This is gunna be super quick.
HEY everyone! what is uppp? so i have had lots of stuff goin on. i had
to go to londrina last monday. on tuesday, i had training all day long
and then we found out who our comps are. my comp is bomb. his name is
Elder GRINER. do not pronounce like "green." all the brazilians
pronounce it like "green." He is my first utah companion. He is from
Sandy, Utah. Yep. he is from the missionary factory.
We got back on tuesday at midnight. We worked on Wednesday. Griner
served for a couple weeks in texas because he was waiting for his
visa. apparently he worked in the biggest slacker mission of all time.
the stories that he told me were...awful. but he is super stoked to be
working with me. i am giving him the rundown on things. he is speaking
well for a newbie, but he still has lots to learn.
We are super good friends already. We are teaching quite a few good
people. Eduardo has taken some big steps and his baptism is marked on
friday at 6:00. i hope it all works out well. raulino and elaine are
also doing great. they are progressing a lot. their son asked to go to
church even though they weren´t going to go on sunday. their son...is
6 years old. yeah. that was a big step.
we had a fireside in cascavel with president tavares. it was about
missionary work. and that was cool. raulino went. then we went to foz
do iguaçu yesterday for a zone conference. which is why i didn´t get
to use internet. president told us that we would have to sacrifice a
p-day. which makes two in a row for me. but we get a couple minutes to
send emails home.
president wants us to baptize 100 people this weekend. he said that
the mission is supposed to have 100 in one week. and that after, he
wants us to baptize 100 people weekly. that means that in one
year...our mission would baptize 52,000 people. so of the average
300,000 converts per year, our mission is supposed to handle one-sixth
of them. i have faith.....i guess i need LOTS of faith......
i guess me and griner are doing good. we are becoming closer friends
every day. i hope we have a super good transfer and that i can be an
awesome example of a missionary to start his mission off.
i love you guys a ton. florida sounds like it was pretty fun. you were
running how i have been running lately to get buses and taxis and all
kinds of stuff. i am super psyched to see morgan and stuart´s new
house...and their new pet turtles. i bet they will go emo because you
are leaving morgan.
anywho. i hope everyone has an AWESOME day. and week. love you all. peace!
