Elder Hunt with some of his Brasilian friends
This week will mark one year in the field for Elder Hunt (after the CMT)
Acai for two
Monday-Tons of frango assado (roasted
chicken), pull-ups, and Conheça Os Mormons (Meet the Mormons) hahaha, great
day. Elder Alvis and I have too much fun together! Best comp!
Zone Itu
Tuesday-We had an awesome zone training!
Today we let a bunch of awesome missionaries in our zone who usually never give
trainings give trainings! We have two sisters in a zone called Porto Feliz, (or
Happy Port) haha, who will be baptizing three weeks straight this next week. Generally
Porto Feliz is a difficult area that hardly ever baptizes so we invited those
two sisters to share with us what they are doing to have such good results! We
also had two other great missionaries give trainings too! Great trainings!!!
Fabulous!
Wednesday-President asked me to do a
division with an Elder in our zone who wanted to go home to try and help him
out. The division was fine, I did all I could, but in the end, the Elder went
home :(
Thursday-We did a lot of follow up
like we do everyday. We are working a lot in Sao Judas and Aeroporto.
Look at this cool bug!
Friday-Today was one of the best days
in my mission :) We knocked a ton of doors today and we marked our baptismal
interviews for later that evening. Our first 7 doors we knocked, people
answered, and we marked baptismal dates with them! Every person accepted, it
was great! :)
During our door knocking, I was
talking on the phone with one of the elders in our zone and out of nowhere, a
74 year old man opened his door and invited us in. He began thanking us and
talking very well of us for leaving all we had in our homes to come teach and
help him. He did that for about 10 minutes, then he stopped and for 10 more
minutes he talked about how he went to church once and it was the best
experience of his entire life- how he felt, how he was treated, everything. We
then invited him to be baptized that Sunday, and he accepted without skipping a
beat :) What an amazing man.
That night 19 year old Amabile and
her 17 year old sister Ana Flavia were interviewed. They have been in a huge
fight for the past 8 months and finally through The Gospel of Jesus Christ they
have been able to forgive one another. :)
Franklin, a recent convert is preparing to serve a mission.
This is his One Direction tattoo.
Saturday-I went to Porto Feliz to do
interviews for the sisters. I went with a recent convert of Morada Do Sol who
is preparing to serve a mission. His name is Franklin, he is our buddy and
we've done divisions with him before; he is an awesome fun guy. It’s him who
had the 1D tat.
Elder Alvis, David (new member), Elder Hunt
What handsome young men!
We also went with David to The "Tenda" which is like
the Costco of Brasil and we bought all of our supplies for our Pday pizza
making activity!
Andre on his baptism day
Sunday-We picked up Andre our miracle
74 year old! We brought him to church and to our surprise he is the relative of
a very strong member of our ward. When the member saw him and found out he was
going to be baptized, he cried and cried with joy! After church, the member baptized his uncle Andre.

Later that afternoon Amabile was

my last week here in Itu, because next week are transfers! Next week we will
see my fate! :)
