From September 8, 2015
Alright, where did I leave off? Oh, right! This week was a
blast, just from the get-go it was hard. I'm battling the climate as the
weather is proving difficult on both my allergies and unfortunately that has
turned into a head cold. Don't say that mission life isn't tough some times.
Even when sick, I have to get out and teach. Or I'm being a slacker.
We had the privilege to switch companions on the last week
of transfers........ yay. So I have this week to work and
maybe I'll stick around to finish what I started in the next transfer. I'm
sorry that I don't have the time to respond this week to your personal
messages. I had to give a rather lengthy report to the president about my new
companion and what's going on here.
Fun story of the week! We were wandering (yes, that happens
here) and I felt the impression to return to a particular home we had visited
some 16 days before, to try to teach there. I was already programmed to go to a
less active members home to visit, but I kept feeling impressed. After the
second time, I couldn't ignore it, and we went to the home. A young lady (of
25, She’s already married, sorry amigos) came out; we introduced ourselves and
were let in. I was impressed that there was a family reunion taking place and
in that lesson alone we invited 6 to be baptized to which ALL accepted! Two
unfortunately live in another state of Brasil, but the other 3 are fair game.
The last one, we have trouble communicating with as he is half deaf. But, we
are having success and are happy.
NOTE: baptisms are coming!
Até Próximo!
