I have written so many of these letters hahaha. But I´ve had a great first week with my new companion Elder Santos! He is a great guy and likes to work.
This week we worked a ton to contact and find new people to teach. We were able to have a good amount of success and on Sunday we were rewarded with 3 great references!! Best thing ever when a member brings a friend to church haha. So we are super excited to work with these people and help them learn more.
We were able to have a few people progress this week as well. Raimunda is ´´married´´ to a member in the ward and she moved here recently from Fortaleza. This week we taught the Restoration and invited her to pray and she said that she has been feeling a lot of peace. She said she feels really good during our lessons, when she reads and at church. This week we are going to mark a date for them to get legally married so that she can get baptized!
Also Jenni is the smartest 11 year old I have every taught. She lives with her grandma and they both want to be baptized but sadly her grandma can´t because she´s not legally married to her husband. And if she were to get married, she would lose a pension that she recieves and she needs that money to live. But this week we are going to mark Jenni´s baptism!
This week I turned 20 which is pretty crazy!! We didn´t really do anything special haha but it was a good day! We got to teach a good amount of lessons. At night a family came by our apartment to give me a present which was super nice! And on Sunday, the family that gave us lunch sang to me and made me the best dessert called torta de bolacha.
World Cup is has been a good time here! During the games everything stops, even banks close haha. But so far we have been able to teach people during the Brazil games!
Have a great week!
