Welp, Here we go Again.
 |
| New Years Eve (until 9:30) with Wellington and his family |
So this last week had new years and that was pretty much
like any other day. Other than the fact that everyone was drinking and
that everyone was blowing up soda cans. Which was actually pretty
cool. We've been working hard and having LOTS of success. We're
finding people in ways that I never thought possible. We've really been
seeing miracles these last few days. Ive had quite a bit of a problem
training and this last week FINALLY am getting the hang of it! And about
an hour ago, we got a call that Im being transfered...
I dont know where or with who, and neither does Elder
Rodrigues, but Elder Ramirez (Barney) was also transfered. I only passed
3 months here (which is about normal) but I feel like I was able to do what I
had to do. I feel good about my work here. Elder Rodrigues is about
how I was when Elder Young left, like, "I didnt like you, but I dont want
you to leave" He actually said that, but joking (i think).

Limoeiro do Norte
After I wrote to you guys we headed back to our house, after
stopping by the grocery store to drink coke in th glass bottles one last time,
and I got all packed up. I really liked Elder Rodrigues, but I think the
hardest part was leaving Elder Amaral. Elder Rodrigues' comp arrived
pretty quick and I still didn’t know where I was going. So Elder Amaral
stuck with me for a while waiting for his comp. and we both about
cried. For the last 3 months, we’ve been best friends and its not like we’d
really see one another, because he’s going home in a month. So yeah...
But we decided to meet at the Fortaleza temple dedication.
I later got a call that I would be returning to the middle
of nowhere in a city called Limoeiro do Norte, about 4 hours from
Fortaleza. My companion is Elder Gomes da Silva and I’m training him
too. He got here with Elder Rodrigues and still has 6 more weeks of
training. He’s super cool. One of the nicest and coolest guys Ive
met on my mission. Here, it’s us two, and 4 sisters. This is the
first time in my mission that I’ve had sisters in my district. And here’s
the best part….. I’m district leader. Also, this district doesn’t have
a zone, so I am also Zone leader. ALSO! The church here isn’t a
ward or even a branch. It’s only about 2 years old here so its still just
a group. Yesterday just had about 30 people in our old school where we
have church. The group leader just moved away and so now, IM the group
leader. Yesterday I was presiding, leading, blessed the sacrament, and
gave a 40 minute talk at the end (which was a pretty sweet talk if I do say so
myself). So basically, I have all the callings except assistant to the
president right now :) |

Here in the middle of nowhere there is finally cool stuff
that I can talk about again. For example, these last three days there was
a huge concert in front of our house. In front. of our house.... We had
to book it home 5 o’clock everyday because it got pretty ugly after that.
Also, it wasn’t really possible to sleep so that was cool!
Ok, that was the week. Hopefully these next few
letters will be more interesting, but the internet here is slow again, so
pictures might be a little more rare, but vai da certo!
