Elder Hunt with Vinicious, Vitor, Allan, and Ketlyn on their baptism day
The two youngest children are twins.
Sunday (October 25)- Sunday morning
after church we baptized Vinicious, Vitor, Allan, and Ketlyn! Vinicious
and Vitor are the two littlest ones in the photo, they are actually twins! One
white and the other a bit darker!
Natasha, Raquel, Kaique, Joaozinho, and Paulo Henrique on their baptism day
We had a great lunch, then we went and worked
like crazy rounding everyone up and getting everyone to the church for the
baptisms of Natasha, Raquel, Kaique, Joaozinho, and Paulo Henrique!!! This
was such an amazing day for us! This day we broke the mission record for most baptisms
in one day, which is now 9.
A cool owl
Monday (OCT 26)-We picked up numbers
and did follow up with all the zones then we ate lunch at our favorite
churrascaria! We worked that night.
Tuesday(OCT 27)-Today we woke up
super early to get to President's house before 8am, including bringing along
another missionary and all his bags for 2 hours of metro and buses haha. But in
the end we arrived on time and Sister Farnes had made us "Power
Balls" delicious protein oatmeal balls! The whole 3 and 1/2 hours we conversed
and discussed the latest mission happenings and ideas, it was great!
Our division in Itapetininga with the Elders there
Eventually we arrived in Itapetinga,
the farthest outpost of our mission, getting close to the border of Sao Paulo
and Pará. President interviewed the missionaries there and we went out and
worked like crazy! Our new methodology with new investigators is "if they don’t
accept a baptismal date, we don’t count them as a new investigator." We do
this to use our time with only those who The Lord has prepared for us to meet,
teach, and baptize, because 2 years is not a long time!
Later that afternoon we found a woman
who had frequented the church for years and years and years and have never been
baptized. We simply invited her and she accepted, she was just waiting for an
invite, and a lot of the time, that's all it is, just inviting!
This is the awesome churrascaria that the President took us to
That night President took us to an
awesome churrascaria, it had meat, cheese, pineapple, and many other things all
cooked up on the grill!
Pizza with cheese and goiaba (a fruit) interesting
Wednesday (Oct 28)-We studied then
worked in the morning, ate lunch in the Churrascaria again ;) then took an over
4 hour $100 bus ride way back to Sao Paulo. That night we worked on everything
for the leadership counsel the next day. We worked all night until the point
where we slept on the ground of the mission office. Then, waking up at 5am to
go to the Leadership Counsel in Barueri!
Elder Hunt with President Farnes at Leadership Counsel wearing the tie Elder Hunt gave him
Another first, I lead the leadership
counsel and gave my ice cream training in front of everyone! Great day! I was
super nervous, but The Lord blessed me and it all went great! :) In the counsel
we talked a lot about the Dieter F. Uctdorf’s talk "A matter of a few
degrees" and how its applies with obedience in our mission. We also talked
a lot about how we can make the "tipping point" happen in our mission.
That afternoon we did a division in our own area with a new missionary and a
missionary who had just become senior. We took them to our favella and showed
them the ropes, we marked 37 dates that night.
Friday morning we once again woke up
very early to go give a training at President's house for many of the new
missionaries who had arrived in the field a few weeks prior. We gave out
trainings, ate lunch and went to work in our area!
Saturday-Halloween! Last day of the
month! A member made churrasco for us for lunch and we worked like crazy!
Raissa and Sebatiana on their baptism day
That
night we baptized Sebastiana and Raissa! We ended the month with 18 baptisms,
this is a first for our mission, especially for being the Assistants because we
only work in our area 3 or 4 days of the week! We are arriving at a new level,
the time had arrived, "tipping point" has begun.
Egg whites!
Sunday- Church as usual,
muitas confirmações.
