Dear fam!
JACOB PUT A CLUB ON IT!!! Haha
Sorry to hear about that tho, it sounds like it sucks, I freakin hate injuries, my knee feels a little better it cracks and popsalot. So i pop alot of Ibuprofen. Always seems to do the trick., that and a little adrenalin.
Well we had a great week this week! the blessings just came flowing in! We started teaching a Brazillian family of four that my comp tracted out a while ago, the dad is from Rio, and the Mom is from Goiania! How about that huh? We brought two members with us who both speak portugeause, one of them was from brazil, and they got along really well. It was my first like real lesson, i got to recite the 1st vision in English and it had been kinda rough when I practiced it, but it came out perfectly when I recited it in the lesson! It was so cool! The spirit was strong!
We also talked to that 19 year old kid again, and he is so prepared, he has had some interesting experiences and we talked to him for a while that night and we gave him a chapt to read and he read that and the intro and the testimony and the witnesses. Hes a really coo guy, then...he came to church!!! I was so pumped! it was only stake conference and he made the last hour but it was awesome!!! I know his twin brother on a mish has been praying so hard for him. Our mission President and his wife were there and they spoke to the whole stake, we were so lucky! They are trying this new program thing for easier member missionary work, its a 4 step thing, and it apparently has worked really well in other areas so they introduced that and gave the stake a 6 week challenge! The members here have been doing great work, they are awesome and are really excited to help us out! Missionary work cannot be done without the members!!!
I was at a door and the TV caught my eye, and I saw Utah beat Stanford!!! I freaked out and my comps were like "calm down! theirs ppl watching!" ha, oops. neither of them understand the importance of that...silly comps.
Their has been a little butting heads in the tripanionship, me and my brazillian comp are trying to have so much patience, we keep reminding eachother to pray for patience cause we know if we think ill thoughts or anything towards our comp than the spirit will leave...and you CANNOT teach without the spirit. So we are trying so hard, I feel bad sometimes cause we talk about him in portugeuse, so he cant understand, its funny. but WRONG! I have alot to work on! I got mad the other day and , I lost patience and then I get more mad that I cant just let things go....so ive been studying alot about charity and patience and humility, Broab sent me some cool suff aobut that. Tell him thanks for me!..and the comp who makes us both insane is like 5'2'' and a baby so we could easily dismember him...agh!
I had to go get a new police letter down for my visa down by the strip, at the metro police station. We just happened to sit next to some brazillians and my comp spoke with them and they asked about the book we had so he shared that with them! i could sorta understand...i didnt say much. Ha. Its scary speaking portugeause to people who are real brazillians! dang. But we got the letter and took it to the mission office so I hope that means my visa is gettin close!
Well I love and miss you guys!!! It's so good to hear whats happeing at home! Bryson has already written me more times than I wrote him on his mish...Ima Selfish guy.
Amo Voces!
