I know I always say this but this week flew by!! This week went well and me and Elder Austin are getting along better than ever and workin' hard here is Sao Bento do Sul!
So on Tuesday we went to the neighborhood called Brasilia and worked there. One thing about this city is that everything is far away so we have to take a bus everywhere which sucks sometimes. Ha ha. Anyways, one cool thing we found was a cool place to eat dinner! After we ate we got another bus and went to 25 de Julho and taught a recent convert named Yana. She's super cool and wants to serve a mission as well!!
On Wednesday we worked in the neighborhood called Oxford/Cruzeiro and we were able to teach an investigator names Cassio who is so close to baptism!! He just needs to stop drinking coffee and then he can be baptized!! During the day if there were places that sold ice cream we would stop by real quick to buy some ice cream because it's super hot outside. haha But Wednesday went super well and I could definitely feel the guidance of the Spirit as we taught.
On Thursday we got our hair cut by a member because our hair was getting long from not cutting it for a while then we worked in Brasilia again but it started to pour rain outside so we found some shelter and waited it out for a while. :) After that we were able to get some stuff done and had a great rest of the day.
On Friday we had an amazing day!! We ate at Subway for lunch because we didn't have a lunch with a member and then after that we were able to teach some super cool family who I think at first thought we were missionaries from the Catholic church. Ha ha. But it was funny. They said that even when we said the name of the church and taught about the Book of Mormon and taught about Joseph Smith. But anyways, we taught Cassio but he still hasn't let go of coffee. He's killing me! ha ha. But after that we took a little time to find Austin a watch then headed over to Yana's house and taught her about prayer because she said she's been having some problems with prayer like how and when she should. She forgets a lot of stuff. haha
Saturday was a very normal day. We've been having very cold weather here the past three days so that's been AMAZING!! It's been cloudy and rainy but at least I haven't been sweating and dying from the heat. haha.
Sunday went great! So before today the missionaries always blessed the sacrament in the branch so that finally changed, there are priests now!! Two, to be exact. So today was the first time and I was there to help if something went wrong and I was kinda seated by them but a little way so guess what?! I didn't get the sacrament!! haha. They didn't see me and I was so pre-occupied with watching them that I didn't get any bread or water haha. Don't worry, I took the sacrament later after second hour. But after that we ate in our apartment some Top Ramen and grape juice then left to work. We found some cool people and taught a good amount of lessons of the restauration. It was great!!
Another transfer day came but me and Austin are staying in Sao Bento! This transfer is going to be great. I hope you all have an amazing week. Love you all!
