But in other news, heres the update from this week (from what I wrote down😅)
Monday - DEEP CLEAN OF THE HOUSE... and hotdogs while playing soccer in the rain😆 yeah.... we do weird stupid stuff as elders. But it was fun!
Tuesday - Today was a simple day of finding new people to teach but as we were talking, we found Bob the Builder! I didnt know he existed here! As we were also heading back to our apartment, someone was playing some american music so I got a few minutes of some Shawn Mendes😅

Wednesday - Division with Elder Granados! We had a pretty cool miracle today with our friend Christopher. He had talked to us yesterday about how he wanted to be baptized and I told him we could pass by and talk to his parents about it. We passed by today and explained how it works and the importance of baptism and his mother supports him in this choice! She had some questions that were very specific about the church and baptism and we shared with her the answers using the Book of mormon which helped her permit her son to be baptized! During the division, i went to go talk to this young girl and after talking with her, Elder Granados said, "nice flirting to convert"😅 lets just say, chapter 14 of PMG is not a thing😂

Thursday - Zone Conference! We focused a lot on the mission purpose and how it guides everything we do. We also focused on inviting people to church and I loved how we talked about the symbolism of the sacrament and the church itself as being symbols of coming unto Christ. (Funny note during the conference was when it started to downpour and the rain sounded like birds chirping) Our mission president also gave us all AIR FRYERS and we tried making french fries with it. I was like Flin Rider "Man, i have got to get me one of these!"

Friday - We worked with tec for a few hours today, calling referrals from Facebook and sending them out to missionaries. While we were going back home, we ran into a drunk brazilian comedian. Let's just say at times I dont understand american comedians so... we really didnt understand anything he said. I kinda just fake laughed but understood nothing. He is still a child of God!

Sunday - Today was a Sunday a little different. 1 of our friends ended up making it to church today and I was called last minute to give a talk. But right before my talk, a lady passed out right beside me! She was already but it startled us. We then had lunch with a member couple who each served missions and it was cool to talk about their mission experiences. While leaving, I saw a recent convert that I baptized in Jardim Osasco and he asked what I was doing and I asked him the same thing🤣 But I ended the day with technology and I taught Elder Ferreira some computer stuff and english. I felt like a dad teaching his son😆

Other cool things from the week:
- I got a soccer Jersey for free!
- my parents sent me a soccer Jersey with my name on it!
This week I was reading in Alma 32 where Alma talks about faith like a seed. Many people shared this scripture with me, Alma 32:27, but I feel like I didnt put it to heart until now. Any bit of faith is faith and with it we can do all that Christ asks of us, we can follow his example and recieve access to his power by making covenants with him, the first being baptism (Moroni 7:33-34)
If someone came up to me and asked me to end my mission right now, I truly wouldnt want to. I am learning só much and I know I am where I need to be. If you too are thinking of a mission and need a little push, please serve one. God needs you and is calling you! (Alma 42:30-31)
Até o próximo!
