Guess what??!?!?!?! Im going to be a trainer for 12 weeks! Ya....talk about
responsibility! This person is BRAND new in the mission. And Ill have to train
her the ropes on the mission and stuff. WOW...these 12 weeks will be
interesting! Im a little scared....haha
And look...I told you I would have a good week!
So what happened....welp...Ill tell you!
This week was super good. The Zone leaders and Assistants were thinking
about helping out our zone. And they decided on helping out our area for a few
days. So Thursday-Sunday, we had 2 elders helping us out. So they ate lunch with
us with the members and then they just worked. Contacting people, talking to our
investigators, and helping find people to be baptized this weekend. It was super
fun and I think they liked it too. The first day was with an assistant and our
zone leader. The next day was an assistant and other zone leader, and the next 2
were the 2 assistants. It was really fun and it helped us too. It helped us
because we got excited during the day and we really were excited to work and
talk to people. So it was really fun and really good too. It was also good
because our area has only had sister missionaries for like 4 years. So they
could do some work and talk to people and teach people that we cant do. So they
had a lot of success.
Anyways. Remember me talking about that family that was inactive but the
mom is a really good cook? :) Well they are coming to church every Sunday now!!!
AND her son got ordained and he passed the sacrament yesterday. It was super
cool and I was really really happy to see that! Success!
Also...we were going after a reference
given to us by a zone leader in Londrina. So we found the house and the lady
that answered is actually a member....but really inactive. So we talked to her
for quite a while. She is super awesome. She is one of like 11 kids in the
family. And the only member. Talk about hard. And she gave us food :D And the
whole family live close together. Its really cool. They are a huge family and it
is really cool to be able to see that. So I hope we can help her and her family.
But its gotta be hard to be the only member in a family so big! Also...we taught
part of the family 2 days ago. It was SO cool! Her son was there and listening A
LOT! He was a rebel when he was younger...but we talked to him and invited him
to church. He accepted and he showed up...by himself! And then during church he
said he was praying to receive an answer...and he said yesterday that he
received an answer and he wants to change and be better and change his life.
WOW! SOOOO FREAKING AWESOME! So we were really pumped and excited! Go him!
Anyways....I forgot to mention...but I started to dream in Portuguese! Go
me! Haha
Anyways...Ill get going but I hope you all have a fabulous week! Love you
alllllll!

So this was us together with the 2 elders that helped us out. These are our 2
assistants. But Elder Angerbauer (the blond) is leaving this week for his house!
Anyways....ya....good times
