Elder Hunt with his new companion, Elder Alvis, from Texas
This week were transfers! I am here
in the fabulous big city of Itu for my third transfer with my new comp, Elder
Alvis, from Texas. He is a huge fan of football, working out, protein, and
baptizing; we're already off to a great start :) Our morning workouts are
killer, he makes incredible scrambled eggs, and I've never met anyone who can
make me laugh quite like Elder Alvis!
Last night before transfers and Elder Farias and Hunt got new comps
Monday night
Farias and I visited our recent converts and he gave his last good byes. Also,
Elder Quero and Galeano slept over at our house Monday night to catch the early
bus to get to transfers the next morning.
Elder Limo Neto and Elder Hunt at Transfers
Tuesday-TRANSFERS!!! Transfer meeting was sick! I won "the license
plate of desire" for baptizing 10 in the month. It was super cool! I
met up with all my old buddies and met my new comp, Elder Alvis! :) After we
had a short leadership meeting with the President, he talked a lot about the
difference between having a testimony and being converted. On the bus ride home I gave a huge
motivational talk to the zone.
Itu is a fun place
Showing Elder Alvis around town
Wednesday-We had
district meeting and taught a bunch of new things for the zone. We had great
trainings and the zone is pumped! On our way to lunch we saw one of our recent
converts. She was with a ton of her friends and her friends became quite
"interested" in our message, and us. At one point we asked one of
them about one of the children that was with them. One of the women responded
"He's mine, and soon he could be yours too..." woahhhhh
snakeeeeeeeeeeee. Yikes.
Eating Acai
But also today we
had a huge miracle. We went to an area I've never worked in before looking for
a member reference. We knocked on a door looking for the right house, and we
starting talking to a woman, and she began to weep. She explained to us that
that very morning she had ran out of food and money and she prayed to God,
asking to send her two of his angles if he had not forgotten her, and in that
very afternoon, we arrived at her doorstep. She was humbled and amazed. She
accepted a baptismal invite instantaneously.
Elder Hunt and Elder Zenteno
Thursday-We did a
division with Cidade Nova to do baptismal interviews. I was able to be with my
old comp Elder Zenteno again! He is one of our district leaders here in the
zone! It was so great to be with him again! :)
Elder Hunt found this suit in the closet at the house he is living in.
At the wedding of Gilmar and Leonar
Gilmar and Leonor on their baptism day with their family
Friday-We had the
wedding and baptisms of Gilmar and Leonor! They are my 2nd marriage here on the
mission and in Itu! Farias was able to come back to be a testimony and after he
had to go back to his area.
The rest of the
day we left our area and did baptismal interviews for the areas Salto and Monte
Serra. It was quite the day! Interviews and a ton of walking haha :)
Saturday-We did
more baptismal interviews and worked A TON!!!!
Claudionor, on his baptism day
Sunday-We went to
pick up the people who were to get baptized that day and they had already gone
haha. But they never showed up...later on we walked back, found them and called
for a ride for them. In the end, just Claudionor, a teenager, the child of the
miracle woman on Wednesday, came. He was super nervous, but he was baptized.
A new area that is in the countryside where Elder Hunt went finding.
It is a brick factory.
This is where they fire the bricks
We had lunch and
that afternoon we walked SUPER far away into the countryside looking for a
brick factory. We found 3 very good and very humble families who all accepted
baptismal invites for here in 2 weeks, it was spectacular!!! :)
Elder Hunt and Elder Alvis' homemade pizza

1st place in the zone competition!!!! :)
Much Love,
Elder
Hunt!!!
