Monday-Regular Monday stuff, numbers,
meeting with President, lunch, and a bit of sleep.
Tuesday-Today we had to plan to do A
TON of stuff for the week. We very rarely work in the office, but today was
filled with power points, slide shows, numbers, and statistics.
Elder Hunt with new missionaries
That night all of the missionaries
who have one transfer in the field and their trainers came to spend the night
for the training the next day.
Wednesday-We split up into two groups
with two APs in each group. Elder Da Silva and I took the group of new
missionaries in the van to President's house and Elder Felix and Flores stayed
in the office to train the trainers.
Great day! :) I gave training on
resilience, which is much like determination. I used an audio clip of when Buster
Douglas became the first man to knock out Mike Tyson, along with other
scriptures and quotes such as- "Perseverance is demonstrated by those who
keep going when the going gets tough, who don’t give up even when others say,
“It can’t be done.”-James E. Faust. We also talked a lot about our
"whys" of being on the mission, it was a very powerful training and
the spirit was very strong, great, great day.
Thursday-Today we had leadership
counsel in Barueri, a good two hours by train and bus at 5am. We talked about a
lot of new things and passed a ton of new information. It went well.
That afternoon we returned to our
area and we did a division with Elder Messick(my old comp) and Elder A Souza in
our area because Elder Messick and other missionaries such as Elder Alvis ;)
had to go to the police station the next day very early in the morning to renew
their American visas. Awesome day! :)
Friday-WE found tons of new
investigators today!!! We started working in another huge favela that we found
close to where we were already working. We found tons of great people who The
Lord has prepared to accept his message. The time is right, and the time is
now! :)
Elder Barros from Africa with Elder Hunt
Saturday-We did a division and stayed
in our area with Elder Barros from Africa to do interviews! :) Another great
day of hard work!
Cynthia, Cristian, Rodini, and Anderson with Elder Hunt on their baptism day
Sunday-Today we had the baptism of
brothers 19 year old Cristian and his little brother Rodini. Their mother just wasn’t
baptized with them because it was that time of the month and she didn't want to
get in the water. Also, Cynthia and Anderson were baptized! Cynthia is super
elect! She lives close to the church and has changed so much in such a short
time due to the miracle which is The Gospel Of Christ :)
Happy Birthday Elder Flores!
Amazing day, and to
make it better, it was also, Elder Flores' 22nd birthday!!! :) Tambien, estoy
aprendiendo español con el, muy bien!!! :)
The Assistants
A cool shot
This was a great week, the mission
also did better with 63 baptisms in the week, but much more is yet to come!
:)
