Monday - Elder Black and I got hungry and we decided, "Lets make chicken nuggets!". And so, we did just that! And let me also say, they were FIRE. I think we could start our own chicken nugget business and call it: Chicken Nuggets.... its got a nice ring right?😉🤣

Tuesday - Made a lot of contacts today! But also had 2 cool, and funny experiences. They both happened when we were going back home. 1st, we found a phone on the ground and immediately thought, "what do we do?". We tried to see if anyone was nearby but no one was around and all the houses didnt have light. So we decided to bring it home and find someone in the morning until it rang. I answered the phone and explained the situation. We then coordinated and a dude on a bike passed by in 3 minutes asking for the phone. Im glad to see how God used us to help that man get his phone back. The 2nd thing, we enter the house and there is water EVERYWHERE on the floor! Turns out our fridge was not... fridging (new word😆). So we did some cleaning😅

Wednesday - MISSION DEVOTIONAL and Interviews! Something I loved that President explained to me is that we each have a level of ability and a level of faith. When we start the mish, the level of faith should be higher than our ability and when we end the mish, the level of faith should still be greater but be MUCH higher than our level of ability. I thought it was cool to show how we have our abilities but with faith, the spirit magnifies our abilities to new heights that are unatainable with just our physical or intelectual abilities. I also got to do a division with Elder Vasconcelos in his area and Sister Bikman had given me a Yoga mat to take back to our house so.... i did a division with a Yoga mat on my mat all day😂

Friday - THE CHICAGUISTAS ARE BACK ONCE AGAIN!! (Play "the boys are back" from High School Musical 3) That's right, another division with my boy Elder Child! (And possibly the last one🥹) We did so many contacts but found some really good people! The highlight of the night was when Elder Child did a baptism interview with someone on the phone who was at a restaurant birthday party!🤣 I couldn't help but hear Elder Child repeat each question 3-5 times. He asked me, "is it me?" And i told him it couldnt be. This was confirmed to us when we heard a young boy at the restaurant yell, "Dad! Im hungry!". Shoutout to Elder Child for pushing through

Saturday - Phrase of the day when talking to Elder Lopes: "Elder Fisher is a Fisher of men, Elder Black is a hunter of men" (Elder Black likes to go hunting) We went to confirm our friends for church today and met Alessandros kids! These guys are awesome! They know how to do wheelies (grão em português). I have officially told myself, i need to learn how to do a wheelie when I get back. We also knocked some doors and some random person gave us a bag of fruit which turned out to be a miracle as we gave it to a family that didnt have any food!
Sunday - Ngl, it was a difficult Sunday morning. Only one of our friends was able to make it to church and people we had on date for today didnt make it but, D&C 123:17 right! Something that stood out to me during fast and testimony is when our bishop explained that we can see a miracle each day in the mirror, we are the proper miracle of God! I thought that was so cool! I also learned today how much we need to include members in the work. One of the people in our ward, Duda (Maria Edwarda) felt like she wasn't doing much to help so I asked if we could do a few visits with her. It was awesome to see her share her testimony and when I thanked her, she thanked me for finally having a chance to help!

| 3 Nephi 11:37 - And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and become as a little child, and be baptized in my name, or ye can in nowise receive these things. |
I think as people, we rely a lot on our proper ability and skills instead of Gods. When we rely more on our faith in Christ and God, our efforts are magnified a million times more than our ability! Alma 36:3, trust in God, and he will deliver you... always.
