Love you more than… eating fish with the teeth eyeballs and bones

Elder Santos from the north of Brazil was missing eating fish, so he made us some fried fish for us to eat and we ate it all hahah

Yesterday the four of us had gotten home to our apartment, and we were sitting on the roof drinking an ice cold limeade mmmmmm

We got the transfer call from the assistants.  My companion Elder Cunha is staying here.  Elder Santos is being the leader of our zone and Elder Tirado is staying here to finish his training. And I’m getting transferred to Rio De Dineiro in the area of Barra do Piraí.

Transfers are hard because you have so much to wrap up and to prep fora new elder and members that want to say good bye to.

It’s so close to the baptismo (baptism) of Danielle this next week!!!! We are leaving a lot of people behind which is rough. But this week we found of a bunch of new people and a new teaching group for Elder Cunha and his new companion Elder Anderson.

The work never ends. Missionaries move, people are converted, people are tempted, but the work never ends.

Everyone is saying that it’ll be a hard area and that it’ll be rough, but I can’t help but being excited!!

I know that the church is true!!!!
I know that we have a Heavenly Father and that He wants to bless us. We have commandments so that he can help us.

I love you all so much

-Elder Sheffield

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!
