Whats good everyone! Hope your guys' week was awesome and that you are all doing well! This week was really good! We did a whole lot of work this week and have been grinding contacts in our area. We had a bunch of stuff happen this week and I want to tell you guys all about it. Also, I've made the decision to put a little more effort into my emails and give lots more details on the things we are doing and the work we do! This week we had Zone P-day and Zone Conference on Monday and Tuesday. So on Monday our whole zone and the other zone near us gathered together to play Airsoft! It was so fun to be with all the other missionaries and get to know everyone in the zone. Our mission president and his wife came as well, and they played, which was so awesome! After the airsoft we all went to this nearby chapel and ate lunch, and played volleyball. It was a super cool day and I met one sister here that went to Skyline! Her name is Sister Johnson and she was hyped that we went to the s...

What's good everyone! Hope you are all doing super well! I've had a solid week. Brazil is such a cool place with amazing people. All the people here are so dope and willing to talk even though my portuguese sucks, they are very kind and patient with me. This week was a week full of meeting people from our ward. There are so many members here and they always say hi and want to talk to us. We met a bunch of new people each day this week. We also taught a lot more this week as well. One person we are teaching is named Victor and he is dope. He has a big testimony about God but doesn't care for church or for gospel, but we've been working with him a lot and on Sunday morning we went and invited him to church and really just left the decision up to him. And so we were just chilling in church and waiting for him to show up, but he didn't show up before the meeting started so we just thought he wasn't coming, but later in the meeting he pulled up and we were hyped. I t...

  Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well! This week has been kinda crazy, but it has been awesome. To start off, we had a devtional on Tuesday by Elder Gary E. Stevenson and it was awesome. It was super simple which I really liked, he spoke about the importance of Preach My Gospel in our missionary service and I thought it was a good reminder to study PMG often. It was so cool to hear from 2 apostles of the Lord in my time in the mtc. On Wednesday we packed like the entire day. We still had class which was kinda annoying in the morning, but our night class as awesome and our teacher bore his testimony and then said this awesome prayer for all of us, Great Stuff!  Thursday was crazy too! We had to wakeup at 3 am to get to the mtc travel office by 4 and then we took a bus to the train station, train to the trax station, and the trax to the airport. Checking in was super easy though because they have a specific area at the airport for missionaries to check in which was so nice,...

What's up everyone! I hope you are all doing so well, and have had a great couple weeks. I've been doing well over the last few weeks. The MTC has been solid, but I am very ready to get out of here. This is my last week here, and I leave Thursday morning at like 4 am, so that's tight. I travel throughout all of Thursday and Friday and then get to my mission on Friday morning. I am super excited even though I can't speak very great Portuguese, it's just gonna be dope to be there.  Other than the fact that I leave for Brazil this week, there isn't really a whole lot else to write about. Class is whatever and the Portuguese is coming along, I've been on my grind. Me and my comp go and play volleyball on the sand some days and other days we go workout. Life here in the MTC doesn't really change a lot, but that's alright. We had a devotional this week from Elder Godoy of the 70 and he talked about his conversion story and it was awesome. His wife also spo...
