Guess who's Back? It's ME

-
This morning I woke up made some hash browns for breakfast and then person study. I don’t think I ever told you that I found an old beat up a guitar in the chapel. I’ve used every p-day cleaning, retuning, shining, sanding, replacing screws and parts and making it look all brand new.
so I have bought a new guitar but we’ll see if they let me take this one. hahaha
So this morning I played some hymns and did some guitar practice.

Next, cleaned the house. Cleaning here is different because everything is tile you just get a bucket of soapy water and just throw it everywhere; walls, floor etc and just scrub it with a broom. Then wash it down the drain, rinse, wash
repeat ( a lot easier than dusting, vacuuming sweeping then mopping
haha)

I leave tomorrow for Juiz de Fora. We have zone conference with zoneLeopodina, zone Juiz de Fora and zone Lafeite. All of the other missionaries in the nearby cities are coming today to sleep here and then well all take a bus to Juiz de Fora.



We had a few of our baptism dates fall through this week but all is well.

We had a going away party for Erica who leaves on her mission in 3-4 weeks.

We plan a branch activity every week. This week was trivia and each question correct was chocolate gained, so it was fun.


We planned a fireside for the branch and called the presidency of the mission to come. We talked about the Book of Mormon temples and how we can help the members. Everyone was crying and I think it really helped get everyone excited again.

The doctor who was going to operate on Marcelo, got in a car crash and broke his hand. So the surgery got pushed back 2 months!!!! Marcelo is anxious and obviously sad to have to wait even longer

Luiz Fillipe has been going to church for a couple of weeks which is awesome and we are going to have a family night with him tonight.

Everything’s great here.


congrats to mom!!!!!!
I always love to hear about how your studying is going
I didn’t even know about temple changes!
I miss my family so much



I love you guys so much

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!
