"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, babies and slightly smaller babies, welcome back to another week from Elder Fisher!!"(Shoutout to anyone who knows the reference😆)
How it going everyone?! Fun fact, I just discovered right now how to put my keyboard in english and not portuguese so hopefully there won't be any more grammer errors (besides the ones that I continually make as a human being 😁) This week was honestly really cool especially with General Conference and with finding a lot of people that have interest in learning more about Christ! Here is the overview for the week:
 |
| Zone Meeting normal |
Monday - I gave my first training as a District Leader! I didn't know we did this but apparently the District Leaders are starting to give trainings during our Zone meetings. We gave a training on 3 things: Contacts, Baptismal invites, and Acompanying. I got to teach the baptism invites and it was pretty cool to share what experience I have gained along with the scriptures I use. Later that day, we were at the Elders house cooking and the Elders bought peppers (hot spicy ones) because Elder Ferreira asked them to buy peppers, but not spicy ones. And as that old saying goes "Monkey see, Monkey do..." yeah... I recommend not eating hot peppers 🥵😵

Tuesday - Today we found some really cool people to teach and watch conference. One of them was named Fabio. We were talking about sports and when he said he played volleyball I went to give him a fistbump but he totally didn't notice so I awkwardly stood there and slowly lowered my hand. But while we talked to him and showed him The Book of Mormon, this other kid on his bike passed and said "I have been looking for that book!". We gave them each one and then went to a family night where we talked about Prophets and make hotdogs and cake. 10/10!
Wednesday - TEMPESTADE DO NADA!! We went to go talk to our recent converts today about General Conference and to watch at home but out of no where it started down pouring. When we arrived at the house of our friend Rosimary, we were drenched! All throughout the day it rained and right as we were about to give up, we knocked this point on our map that had been to church a long time ago and we found Emily! She talked about how she wanted more strength in her life and wanted to change things, we explained how the Holy Ghost could help her and how she could have this gift through baptism. She ended up accepting to be baptized and our goal is that she can be baptized this coming Sunday!

Thursday - To was inviting a lot of people to watch conference and I remember from going around 2 things: 1. There is one man here who always says "Oi americano" to me with a weird hand sign and 2. There is a dog here that looks like a sheep. I would have taken a picture but I wasn't able to
Friday - Shoutout to Elder Ferreira! I had this saying stuck in my head from some movie and Elder Ferreira helped me remember which film! In the movie bolt, you have these 2 pigeons that say slowly "oh my gosh..." and I don't know how he remembered but I was finally able to make that connect! But back to the mission, we confirmed a lot of people for conference and during our tec time I did like 4 baptism interview calls for my district😅

Saturday - THE CONFERENCE MARATHON BEGINS!!!! Our goal is to help other people watch conference so I haven't been able to watch it all yet (so no spoilers!) but today we got to watch with our friends Iran, Emily, Sirleni, and a few others.
Sunday - We woke up this morning with plans to have a baptism for our friend Jean but he wasn't attending our calls and overslept so we just had the baptism of our other friend Marcelo from the other Elders area! Afterwards, we went to a members house and as the title suggests, THEY MADE CINNAMON ROLLS!!🤩🤩 We ate a few then went to watch conference with investigators. Between sessions we ran into this drunk person who ended up bringing us to house, made me play guitar, and share a message. We got to meet his family and his daughter who speaks some english and she showed interest in the BOM so... A win I guess! We then had one of our friends fall through for watching conference and so we felt prompted to watch with Sirleni again and her family was there! It was so cool to see them so involved with the conference and especially with the Prophet at the end! We gave them a BOM and while we were leaving, they were reading it!
Overall a remarkable week! Of course some things didn't go as we planned them but the Lord never left us with nothing to do. He provides us the means to fulfill his work and the miracles he wants. We just need to trust! I will try to watch all of conference this week and give my thoughts next time but for now here is a thought: 3 Nephi 12:1-2, the first be attitude is to listen to the prophet and apostles. As our President said, we should never have a reason to miss a live session of General Conference and it is true! The answers and guidance we need is in the words of God which are presented in Conference.
