Como estão vocês! Im still doing well and things are still plugging along. Summer is starting to hit with some crazy intensity. and it is only going to get hotter here. Oh boy this is going to be fun (cough cough)
So as the title for this week suggests, this was the week of... what?! for two reasons. First being that we had a baptism scheduled for yesterday, but it didn't happen because the church ran out of water! WHAT? All I can say is well, shoot. It's very interesting living in a place where your water level is based on when the next truck comes by or when it rains next (our drinking water and general use water are different for this very reason). But nonetheless, it happens here and our baptism has been rescheduled for Saturday. details will follow next week!
The other huge what is that my companion was transferred. WHAT?!?! Oh minha nossa this will be interesting because I still don't know the area very well, I mean I just got here in Brazil 6 weeks ago and now I have to lead us around and take the leader position. But in spite of this huge what moment, there is a great lesson that can be seen for the future. All that I need to do is trust in my Heavenly Father. He called me to this and inspired my President to put me with a new companion. Why? well I wish I knew myself. But God knows. Everything in life prepares us for something later on in life. I never have really been a leader type person, only a follower so to speak. Maybe this will be an opportunity to really learn how to take that leader role.
So my new companion is the bomb. His name is Elder Basilio and he is a Paulista (he is from São Paulo)! That is so cool, my first Brazilian companion. I'm so excited for this opportunity, and I know that miracles are coming our way.
Mission life is still mission life. Keep the faith everyone, and send me some letters and some COLD!
Tchau tchau!
