Hey Halloween Lovers

So this was a pretty awesome week! We had a baptism interview with our investigator but he wasnt ready yet so we marked his baptism for next week! We are also teaching the same family as always and they will be baptized this week! The mom is a poopy head though and doesnt want anything to do with us. But the dad and the son are super excited about it! The son is 13 his name is Nilton. He speaks perfect English haha he didnt believe in God before and now he has a stronger testemony than most of the members here. Im super excited to see him get into the water!

Well hot mommas Halloween package wich was pretty awesome! Full of candy and some vampire teeth!! woot woot!! too bad Im in a country that doesnt even know the day halloween exists....

Nos tivemos um batismo!!!

Este semana foi bem bacana! I got to baptize my little friend Sandy this week! It was pretty awesome! We reactivated her family and now they are preparing to be sealed in the temple! 

We also got to go to the zoo last P day and it was the same as the last time but hey its the zoo!! I was like a little kid haha!

Me and my companion had our ups and a lot of downs this week but we got it all worked out and now we are some pretty good friends. I know that if we didnt have the spirit with us we would have killed eachother. I was just about ready to do what bain did to batman and break his back on my knee hahaha jk jk (just a little kidding). So if you were wondering if the mission was so lovey dovey its a lie! But you really do learn how to enjoy the good moments and leave the bad moments behind.

I love you all and I love this work till next week.

Hello Friends!

Hello My friends!

So this was a pretty great week! We worked a ton! Conference! Got in a small fight with my comp!! Life of the mission haha!

So me and my comp got in a little tussle at conference and I was super poopy headed and I was sitting on the bus to go home mad at the whole world and God sent me a little cheer up. I had a fat little faced brazilian baby (about14 months old) start trying to play peek a boo with me but I didnt give him the time of day. He didnt give up though! He started to get mad at me and smaked the chair in front of me. So as I started to play peek a boo he started laughing so hard! we literally played for a good 20 minutes and when I looked back on the bus there were 8 other people playing peek a boo with us hahaha! It is such a stupid story but It was what I needed to cheer up!

I really liked the talk by Elder Holland about moms! The closest thing to the love of Christ is the love of a mother. Everyone go hug your momma. I also liked that he said we had a heavenly mother!! You never know how much you love your momma until you spend two years away from her! LOVE YOU MOM!! MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY!

Thats me freaks.

Pooper Scoopers (his words)

Hello pooper scoopers! So This week was pretty great we got a lot of work done! We have 6 baptism dates that are solid for this transfer!

We are going to baptize a whole family in two weeks!! Im so excited! They have a 13 year old boy who speaks perfect english and he didnt believe in God. He is most excited out of all of them to be baptized! His mom told us the only reason why he talked with us is because I was American haha!! woot woot go USA! 

We havent really had too much going on this week though. We knocked a lot of doors yesterday and we had 4 people ask my companion if the language was hard for him to learn hahaha! They thought he was an american and that I was a brazilian! My comp was super mad haha but I was on cloud nine all day yesterday and havent let him forget that his Portuguese is worse than mine hahaha!

Peace and blessings freaks

Dudes and Dudets

Hello dudes and dudets

So I know you were all worried about me and stuff but dont worry I am alive! Yall want to hear something sad? So I get one less email every week haha! I started the mission with 44 emails every week in the MTC... Today I am pushin 14 haha! Now I know who really remembers me haha!

This week was pretty awesome! we prayed for people ready to be baptized and we recieved! Every lesson we taught we either had people freak out at us or spit or try to fight about it.... All the hatred and all the sharp words people said just made it that much easier to see who really was ready.

We are teaching this family who was a members contact.They have a son who is 13, speaks perfect English, and he doesnt believe in god. He accepted our baptismal challenge and his mom started crying because he wanted to be baptized. The whole family just sat and cried together for 10 minutes. It was incredible. Their friends that are memebers told us that they are putting pictures of the Book of Mormon on Facebook and telling everyone how excited they are to be baptized as a family. 

There is nothing I love more than bringing families into the gospel. It is definately not something I want to leave behind after two years. 

Well thats me folks!!

Baptism and Marriage

Hey yall so this week was super awesome!! We had our investigators get married and then baptized the next day! It was an awesome experience! His name is Andre and he was crying as he walked into the water and at the same time he was giggling like a little kid haha! It was so cool! The wedding had an awesome BBQ also! I took a pic of the BBQ pit so yall could see what its like here. Everyone has the same BBQ pit in their house! I will definately buy one! We also found a family that is really excited about the church and they want to be baptized soooooo wooohoooo!!!!

We had transfers today and my new companion is the district leader and he seams like a pretty cool cat! I have already been his comp when we do exchanges.

Thats me! Love and kisses!!

 

 

Shootings in the Hood

So this week was super crazy. I think probably one of the most crazy weeks of my life haha!

To start the week off I got bit by this little dog right on the ankle and if the owner wasnt right there I would have punted that little sucker!!! 

The day after that we were teaching this guy at his gate and durring the prayer his dog peed on my leg.... Im sure yall can imagine how I felt about that.

The day after that we were teasing this really mean dog on the other side of the gate and he tried to bite us. It was funny until the darn thing opened the gate and all hell broke lose!! Who teaches their dog to open the gate????!!!! My umberella turned into a light saber in a blink of an eye! A few swings at the dog and he backed off, but man my heart was in my hands!!

About a week ago I bought a cake and ate a huge part of it. The cake was really weird and I felt super weird after eating it. I read the label and the cake was made with pure booze and I was pretty much waisted. Yup I broke the word of wisdom on the mission. who woulda thought.. (sorry mom). Im now taking the lessons from the missionaries about the word of wisdom.

And to end the week saturday night we were teaching our investigator and his brother came running in the house yelling get down! A few road down was a huge gun fight between the police and some gangsters!! Holy cow the only moment I am without a gun I witness a gunfight!!!!! I dont know how many people died but I know the shooting lasted for a good 15 minutes. It was a testimony builder though because we had an appointment on the same road but me and my companion forgot about it and so we werent in the middle of it all!

We also have had a pack of 6 dogs walk us home every night this week! The pack is led by a huge black lab and they litterally dont let anyone pass close to use!! I think the dogs are trying to make it up to me for peeing on my leg and bitting me haha!!

Well thats my cray cray week...

See ya

Love ya
