This week was pretty weird without Élder Fernandez. We had to get the whole transfer set up without Fernandez so that was pretty stressfull but so far so good!
This transfer was interesting! President "transfered" us over to the ward in the center on this one. he explained to us that he wants us to find a mission home that we can have in case of emergencies, transfers, people going home, leadership councils etc,... so we are going to change wards. We are going to stay in our area until we get the house so who knows how long that will take.
I felt bitter sweet about it because if it happens fast then I wont be able to teach these great families we have!
But the cool thing is I am gonna be back living with Élder Moore and the rest of the secretaries! We were pretty psyched about that! The mission is just getting so fun! We are out here serving the Lord, learning from an amazing and very wise Mission President every single day, and getting to know and teach awesome people! I love teaching! There are very few other feelings that give as much satisfaction as the feelings you get from teaching a great lesson!
So my new companion is going to be Elder Salomão from Cape Verde! The Elder is a stud! And I love the people from Africa because they just have powerful spirits! Super excited to serve with him and it looks like we could be together for a long time because he only has 11 months out on the mission. So he came over here super early!
Our investigators are doing awesome!
I dont know if I have already talked about Odair and Denises family. But they are an awesome family that we actually found about 3 months back.
We taught them about 3 or 4 lessons and then we went back and found out that they decided to seperate because there were tons of marital problems and some pretty serious situations that made it so that we couldnt go back to teach them.
They live way up on a huge hill with very few people living on it so after we stopped teaching them we never really went by the house. One day we were walking by the hill and Elder Fernandez out of the blue was like lets go by. We were super worried about going by and finding them still in this bad situation but we went back and found them back together! And they invited us back in and were totally more open to the lessons!
This week they came to church with us. Them and there 8 year old kid Mateus. They have two more (Sabrina 16, and Bruno 11). But they loved church. And the members totally dominated this sunday!!!!! Every single member was going by and talking to them saying hi! Members went and sat with them and showed them how to sing the hymns. Then it turned out that Denise was great friends with a member of the ward and so that all worked out great!
They said they wanted to come back this sunday and we visited them on tuesday and Moore Cardenas and I are in three and gonna visit them tonight! And they were excited to go to church tomorrow! Super happy about that!!!!
They are a very simple family but I think they are starting to understand how the Gospel will bless their families!
FLAVIA CAME BACK!!!! (: She got here on Wednesday. And Rubens is pretty fired up about getting baptized and getting married. To the point where I think he kind of surprised her haha! But now the key to getting Flavia interested is the members. So we are just going to use the members as much as possible to get her integrated into the ward!
Maria and Angelo are great! They are coming to church tomorrow. But all these people need to get married! It is not so much a question of money but of time because it takes a month here!
Rodolfo went to church as well so things are really awesome!
I love the mission and I love you all so much! Hope you have an awesome week!
