This week was pretty busy because we had the AP's staying with us to help out in our zone and each day was long and tiring. Here are the highlights from this last week:
 |
| Family search |
 |
| Elders and sisters |
Monday - Sleep.... that is all I remember 😆
 |
| Baptism tree |
Tuesday - Zone Meeting! We called our entire zone to have a meeting where we had a TREASURE HUNT! Normally what happens at these meetings, we have a few presentations about improving our work and teaching but we wanted to do something fun so we made a treasure hunt. It was pretty funny to see all the missionaries running around the church trying to finding and answer riddles we made. The other highlight of the day was having lunch with Bruna! She is a recent convert here and the cool thing I learned about her.... SHE WATCHED BARBIE MOVIES!! (may or may not have geeked out with her about this😉)

Wednesday - The AP's arrived!! We waited until the AP's, Elder Eduards and Hyatt, arrived and did a small division with Elder Hyatt. We first went to lunch with a part member family and actually invited the father to be baptized. He accepted... but for sometime in the future. Pray for Valdivino. Then while walking around we found... and oorbi gun! This toy is very popular here so what did we do.... we bought 2 for the 3 of us. I'll explain more in a sec but first, Rainha. We went to visit our friend Daiana, and we found her friend Rainha there. We started teaching them and then Rainha opened up to us. She told us she was looking for more peace and that she had been thinking of taking her own life and prayed to God to help her. She made that prayer the day before we came. We are now helping her come unto Christ. And to end the night, remember that oorbi gun?? We waited until Elder Eduards got back from a different division to then ambush him with oorbis.... it was pretty funny🤣

Thursday - 2 division in 1! Elder Hyatt was going to do a divison with an Elder in a different area but he got sick. We had medicine in our house so they came over to our area. After resting a bit, I went to work with Elder Latus (the elder that was going to go with Hyatt) in our area. It was cool to see a new missionary having a stronger desire to serve. We also found our friends Erika and Natali and marked them on date for the 29th of December for baptism! And to end the night, we took some cigarettes from one of our investigators to help him with the word of wisdom🚬

Friday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELDER FISHER!! I first want to say thank you to everyone who sent me a message. Sorry I can't respond to all of the messages but I truly do appreciate it. For my birthday, the Elders decided that I needed to be shot 21 times with oorbis (for my age) and that we would get CHINA BOX (Bascially panda express) the day was honestly pretty chill and I ended the day getting a cake from Cris. Like last year, he remembered my bday

Saturday - Palmeira... I am back again!!!😆😆 I went to Palmeira with Elder Hyatt to help with some baptism dates in their area. I went with Elders Bear and Frederickson to help Eliskar and Bianca. We went to visit Eliskar and got the signature of the mom for her to be baptized. We then went to visit Bianca and tried to get the signature of the parents. Sadly the parents want her to wait longer but I know one day Bianca will be baptized.
Sunday - We stayed in Palmeira for church and had the baptism of Eliskar while Elder Christakis had the baptism of our friend Lorena in out area. We then headed back to Ponta Grossa with Cris (I got to sleep for a bit). When we got back, we immediately starting looking for our friend Raquel. She was going to be baptized today but no one knew where she was. Elder Hyatt and I walked around for about an hour until we found her. She actually forgot about her baptism so he helped bring her to church and she got baptized!

During my study this week, I read a scripture that I always knew but didn't put into perspective until now. Moroni 7:45. I read the part at the start that says how "Charity suffereth longeth". The more and more that I com to meet people and understand their situations and connect it with Christ, the more I come to feel for them and carry their sufferings with them. As disciples of christ, we promise to help other people carry their sufferings and I find it a way to better connect with the person and connect them to Christ!

But that's about all for now. I look forward to seeing what this next week has in store!
Até o próximo!
