I forget everything!!!

Love me!!

Baptisms

Hello Americanos!

So this week was super super super full of stress! Did you know that preparing for a baptism is a nightmare?! We had two people ready to be baptized. A mom and her son. They passed the interview and all was going super duper and then she called us and asked us THE QUESTION! She said that she had been dating a member (inactive memeber) and two days before he moved into her house and was sleeping on her sons bunk bed!! Freak lady ya cant be baptized with that dude in your house!! We had to call him to repentance and kick him out of her house and then call the mission presidente to talk with her to make sure all was well. Then the were BAPTIZED!! We DUNKED Them!! woohooo that was my wonderful week!! dont do drugs and stuff.

Hello freaks! So this was a pretty good week! Kinda poopy too hahaha! So the lady that I talked about last week didnt make it to church this week so she cant be baptized with her family this week and they wont be baptized without her! Super bummy but gotta do what ya gotta do.

We will have two baptisms this saturday though and I am super pumped because one of the asked me to baptize them and thats always an awesome feeling!

Not too much has been going on though. I got to talk with a lady that is 104 years old and she was pretty much the most amazing person I have ever met in my life! She is so healthy and funny! She said that one day we will learn how to work like her haha!

Here are some pics of a guy in the ward playing the accordian for us.... I want one... And here is a pic of my face when I get mommys christmas packages early! woot woot

Goodbye losers

Miracle

Hello my loves! So This week I had by far one of the coolest experiences of my life. We were just getting to church on Sunday and our investigator had called us and told us that his wife had cut her wrists and was asking for us. We ran (literally ran) to the church and got two members to drive us to their house. When we entered there was a lot of blood and she was crying super hard saying that she didnt want to deal with this life anymore. (this is the family that we have had marked to be baptized the last few weeks but she didnt want them to be baptized) Of all the people she could have called she called us because we have already given her two blessings that have cured her. We have her a blessing and she immediately stopped crying, and was smiling and laughing! She said that she wanted to be baptized with her family and she told her husband to throw all of their booz away and she pulled out her nose peircings and demanded that we go to their house every day and catch her up on all the lessons.

This was one of the most spiritual experiences I have had in my life. I know that priesthood power is real. I know that. I know that this is the true and living church of Jesus Christ. I know that. I know that the authority and power to act in the name of Christ is here on earth. I know that.

Thanks for all the love my friends and family.

Here are some pics of a slug that I found in my shoe. (yes I had already stuck my foot in the shoe) Other picture of my planner and my desk. (just thinkin about Halloween and skiing.... not homesick for those things)

 

 

Burgers and Rain

Heyyyllooo friends!

This week rained and rained and rained and rained a little bit more... It also rained. 

Last P day I made some pretty awesome burgers and fries and just thought I would send a pic to my fellow Americans who understand a beautiful burger!

So we had three interviews for baptism this last week and one of them didnt pass and the other two passed but cancelled the baptism 5 hours before! Their family couldnt come to the baptism so they marked for the next week! I was super upset because we have transfers today, but with my beautiful luck I got to stay in the area!!.... With my companion....  I know that by far this has been the hardest relationship in my mission but hey I get six more weeks to learn to love him haha! He is a great missionary and I have a lot I can learn from him! 

We got to go to Curitiba this week because my companion had to do a medical check up or something and My goodness Maria!!! Curitiba is so beautiful! I had never seen the city itself! I felt like I was in the states again! I was also super closterphobic (spelt that wrong) because the buildings are huge and there is no end to them! 

Well thats all folks!

Te amo
