OIIIIII!!! BOM DIA 
Os missionarios em Juiz de Fora

Vamos
This week in the mission we had MISSION TOUR which is when a member of the seventy comes and the whole mission meets together to become better missionaries and to get re-centered on what’s important. So, because every missionary in the whole mission was meeting together the whole week kind of revolved around that one day.
My new hair cut

I got a fresh new hair cut which looked dang good even though I didn’t know how to explain to the guy cutting my hair what I wanted haha 
>Also after hearing Nates hair cutting story I was paranoid about my trainer messing with me and asking the guy to give me a crazy hair cut haha<

We helped Thaiane, Thaslison, Thayne and Luiz move this week and I think when we said we would help them, we bit off more than we could chew haha
Us missionaries where the only ones there to help them move. We spent the whole day loading their things onto a truck and then unloading it at the new house and carrying e v e r y t h i n g up  a hill and then up three flights of stairs. They had this table made of granite and glass and it just about killed us. But in the end it all worked out. We were tired, but felt good to help out.

We spent a full day on the bus heading to Juiz de Fora which is so boring and long.


The mission tour was so good. It was good to see old mission friends and meet a lot of new people. Elder Reyes spoke to us and he is such a funny guy. We were learning a lot and laughing the whole time. 

Sundays are good. The members are so strong here, but we have a lot of people baptized that don’t come to church, so we are working on befriending them and helping them come back to church. We have a couple big families and in total about 80 members in sacrament meeting every Sunday.  Before church we visit people who are going to come to church with us and walk with them to the chapel

9-10 sacrament meeting
10-11 Gospel Principles class that we help teach for new members and less active members. Which is such a fun class. When you teach non-members you see the gospel through different eyes and think about the gospel in a different way.
11-12 Priesthood meeting

P-day Futebol!!!
After church we have lunch with a member (yummmm yum yum lunch)

I love hearing about your lives and mom I love hearing about the new things you are doing and trying. I smile the whole time reading your emails.
Congrats Nate!!! I’m jealous of how good at biking you are. You better teach me when I get back. Give Lucy love for me and the boys too.

2/8/20 Hey my familão Transfers this week and here are the Highlights: We got to see some awesome missionaries finish their missions! The new missionaries are great! I actually know one of the sisters from home. Sister Ramirez she's a friend of Jordan and Blake Andersons family, and she went on trek with our ward a couple years back! She's already speaking Portuguese so well!!  There is a 7 foot Brazilian Elder who almost played basketball, but came on a mission instead. Ssooo huge yeah!!! We went to the bus station at 5 in the morning and I got to hang out with the new missionaries catching buses, so that was cool to talk with them more. They speak a few words, but have strong simple testimonies and are so excited to just go out and DO! Elder Pinkston broke his foot and so now will be living with us until he gets his medical exams done and heals up a little. He's from American Fork and is an awesome guy! He works in a hardwoo...

We worked our butts off this week and it was great. We are in a branch here but it has a lot more members than my last area. And we eat lunch with members every day. This week we spent so much time looking for people. I’m helping my  companion get over his fear to start a conversation with strangers . H e is a great guy. Just quiet. We are trying to visit all of the less active members and updating "The LIST". We visited some people that hadn’t been to church in months. Some haven’t been in almost a year. I said to my companion that I would ask one guy to help us get to know the neighborhood and find some friends here. My companion said, “there is no way that he will want to help us”. But when we gave him a short lesson, shared testimonies and then asked him to come with us for the day, he said: “for sure”. We met a bunch of people and he bore his testimony of the church and the Book of Mormon and prayer. As a missionary, you have to be bold you have to invite with c...

So my new go to question is what have you learned lately? So here are some things I learned this week Today was already so great. Presidents wife came over to clean our house with us to show us how a pro does it. So I learned a lot about cleaning today haha Listening to music while scrubbing bathrooms reminded me good ol’ Saturday morning cleaning at home. We have a couple awesome lessons for today, with investigators!!! Aide and also Josemar and his family! Pray for them! Also, other important people that need Gods help: Jose and his adorable family, Nicolas!, Eduardo, actually… just buy a phone book from Juiz de Fora and just go name for name praying for everyone!
