Life's a Circle

 

I´ve got some weird news for this week. So tuesday night Miller and me were going to see some of the less active members and our investigaters that we have in Santos Dumont. We were on our way to go talk to our recent convert named Magna. Then we get a call from our executive secretary and he tells us that one of us is going to get emergency transfered. they hadn´t nescissarly figured out who would end up leaving but they wanted us to go home so that we could be ready to pack and leave in the next morning. After a little while of being home we got the call and they told my companion that he would be leaving. We were both kinda sad because its never cool to say goodbye to a companion so quickly. but what absolutly baffled me is who would be coming to my area. I am now companions with Elder Gross again. I tell you what it was certainly a suprise.

It was great to see him again. we talked and laughed like we always had while we were companions. but we were both blown away. we had already served 3 transfers together as companions. That in itself is already pretty nuts in the patterns of our mission. usually its at most two transfers together. We will end up serving together in the same area for nearly 4 transfers. Pretty weird stuff.

We also had a couple of other cool newsy bits too for this week. We´ve been working with this guy named sueliton. Hes a really quite guy. (kinda strange for a brazillian) but we´ve been meeting with him for about 3 weeks now and he is preparing to be baptized this saturday. he seems mostly excited to be recieving the preisthood. I´m sure he will be making a great difference in our growing ward.

We also were working with a Girlfriend of a member. her name is Viviane. She works a ton is really hard to stay in contact with her. however she is excited to also be baptized this saturday. she has been going to church for about a month too. she really has been enjoying herself here in the church and is excited to join the church too.

Thats pretty much the newsy news that i got. I´ll send you a couple pictures of my old companion. ill miss him. he was pretty much a goof ball. so I think does for this week. Its awsome to here that everything seems to be going good at home. Sorry no package yet. the next chance i have to recieve it will be Next week at Mission Tour. Thanks for the support once again. well talk to you next monday.!
