Hello
gente,
T'was
another otimo week.
Last
P-day we went to a place called "Alto da Sé" which is in the Olinda
area in our zone. It is this super sick place that overlooks the beach, and
Recife. Elder Zanni and I made some
chicken and bought fix-ins for sandwiches.
We put it all in my backpack and then took a bus there. We walked (super steep streets) up to the top
and enjoyed the view. We met up with the
Zone Leaders and checked out some super old Catholic churches and then looked
at all the souvenir shops.
Later
in the week we visited our investigator Wellington a few times. He is
progressing a ton and will be baptized on the 19th. He asks tons of questions and really wants to
become a better person. We are now teaching
his brother and his father. At church on
Sunday Wellington told me and Elder Zanni that he is sad that one day we will
have to go because we changed his life and he thinks we are super legal. We are also teaching another young man,
Heryvelton, who wants to be baptized. So
we marked him for the 19th as well. His
friend gave him a Book of Mormon and he went to check out the site mormon.org.
He learned that we don’t drink tea or coffee so he decided to stop. Before we
got there!
Elder
Zanni had his birthday this week and his parents sent him money. He bought us some pizza on Thursday and it
was delicious. The pizza here is way
different, but it's a good different ya know? Also, an exciting experience this
week is that I went on exchange to Caetes.
Their house doesn’t have water right now. So Elder Ross gave me a
bucket, showed me to the backyard where they had a tank of back up water, I
scooped up a bucket-full and then showered. Definitely was a humbling
experience for a suburban boy.
Monday
was the Brazil Independence Day. This basically meant that everyone went to the
beach. So it was a little difficult to teach in an empty city, haha. We were able to have some good lessons with
recent converts and less actives.
Today
we had a Zone P-day. President presented us with this sweet workout plan and a
suspension thing that we could buy for 20 reais (approximately $5 US). It is supposed to be like the TRX suspension
system but way cheaper. He also talked a lot about what foods we should be
eating and what not. It was super great.
Hope
you all have another great week!!
