alright everyone? i am doin alright. it has been an interesting
transfer with fernandes. it officially ended last night. seemed to go
by pretty quick, huh? now we are gunna find out about transfers
soonish. i don´t have any idea what will happen. i don´t know what i
really thought of this transfer. i did my part and i know i did what i
could to help people. fernandes and i ended up arguing again though.
he is SO concerned about numbers. our ward mission leader (for our
branch) told me that he wanted fernandes to get transferred because it
is annoying to have the "just-numbers" missionary. we´ll find out
soon.
APARTMENT: we have found a new house and i talked with president and
he approved the house. it is a fairly nice house for missionaries. it
was the one that he didn´t approve but then i talked with the realtor
(is this right?) and got a discount! woohoo! so president is gunna let
us move there. we are just waiting for the contract to pass. and we
got kicked out because of certain things that the owner of the
apartment didn´t like. for example, playing soccer at midnight, noise,
etc. it happened when i wasn´t here. but they decided to kick us out
now. i think they just wanted to increase the monthly payments and so
we need to move.
that is really cool how involved you guys are able to be with the
mission work. are the porters not members?! i thought they were. and i
am glad the halloween party was a success. we didn´t celebrate at all.
lol we are kinda boring because we are in brazil. are the missionaries
teaching anyone that lives close? and that is cool that you had a
missionary meeting with the seventies!! that would be so great to have
that here. i think we might have a conference with a seventy on
like...the 10th?? maybe. i dunno.
that is awesome that dad and jake are home teaching comps now! that
would be a lot of fun. i bet you guys will be able to help a lot of
people.
the sports updates are great. well...kinda. i can´t see anything. but
that is good that the giants will probably win. and that the suns
aren´t being destroyed without amare...yet. that is sad that golf is
basically done. i want to golf SO bad.
i hope the house stays as beautiful as it is now so that you guys
don´t have to continue working your butts off non-stop. but i am glad
that the reunion was a success.
i am firmly convinced that everyone believes in God. deep down
sometimes...but it is there. people have the desire to have something
more in life. that is why they need God. they are just confused. that
is why we are here. that is what we help people understand before
anything else.
as for our branch and investigators. President Mario is
still...himself. annoying and pessimistic. he isn´t helping. but
whatever. our investigators...hmmm. alex and jonathan told me that
they don´t know if they will be able to continue going to church and
stuff if i leave because they haven´t created any kind of friendship
with elder fernandes. they basically just said, "no offense man, but
if he leaves i won´t really have any reason to go to church." that
hurt. i don´t know what to do to help them if i were to get
transferred. sérgio won´t be baptized....until december. he proposed
to sandra. they will be getting married in december. yep :) i am happy
with that. fernandes is just pissed because now another set of
missionaries might get to baptize Sérgio instead of us. I am just
happy because he is progressing :)
i can´t believe that David Hamblin is already home. Daniel Forrest
will be getting home pretty soon, too, right? dang.
i am sorry that i can´t stay long, i am hurrying. but morgan...jackson
can totally protect you. but you have a good point...that book is
creepy. and lauren...it is definitely not time for christmas music
yet! come on!! morgan, thank you for the pictures :) i wish i had
those krispy kremes!! lauren, keep being a good example to your
friend. maybe she won´t change instantly, but she will remember you.
always try and take her away from the bad influences. and no...we find
the apartments. lol. blake...stop getting bigger. i am going to look
ridiculous compared to you when i get home. and i like your
sunglasses. you should send me a pair. not that i could use them. but
just hypothetical, ya know? cara...meu companheiro (biscoitinho) tá me
deixando louco com os números. eu quuaaase bati na cara dele quando
ele falou que a transferência foi estragado porque nao teve um
batismo. chatão cara.
anyway. sorry i am running this week. amo vocês. you guys are
spectacular. i miss you guys a ton and i love you all. have a
spectacular week. keep being missionaries. let the miracle of the
gospel bless everyone´s lives. até maisss.
