Orale!!! That was spanish btw :)
Como estão meus queridos amigos? Outra semana já passou tão rápido! Its already the last week of the transfer! Crazy!! I predict that I will be staying out here in Praia and I think Elder Puertas will be staying with me out here also. I hope so because we have a tonnnn of potential and a lot of work to bring them into the waters of baptism!
This week was pretty good! On Tuesday we had district mtg. in Angra and after we had the opportunity to visit my uncle Jason´s aunt and uncle! Their names are Josê Carlos and Filomena Brasil. My aunt Heather had sent me their address and home phone number last week so I called them and told them I am Jason´s nephew and they said we could come on over! So we did. They are awesome people. Super nice! It was also cool seeing all the pics of heather jason and their family. They fed us some really good lunch and Josê showed us around his little farm and property he has behind his home. They told us we can come back whenever we want so we told them maybe in two weeks. My comp. is really excited to go back haha.
We have a bunch of new investigators we found this week that have a lot of potential. One is named Marta. She is dating a member in our branch who is awesome.. but he works on sundays unfortunately. He has this next sunday off so they should come to church. Big baptismal candidate right there. They want to get married in the temple!
Then we have Bruno. He showed up to church on his own two weeks in a row already and he is showing a lot of intrest. I talked to him yesterday and he told me where he lives so we should be passing by this week.
We also met up with a lady named Fatima and her goddaughter Liliana. She is a little old lady that is super nice and she has a lot of faith. We will hopefully find her a ride and get her to church this coming sunday. She lives on the top of this mountain so it is a long ways for us to walk to her house. That is the biggest problem of this area, its such a huge area and we dont have transportation!
Tonight we are going to pass by Margarita´s house, the lady we have marked for baptism this sunday. Hopefully she is home and lets us share a message with her. This week is going to take a lot of work in order for her to be baptized sunday!!
As for today, we went to a famous restaurant on the island called "Quinta Dos Açores". They have really good food and especially really good ice cream. They have a lot of different flavors but the best flavor is the "São Jorge Cheese" flavor. They say that São Jorge cheese is super super good. I haven´t had it because it is extremely expensive.. Anyways, the ice cream flavor doesn´t sound that appealing, but ohmygosh it is!! Super good! I can now say that I have eaten cheese flavored ice cream haha.
Last week I said that the day where they throw water for carnival was last tuesday, but it is actually tomorrow!! I am excited but nervous at the same time lol. We shall see what happens! I see a big target on our chest as missionaries with white shirts and ties!
Well, thats about it for this week. Life is awesome as a missionary. Im out here livin it up serving the Lord! No better life!
Hope you are all doing awesome. If anybody needs anything or somebody to talk to, feel free to send me an email.
Fica bem meus amigos. Eu vos-amo!! Tenham uma boa semana!!
