Hey Everyone!
We are leaving shortly for the bus station. I'm being transferred to an area called São Bento do Sul, and I'm going to be the district leader over there. I'll be more inland again and am excited for the new responsibilities. I haven't heard much about the area I'm going to, its always kind of sad to leave the people you have grown to love when you're in an area for a while.
A member gave me a camera that allows me to upload evetything to Wifi! We are still a mission that doesn't have smart phones or ipads.
The comp I'm getting is kind of new but I'm not sure if he is done training or if I'll be finishing that.
So this week went by super quickly and went really well!! On Monday we had a pretty good p-day and we were able to talk with everyone we baptized. Burden’s card doesn’t want to work on any card machine so he can’t really buy anything with his money if he wants. So he’s been pretty stressed out about that and he also broke his camera. So that’s been fun to listen to, about all the things going wrong. Something I’ve come to realize on this mission is that everything works its way out some way and that we shouldn’t complain because God has a plan for each of us.
On Tuesday we had a district conference which was great! We talked about the Book of Mormon and just had a super awesome district conference.
After that we taught several less actives and investigators and even marked a baptismal date for a teenage kid named Ericky. We also had luck with our neighbors who moved into the house below us. They are
from Rio Grande do Sul and they are super awesome.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we had pretty normal days. Something I can see is that Elder Burden is getting a ton better at teaching in Portuguese and is learning how to be a good missionary!!
On Saturday we had an amazing lunch and we got a camera for Burden. After lunch we worked with some more people and something I saw was that Burden was a little less stressed out. Ha ha
On Sunday we had a great sacrament meeting and ate lunch. Burden was able to switch the $160 dollars he had for around 670 Reals with the member so now Burden has Money!! When I was saying earlier…everything just kinda works out when you just ask. But anyway, after lunch we taught some less actives ad made a ton of contacts with people on the streets. We had a great time.
But anyways, that was my week, nothing crazy happened but I’m super happy to be here doing the Lord’s work!! I’m also super grateful for the family I have and my friends.
I love this gospel. I know it’s true and I’m thankful for my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for everything I have!
Love you all and hope y’all have an amazing week!
Love,
Elder Whelan
