Baptism!

So here’s a quick recap of the week

23-11-19

Today was great! We woke up and studied and stuff and then we had lunch with Sister David which was pretty good. After that we taught Keio and Henrique and Marlon and Virginia. We invited Marlon and Virginia to get baptized and excepted! Then we invited Keio and Henrique and they said no ha ha. After that we cleaned the baptismal font and got everything ready for Christian’s baptism. We had the baptism at 8:30 but everyone was late ha ha so it didn’t work out exactly as planned. But Elder Burton was able to have his first baptism! He did it perfectly! After that we all talked for a while and then we had to go home because it was past the hour we had to be home so we ran home and went to bed.

Today was awesome as well and super spiritually uplifting. We woke up and got ready for church we go through a little bit early and waiting for everyone to show up. We then had sacrament which was super amazing and then we give Christian a gift of the Holy Ghost! I’m so excited for Christian and how his life has change so much and will continue changing for the better as long as he stays on the Lord's path. Afterwards we ate lunch with Sister Lana which was great then we taught David and his family, man I love this family. They are all from your Rio de Janiero, they’re super crazy and energetic ha ha. When we left Burden said “man I was understanding everything at lunch but I didn’t understand a single word they said!” ha ha. Elder Burden actually is really good at speaking Portuguese but has a problem understanding. He gave his testimony today at church and it was really good actually!

After that we tried to do some more work and then we got home and deal.

On Tuesday we had a districts reunion which wasn’t too bad. After the reunion we had lunch at this old lady’s house name Dival. She kept talking about how these men put her front door on backwards upside down sideways crooked, Ha ha ha. I got tired of hearing all the things he did wrong but we had a great lunch none the less. During the day we try to teach several people but most of them disappeared or didn’t want to be taught that day well, it happens. On Wednesday we didn’t have much success either it was super hot and we had to take some breaks because Burden was dying ha ha.

On Thursday we had our weekly planning session and we talked to some people the two highlights of Thursday were that Burden got electrocuted by the wall outlet when he was trying to plug in his fan then when I fixed the wall and he got hit with the moving fan but the moving fan doesn’t have protection over the fan blades so he got whacked with the fan ha ha this guy is hilarious. He’s covered in bug bites and just kind of shows he’s new to Brazil ha ha.

On Friday we had the baptism interview of Christian that went well he passed ha ha we ate dinner with Maher and Marcello and our district leader. afterwards we were able to mark a baptism date for a man named Fernando!

Anyways this week absolutely flew by am super happy to be here doing the Lord’s work!
