Bowling with Hugo
Monday-We wanted to have an awesome
p-day, so we decided to go with Hugo to a mall to go bowling! We looked in the
rule book about things to do on p day and we couldn’t find anything that said
we couldn’t, so we went and it was awesome!
Elder Hunt is the second H on the board- He won!
I won the last game too! Lol! Then
after we had burgers and milkshakes at an American 1950’s styled burger place,
it was great! :)

Tuesday-District meeting; I gave a
training on getting more investigators to church, it was good. After we did a
division with the zone leaders.

Elder Della Piana is GREAT!
I went to the area Parada Pinto with our new
lone leader Elder Della Piana who is from Maine and is awesome!!! We had so
much success and it was a day full of miracles and it really helped me get my
excitement and animation back! :)
Wednesday-Today I did a division with
Cachoreinha 1, Elder Ellis and Cerantonio. I went with Cerantonio to visit
their investigators and to animate and motivate. We did a little competition
between us, whoever found the most new investigators and marked the most baptismal
dates wins.

After a hard, hard awesome day of work, we limped and staggered
into the door with having found 24 new investigators and 8 baptismal dates, WE
HAD WON! :)

Thursday-We got a ton of great work
done before lunch, had a good lunch, and then started a good day of work. We
were both super tired from killing it the day before, but we still had an all
right day. Also, that night we had a meeting with our Bishop so we can try to
get things better with us and the ward. The Bishop was very humble and was very
open with us and with how he really wanted to help and get things better. :) I
could feel the sincerity and I really appreciated his meeting with us.
Friday-We planned, had lunch then
found more novos and taught lessons. But unfortunately we got some very bad
news. We found out that some things had happened in the mission and Elders
Ellis and Cerantonio would have to be transferred to different areas in the
mission (don’t worry, they didn’t do anything wrong.) This leaves Elder Nunes
and I in Cachorienha in our house, in the area, in the ward. I’ve always lived
with 4 people, in my almost 9 months on the mission. Having just one
companionship is way more lonely and difficult. We also tried that night help a
member move to improve our relationship with the ward.
At a Zone Activity
"Elder Anderson, my Bud!"
Saturday-In the morning we did an
awesome zone activity where the zone met at terminal Cachoreinha and we handed
out tons of old Ensign magazines of the church, we made contacts, taught, and
took addresses. Then we did another division. I went with Elder Ellis to
do various interviews. Elder Nunes went with Cerantonio to meet all of their
investigators because we will take over teaching them.
This is one of the BEST BOOKS EVER!
I did an interview in Imirim with a
22 year old woman who was amazing, she knew so much of how God works and she
was so in tune with the Spirit. It was great! After, we went to Santana and we
helped some of the sisters there with a baptism. I interviewed a 70 year old
man who was very knowledgeable and believed in everything: Joseph Smith, Book Of
Mormon, everything. It was interesting.
My last pair of good shoes are GREAT
Sunday-We worked super, super hard
all week, tried our very best, and in the end we did not have a baptism and we
didn’t even have one investigator at church. We tried to pick them all up with
cars and everything, but nothing went right. We were sad.
For lunch we ate an amazing, huge,
10-layered lasagna! :) That night the other Elders left, leaving just Nunes and
me here in the house.

Monday-We had an awesome p day. We
went into the center of Sao Paulo and saw some really cool things; it was so
nice to get out :)
A lady in our ward made all of the missionaries a chocolate Brasilian Easter Egg! It was so nice of her!
This week I promise will be a
blessed, miracle-filled week, you will all see :)
General Conference and
Easter! :)
