This week was pretty good, I'm not gonna lie. I forgot to write President Lago on Pday. Whoops. I had my first district meeting in this new area (at the church) and we played ping pong afterwards. I dominated, of course! As we were going to teach a lesson to "Santa Maria" (that's what we call her) we noticed a hidden community behind the soccer field. We went over and started contacting and found some fantastic people! We ended up getting a couple of baptismal dates! In fact, by the end of the week, I got a lot of baptismal dates and we've got 5 people who can be baptized this next Sunday!
Thursday was Thanksgiving in the States. We were able to call home and I called when our family was playing in their yearly "Thanksgiving Bowl" football game. It was great to see everyone! My comp and I had a sweet little dinner of our own, complete with a whole chicken, potatoes, beans & rice and Coca-Cola. I'm so thankful for being a missionary and I'm so blessed! I love my family, the people of Brazil, and the Lord!
I've learned the true meaning of daily repentance and will continue to follow the prophet's wonderful counsel with these things. I don't want to waste any of my or the Lord's time. I think we might baptize Maria! (Sister of Max) She's a strong, catholic gal, but with all of the proof and answers to her questions, there was nothing else she can do but know the truth.
We had a leader's conference in our zone and so when we were in the office, I got my Christmas package from home! We get to open little presents every day and on Dec 1st we started off strong by getting Swedish Fish. My comp was soooo happy!
I bought a ring (so girls will leave me alone - thinking that I already got a woman) and I bought a bible this week and it is comin in clutchhhh. I bought it in a weird shopping center thing. It felt like Charles Dickens Christmas Festival back home and I loved every minute of walkin around there! Not including the section of stores where people could buy inappropriate items lol. I've been using my bible so much too cause I bought more scripture tabs/markers. I'm not bible bashing, but I'm just provin people wrong and sealin my testimony lol. Thanks for the Christmas decorations! I hope you guys had a great turkey day! Love y'all!
