Love you more than…volleyball

It was a good week.
We worked a lot and met so many new people and families. I need to take notes during the week to remember all my funny mission stories hahah.

We have a lot of people with potential and they just need the last little push you know.
A pretty church here

On Sunday one of the members was sick, so I was called on to talk I was on the stand thinking and looking for some scriptures during the hymn when a couple we had invited walked in. A mom and her daughter. The mom is a pastor and really intimidating and it got a whole lot more tense intense to make a good impression, I shared a few scriptures and talked about the gospel in my life and my testimony, in the end, I think everything went great.

We had a scavenger hunt in the church with the members and had an awesome lesson.

Funny story of the week. We were walking to a part of the city really far away. There were a bunch of cows in the street that we were tryingto cross. My companion tried to cross but a cow kept getting in our way. My companion decided the best idea was to use the umbrella he had, opening and closing it like a mad man. The bull got up, looked us right it the eyes and so we just edged around it hahaha. My companion decided it was the wrong day for him to have on a red tie.

We found a sand volleyball court nearby and so I think it will be our new p-day activity from now on. It was hot and I got way sun burned but it wasway fun. I think we are going to go back later today to have a tiebreaker withsome of the members.

Today's p-day activity.

I want to talk about Mosias 21 and Mosias 24 (Mosiah 21 & 24). These chapters talk about two groups of people that of Limhi and theother of Alma. Both were enslaved by the Lamenites and they both had really hard problems. The first of the two tried to fight their way out. But what made all the difference was Alma’s confidence and attitude.


I love you all. Wish Nate a happy birthday for me!!!!!!!!
I liked the piano choices Sam and Jake made to learn.

a game that we played last p-day

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...
