Hope you´re not all dying of heat up there!!! hahah.
Here its been pretty good temperatures..... not too cold, not too hot, and just a couple rainy days..... Jealous??? =]
 |
hmmmm..... let me just whip out my TWO WATCHES to check the time...... gotta love Sister Menden.... =]
|
This week, Sister Menden got transferred and I picked up my new companion...
Last Monday, we spent our pday getting her stuff together, and saying
goodbye to people. Crazy how attached you get in such a short amount of
time.... I´m not looking forward to my turn here in 5 weeks......
erghhh.
Did I mention all the crying involved????! Oh boy. Not gonna be fun.
 |
Last pday with Sister Menden....... goodbye party at the pastelaria.... hahah.
|
Tuesday,
we went into Campinas early in the morning to switch companions at the
rodaviaria (bus station). Funnnnn. I love waking up at 5am!!!
NOT. and taking my companion´s THREE suitcases up the stairs and
smashing them in the little nascimento family car...... hmmm. ahh Sister Menden. haha.
 |
My LAST TRANSFER and last time at the rodaviaria in Campinas to
switch companions....... WOW. Here with some of the missionaries that
will be going home with me.... 6 weeks!!! (now it is just 5......AH!)
|
WELL, that afternoon I went with the other sisters picking up
newbies and got my companion! My companion is Sister Alexandre from
Salvador, Bahia BRASIL. She´s 23 and has been a member for 2 years.
She´s super nice, hardly eats anything (a big problem here with the Irmãs who like to force us to eat a TON... haha) and quiet (but not as
quiet as Sister Menden.... heheh). She already knows how to teach like a
rockstar and our work is going really well.
 |
Me and my new companion--- Sister Alexandre from Bahia (she might look american folks, but that´s just to trick ya!!)
|
Our first couple days here together, all our
appointments fell through and I possibly walked her almost to death, so
she is having a great breaking in to the mission............. hahaha.
We spent a lot of time trying to find new investigators
without much success this week..... walking a lot, talking to a lot of
people, knocking doors, but not getting to teach much.....
We did have a few cool lessons.
We taught a young lady named Eliene. She is SUPER cool and way
prepared, but not sure if she knows it yet. She asked a lot of questions
but is scared to committ to anything.... She didnt even want to come to
church.... But, if she really does read and pray, it´ll work out.
When we were knocking doors Saturday, we found a
lady named Sueli. She said that years ago, she was going to church for
about 4 months and would´ve been baptized but was living with someone at
the time and couldn't.... She told us she would come to church Sunday.
And guess what??? She did!! This week we´re gonna go visit her and start
teaching her...... Sounds like she was already taught years and years
ago, so who knows! maybe she´s ready now!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I
almost forgot!!! At transfers, I got to talk with the elders that are
in Campinas 3!!! And I got to see pictures of Késia and Michael´s
baptism!!!!! woooo!!! and they are teaching Caio and Cristian right
now!!! I guess Késia and Michael got baptized in May-ish, and now Késia
has a calling as secretary in the Relief Society!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO! =] =]
so happy.
And Rodrigo is still doing well and active and serving as the ward secretary!!
And another inactive lady that we visited started coming back to church and gave a talk week before last!!
ah! Everything is so good!!
 |
Got your package!!!!! Thanks so much!! LOVED the sticky notes!!! hahaha. They are ALL over our house...... =] Best idea EVER.
|
Yesterday, we had
something sad happen here in our area..... Our ward mission leader,
Irmão Zequinha (the dad of the family with 11 kids that always takes
care of us and helps us out....) had the beginning of a heart attack
during sacrament meeting at church yesterday... He wasnt feeling well
and went out by himself to go to the bathroom. Apparently he had the
beginning of a heart attack in the doorway of the bathroom and fell.
Then a kid from the branch found him and got help. They sent an
ambulance and the whole family went out and they took him to the
hospital. I guess he started to have another heart attack when they put
him on the ambulance, but they gave him medication and it stopped.....
Anyways. He is doing well now, but is in the hospital in another
city---Bragança. They did a bunch of exams this morning and they´re
gonna do a surgery to put in a pace-maker (I think...).
Keep him and his family in your prayers this week.
Gotta head out!
love you guys lots!!!
Sister Ward
