#57 - YOU SPLIT YOUR PANTS?! (6/17/24)

Wheres waldo


Sim, como falei, um dos Elders aqui rasgaram as calças dele😆 Foi muito engraçado quando recebi uma ligação de que ele precisava alguma ajuda🤣[Yes, as I said, one of the Elders here ripped his pants😆 It was really funny when I got a call that he needed some help]

Hey guys! Sorry I am sending this email later than normal but I need to make this pretty quick since I dont have a lot of time so.... "SEATBELTS EVERYONE!! Please let this be a normal field trip, with Elder Fisher, NO WAY, AAWWWW" (Shoutout to anyone that knows the reference)


Flower power

Monday - We got to go to Sams Club today to help a family with some shopping and moving and as a treat, WE GOT "THE BEST ACAI"🤩🤩

Lição [lesson] with Duda

Tuesday - Today we went around finding new people and did some member visits with Duda (Maria Edward). It was actually funny the number of members we found while just walking around on the road. I thought to myself "are we in Utah?"😆

Division with Niz

Wednesday - Did a division with Elder Niz today! I went with him to visit a reference who asked for a Book of Mormon and had a crazy nice house in the middle of nowhere! He ended up giving us this hand made grape juice (which I first thought was wine) and it was really good! Immediately afterwards, i got a call from Elder Lopes who told me that he had ripped his pants out of nowhere and needed assistance! Because he didnt have uber on his phone, i had to call an uber to help him and my comp Elder Black, get back to the house to change pants🤣

Hills are hard

Thursday - I did another division with Elder Niz today in my area where we had 2 lessons incríveis! The first was with a family of venezuelans. I dont speak much spanish but with what I knew (and the gift of tongues) we were able to explain about the church and leave them with Books of mórmon in portuguese and spanish. And they said they would go to church! We then went to do a member lesson and Elder Niz and I taught the restoration. The spirit was so powerful during that lesson and the family was very engaged. I remember one of the kids looking like the boy from "Home alone" after we gave the first vision😄

In the middle of the road

Daisy and Toby

Friday - First things first, found out that Elder Black knows the game "Hand and foot". I know ive played this game once but I dont remember how it works. If anyone knows.... could you remind me how it works?😅 Today we got to walk around with a dog army all day! Our dog Daisy has gotten some friends so now we have an army. We also ran into an old friend of ours who was drunk and tried to hug and kiss both Elder Black and I. Lets just say, we slowly walked away and didnt look back. 😆

Dog army [Mom note: at least this time they weren't biting him!]

Saturday - We got an Uber to Bocaiuva do Sol to help our fellow elders with a baptism interview. During our ride, we lost Internet and had to result to good old map and instincts to find the house (luckly we found it). Then to head back, we got a bus that made me feel like I was on the bus at BYU provo again. Shoutout to free bus rides with the BYU student ID!

Bus ride

Sunday - Our friends André and Ansly we baptized today! We also found out that it would be the last Sunday for Elder Black in the area and that I.... Drumroll please.......

Até a próxima Elder Black!🥹

Will train again in my area! 

Thats right, im still in Jardim Osasco and now I have a 4th son named Elder Lima, from São Paulo! He is a pretty cool dude and I look forward to telling you guys about him this next week😁

To all those of my fellow missionarys, i highly recommend reading Jacob 5 again and focusing on how you are a part of Gods plan (v. 71)
