Hello
This week was fantastic. We are still struggling to find a groove in our area, it´s tough to remain consistant when we dont always have certainty of exactly when or how much time we will have to work there. But we have two baptisms marked for this Sunday so that will be a big boost for the ward. Its funny (not really) that after almost a year and eight months i´m finally figuring out how to do missionary work effectively. This ward can be a great tool, its full of young educated wealthy couples, and we are using them to find exactly that. Something great that the church in Brasil is stressing right now is "Real Growth." Meaning that we, as misisonaries, have to search for those who can immediately contribute to the growth of the Church. People that can hold a calling, pay tithing, go to the temple, and do their own missionary work. This is going to be a blessing here in Brasil, and I´m trying my best to apply it in my work and to help the missionaries do the same.
On Tuesday we went to Passo Fundo. It was fantastic as always, the Zone Leaders there are brilhant and are really elevating the zone. Plus, i just flat out love that city. Tomorrow we are going back to Caxias with President right after Church, we will work with the LZ`s and then do a specialized training Monday morning.
Today was a pretty relaxed p day.. We were tired so pretty much we are just chilling in the office using email, writing letters, and eating ridiculously oversized Brasilian hot Dogs. Delicoius. These crazy kooks know how to create a delicous form of a heart attack. I´m not going to lie, I admitted to a few Brasilians this week that i know prefer Brasilian PIZZA and HOT DOGS. What the freak is happening to me... Get me out of here!!
Just kidding. Im happy and healthy. Well, at least happy. But my daily P90X that Elder Keesling is slowly chipping away the saturated fat from that same pizza and hot dogs that i eat daily. Oh well, what do you do. 4 months.
Love you all, stay classy. Go Mitt!
P.s. I´m a ranch guy.
