This week was great!
We ended our time with a baptism the last night in the area, we had marked Valerias baptism for thursday night and then heard that we would e transfered thursday morning so the ward helped out and valeria really wanted us there so the last night in the area we had a great baptism at the fat carlos guys house because the church didnt have water. I really liked that area, the people there were so great, and the bishop is a boss, he was the General of the brazillian special forces until 2 weeks ago. He told us some pretty sweet things he had done.
But my new comp and area are super great! My area is sooooo cooool! like noone here has ever heard of the missionaries, we also have a few little cities out in the boonies that we have to take a bus to. But the members here are really excited and really want the church to open a church in this city. We have to take a bus about 30 min to goiania to go to church. it was kinda interesting because this is the farthest ive ever had to take investigators to church but yesterday was the day that i had the most people at church on my mission. There was 11 investigators that went! There are two great families that we are helping to get married that love the church and are sooo ready for the gospel. We are finding som awesome people here.
In one of the boonie little towns lives an american! hes super cool, he is 80 or so and lives with his 20 something year old brazillian wife. haha. normal right? he is from the south and is a firm member of the church! we went there and it was great to see american things in a house, he had is Bama "Roll Tide" hat up on the wall and a picture of a stealth bomber on the other wall. haha. i was so pumped to see a college football fan down here in some crazy small town in the middle of nowhere,Brazil. ha he said he is gonna make a flaming hot chilli american style for me next saturday!
My new comp is Elder Inman from indiana. he is the one on the right side of me in the football pic, Elder Smith is on my left. But he is super smart, he is one of those guys that has read "jesus the christ" ten times and reads the bible in a week. But he teaches really well and is pumped to work to death with me! He has the same time as Elder Smith has. And he cooks, we are gonna make burritos today with the taco seasoning you sent me.
Well i love you guys! have a great week!
-Elder Grondel
