Boa tarde meus amigos! E aí beleza?!
After spending about 2 hours cleaning our apartment and going through belongings of former missionaries (we actually found a photo album of a missionary😅), here I am writing the weekly update. This week I jotted more things that happen during this so I will try something different today:

Had a member lunch today with a member that likes reading about the history of Nauvoo and the Saints! Being someone who grew up going to Nauvoo a lot, we had a great comversation about it. (Also I offically want to go to Nauvoo after the mish so if anyone wants to join me.... hit me up when I get back!🤣) We also ate this desert that was just tangerine skins with syrup. I officially know now I dont like tangerine peels but I still am thankful for it!😁
Tuesday:
We walked for about a straight hour today to visit an investigator and it was SO NICE that Elder Hall and I started singing Mr. Blue Sky! We also passed by this kid and his dad and when I said "boa tarde" to the kid he gasped at me. I guess he isnt used to seeing an American ginger in public👨🦰🤔
Wednesday:
DIVISION WITH LUIS! We had a member ask to join us while we taught and he showed up in missionary clothes and everything! It was awesome to see how even after the mish, missionaries are willing to help teach and how we are all still learning and helping each other grow!

Thursday:
We went over to our friend Joãos place to teach his family and invite him to be baptize and... HE SAID YES!!! We have continued to visit about every other day and its been great to get to know them better and one of the brothers, Mateus, gave us Brazilian pokemon cards! Its so cool to see how it compares to the ones in the states. We hopefully will also be playing soccer with them later today or tomorrow and Joãos baptism date is for next week! Please keep him in your prayers!

Friday:
Did a Divison with Elder Eyring! Funny thing, we are both still in training😅 It was actually really good! I went over to his área in the city and was practically thrown in the deep end but we ended up teaching like 5 lessons, giving out 3 books of Mormon and survived in the city with our combined knowledge of Portguese. We actually started talking to these people who I thought were our next lesson but they were actually just random people. So when Elder Eyring got a call saying we needed to leave I freaked, gave them a pamphlet, and we ran to our next lesson. Shoutout to that fam for the ice cream and conversation!

Saturday:
We went to a churrasco (barbeque) for a sister in the ward and apparently, IT WAS HER BDAY! Her entirely family ended up arriving and it was crowded. The food was also really good! We also met this dude who I think was trying to speak Japanese? Neither of us could understand😵💫
Sunday:
Did a divison with Mosias again! While teaching someone, the 3rd spiderman movie was playing and so the entire time I was telling myself "Stay focused Elder!". Another lesson we had was also difficult because there were like 7 dogs barking. Satan was definitely fighting against us but we still got our message across.

Some insights from this week:
Jacob 5 - my brother Sean recommended this section to me and it explains the ideas of the plan of salvation. I highly recommend reading it.
D&C 18:10 - The worth of souls is great in the sight of God!
It has honestly been an awesome week! Its also weird to think how im almost out of training. Just 3 weeks more!

I hope everyone is doing good and I want to thank everyone for all the emails I have sent. I know that all of you have great potencial beyond our comprehension and that our worth is great in the sight of God. Love you all!
Até mais!
