Hey mom,
This week was a lot of hard work and
a good time. We went to a multi-zone conference in downtown Campinas and on our
way back the game had started against Germany. We were walking back to our
house at half-time and it was 5-0 and people here were really mad. Some lady
stopped us and cussed out Brasil and then asked if we were Germans, when we
told here we were Americans she let us go by but she was pretty dang angry and
yeah, I was a curious with what the lady was going to do but yeah it was fine.
We spent a lot of time this week
working with less active people, and we had a family home evening last night
with a ton of people. It was so good and I hope we helped them have a greater
desire to come back to church. We have just been running around a ton too
because our area is massive. I have never used the bus so much like this last
week. But the family home evening was great, we made an object lesson
with "Jenga" and it turned out well.
Friday night we had gotten a call about
a service project the next morning and we went there at 8. We carried big
buckets full of cement up on top of the house to finish the roof. We did it
non-stop for four hours straight, and we were pretty dang sore last night but
it was a really fun time. We got super dirty, but it sure feels nice every now
and then to take off the shirt and tie, and roll in the mud like men should. Ha-ha
We had the opportunity to see a
young man here in our ward give his last goodbyes before he enters the MTC this
Thursday. It reminded me a lot about what a privilege we have to serve a
mission, and just how great the blessings are that come from it. I wouldn’t
trade my mission for anything and I love every second here. I know it is going
to be so hard to say goodbye to such a wonderful life, but it will be so easy
to thank the Lord every day for the time that he allowed me here. I love the gospel,
I am so grateful that we always have one more chance to make ourselves better
and more like our Savior. I love this life. I hope you have a great week mumsy,
I sure will. I love you!
