Hey everyone! Hope you guys are doing well and had a great week! This week was a quick one and its really hard for me to believe that we're already half way through another transfer here. The time has been passing by really fast. This week was good one too! We had some difficulties finding people but other than that we had a good week, a bunch of people in sacrament, and a bunch of work with members! I am really starting to love being here and love the people so much more!


On Monday we went to this market because my comp wanted to buy stuff for his family so that was super cool. It had so many cool things that we could look at. It was definitely a big tourist place, and it was the most I've felt like a tourist so far. It was really cool to see some brazillian stuff that the people make and some cool art too!

This week was full of lessons! We have been trying really hard to focus on the people that we are teahing and helping them to progress, so we met a couple times this week with multiple people and it was awesome to help them to understand and teach them about Jesus Christ. We are making good progress with some people and are hoping that Eric's baptism happens this week! We were also able to have some awesome spirit filled discussions so that was super sick, the feeling of the spirit when you are teaching is such a cool feeling and its awesome to be feeling that when we are teaching.

One really cool experience that happened this week was on Sunday we were walking around looking for this guy named Wagner. We had contacted him earlier in the week and were coming back for the lesson. We pulled up to the house that we had first talked to him at, and the lady there told us that he wasn't there and that he doesn't even live there, but she gave us directions to his house. (This actually happens a lot more than you think, people here just chill in front of other peoples houses.) So then we went searching for him and we finally found the house that the lady was talking about and it was a house with like multiple houses inside. So we started calling out for him and asking people about him. Instead we found Jaime, who is a member of the ward with some serious health problems. It was an awesome opportunity to be able to get to know him a little better and minister to him. We're gonna help him clean out his house later in the month and we're going to the Elders Quorum activity with him later this week. It was such a cool opportunity to see how the Lord guided us to find him. We never even found Wagner. It helped me to learn about the power of the spirit and following the promptings.

Quick Spiritual Thought:
2 Nephi 22:2
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation.
We read this scripture during a lesson this week and it was so cool to say these words out loud because it is so true. There is so much strength and power in the Lord and especially bearing testimony of the Lord.

Other than this stuff, nothing else really has been going on. I hope you guys all have an amazing week! Would love to hear from each and every one of you! Spread Love!

  What up everyone! How are you guys doing? Hope you guys have a had a solid one. This week was super awesome! We made a goal to find good people this week and it went really well! We had some really good lessons but it was also a real grind so pday is coming in clutch. We managed to get 4 people in church this week which were all new people from this week! It was a big time miracle. We are also hoping to get two people on date for this last weekend in March! This month and transfer have really flown by. Time flies on the mission really. Next week we have transfers so I hope that I stay here but I'm willing to go wherever, it's all on the Lord's timing rn. This week we also made a big effort to go out with members and we had some awesome member lessons. The spirit is always so strong when we get out with the members and it's been so helpful! The work here is going really well and I'm super excited. The miracles are coming which has been awesome. Just gotta keep grin...

Whats up everyone! Hope you guys are doing well. I'm solid. This week was kinda crazy. We've been living with six elders in one house for like a week now and it's been crazy. It's so hard to keep anything clean or organized and we have like no food but it's been way fun.  This week was good tho! Weve been progressing a lot and I've just been taking it one day at a time. We have two dates marked for this Sunday with Diana and her son. Please pray from them! They are so awesome and doing awesome stuff! I'm super excited for them. This week might also be my last week here in São Miguel so I'm hoping to finish out strong! We've been working with some other people too and we were able to have 4 people in church this week which was awesome. It's the most We've been able to get in a Sunday here in São Miguel. This week we worked and walked alot and it was super good! This week was crazy tho because the zone leaders did a division with the assistants...

Hey what's up everyone! How are you guys doing? Hope you guys had a great weekend. I'm gonna make this email short because it's only been like 3 days.  But I made it to my new area! It's a super cool place. It's a city called Estância and it's super beautiful. There's like rivers all throughout the city and it's super cool. The people here are awesome and the food is too. Our first night a member invited us over to eat with them and the food was sooooo good. Probably one of the best meals I've had here on the mission. This area is a branch so it's a little different than the places that I've been at, but it's so awesome. The members are so great and church yesterday was awesome. I got to introduce myself in sacrament meeting and everyone was super cool. I'm super excited for this transfer! Being a District Leader has been pretty cool so far too.  The transfer was kind of crazy tho because our first bus ride took way long so we missed ...
