Dia dos Pias

 

Yep... Yesterday was Dia dos Pais here. which means Fathers day... so... HAPPY FATHERS DAY... again... haha!!!

Oi Minha Familia! espero que tudo é bom com tudo mundo.

So this week not much has really happened. nothing super spectacular that is really awesome for this week. BUT! i will still write a great super thrilling to read letter. I hope...

So this week we had a lot of baptisms in other companionship's and my companion has to do all the interviews in the other places. so he gets the bright idea of going on divisions with the other elders and going with one to do the interview and having the other one go with me to work our area. GREAT IDEA! IF I COULD SPEAK PORTUGUESE!!!!

so I went along with it and started visiting people that we had planned for the day. as usual about half of the people we wanted to talk to that day were either ´´accupied´´ or not home. thank goodness for that. but eventually we found a person that we planned for the day that actually wanted to talk. hooray... so i try my best to start up a light conversation with her, and a miracle occurs. =)

no I did not start prophesying in Portuguese... BUT!!! I actually held a decent conversation with one of our investigators. yes i had my other Brazilian companion to help. (his name was elder Souza) it was fantastic because for the first time since i´ve been in Brazil, someone said something kinda funny and instead of laughing cause everyone else was. i laughed because i actually understood what they said! HOLY SMOKES! no my language wasnt perfect. no i didnt understand every word. but hey! i actually understood a joke. WOO HOO!!! it was a good day.

not much else has happened. I´m still working at my portugeuse. It stinks that i´m not a miracle child who learned the language in a month and called it good for the rest of his mission. i actually have to learn the language. haha! Patience is great... when you have it. haha!!!

Well Eu vos Amo! Eu Sei que todos as coisas que estã possivel quando temos fé em Cristo. quando acreditamos que ele vai respondar a nossas oraçoes, ele vai nos ajuda durante esperamos pela resposta. eu sei que a igreja de jesus cristo dos santos dos ultimos dias é verdadeira. esse obra é o obra do senhor e eu tenho o privilegio para ser parte dele. no Nome de Jesus Cristo Amém.
