Be Grateful for What You Have

Bom dia!

What´s up guys! man I´m loving the start of the new transfer in Cascavel. My new companion is Elder Riveiro. He´s from Uruguay and from Spain. He was living in Spain before his mission and went to Uruguay a month or two before he sent his mission papers. He has family in both countries. He´s a super cool guy and a really hard worker. He´s got lots of great ideas to help out the zone too.

Man lots of missionaries finished their mission last week and it was pretty sad to see them go. Lots of them were really good friends of mine. But the good thing is that I´ll see lots of them at BYU!

Maria Heloisa, Maria Vitória, and Ana Clara are on date for this weekend. Their baptism is marked for this Saturday. Pray for them that all goes well! They were actually going to baptized yesterday, but it ended up not working out and they got pretty down and upset. They really wanted to get baptized yesterday. They´re getting ready for this Saturday and are pretty excited!

Remembering My Friend Andrew Page... I Know He is Helping Me on My Mission

Bom dia! What´s up guys!

Transfers are today. I´m staying! Man I´m super happy cuz we have some great investigators prepping for baptism this next transfer! Maria Eloisa, Maria Vitoria and and Clara  had to travel this weekend. They went to spend the weekend with their dad in Medeaneira, a nearby city. But they went to church there with the missionaries working in that city! Maria Vitoria´s boyfriend went with them too that we´re teaching as well and he basically said that he wants to be baptized too! Their mom is doing well. She´s smoking less but it´s pretty hard to sit down and teach her cuz she´s always super busy. 

Pedro is progressing a lot. He´s prepping for his marriage in Novembro and is getting excited for his baptism as well!

I´m really starting to like the members in our ward. They´re pretty great! Sunday I went on splits with bishop to go see a few families as well.

Bom dia!

Man so much happened this week that I think I´m gonna forget to say it all. 

Zone Conference

First off, we had zone conference on Tuesday! Man it was super sweet to see my ex-companion, Elder Coelho give the training as the new assistant. Man he´s a flippin awesome missionary. On the way to Foz, we entered the park! We were like 10 minutes away from the waterfalls and we didn't go! Man! I was soooo close! Haha, who knows, maybe it will work out that i´ll get to see them before the end of my mission. 

Iguazu Falls that Trevor hopes to see someday. They are one of the seven wonders of the world.

Thanks for the Prayers!

What´s up guys!

Man this week ended up going like super well! We found a super awesome family. The mom is Marianne and she has 3 daughters, Maria eloisa (12), Maria something (11) and Ana Clara (8). They went to church yesterday and totally loved it. Marianne got kind of hungry towards the end, but she cried a couple times at church. We´ve made really good friends with the family and they´re really progressing. Marianne smokes a lot, but we´re helping them quit. Pray for them please, cuz they´re a really awesome family!

Pray for Miracles! We Need Them....

Bom Dia!

Hey do you guys remember when I told you that it is super cold here. well, that was a lie, cuz I´m totally dying of hotness here! Haha! The weather here has been crazy. Now it´s super hot and it looks like it´s gonna stay that way from here on out. But who knows, maybe next week it´ll be cold again, we´ll see.

This week I worked a lot with Elder Brown, one of the missionaries that I live with. It went pretty well. We found a few really great people that are really interested in the gospel.  We brought a few more investigators to church this week and we´re gonna start teaching them some more.

September 14, 2015

Bom Dia! Hey guys!  

Man this week has had a lot of traveling. On Tuesday we went to Toledo, which is a nearby city to watch the district meeting there, and then we went on splits with two of the Elders. It was pretty great! We found a few great people for them to teach! Then we  worked in Palotina in the sisters area to help them find a few people to teach. We found a few really great people there too. haha, so long story short, we didn´t get back to our area until late Thursday night. 

Saturday arrived and we didn´t have very many people to bring to church, so we went contacting  a few houses, looking for people to bring to church on Sunday. One of our last stops for the night was a family that we talked to last week, but we hadn´t found home yet. They answered the door, let us in, and the dad and his son went to church yesterday. The dad´s name is Claudemire. The mom would´ve gone, but had to take care of her step mom that´s been sick in bed for like 2-3 months. So they went to church and totally loved it! we taught the restoration and he agreed to pray.unfortunately he has to get maried, but baptism is somethingthat he realizes he needs and wants and really wants to be baptized! now we just have to help them ge married. Hopefully it won´t be too difficult, haha.

Bom dia!

Hey guys! man I heard about what happened with the BYU game! crazy awesome! I live with an Elder Brown. He´s from Utah and we both totally freaked out when we found out what happened! haha!

I´m in Cascavel! It´s a pretty big city and I´m liking it here a lot! We´ve got a lot to do here but we´re excited to do it all. My new companion is Elder Esteban. He´s from Colombia. He´s a pretty cool guy an we´re getting along pretty well! we´re all pretty excited to work wonders here. We have a few investigators that we´re teaching here but we have to find a lot more. We only got to work in our area for about 3 days because of the meeting that we had with president Genaro at the start of the week. But it´s a lot easier to talk to people in the streets because there are a lot more people in the streets here! We found a few people that are pretty open to the Gospel, so we´re excited to see what happens with them.

I just found out that Viviane was baptized this past week! She´s an investigator of ours in Apucarana. She was baptized this past week! I´m super happy for her and everything. Elder De Lima stayed in Apucarana and baptized her.
