30 July 2012


WElll!  It seems like everybody is having a blast! Elder Vieira and I are also having a blast here in Poções! Haha i love being a missionary, it is about the hardest things ever, mixed with the happiest you´ve ever been, and the most you´ve ever loved people. I feel more and more as the months go by that Derek Kent doesn´t exist. I live to help anybody and everybody. And everything is going so well.

Sooooooo  we are working with some investigators for baptism this week! We have an investigator named Kevilyn, and she has date marked for this Saturday. Things aren´t perfect, she feels a little anxious and wants to do the right thing. So she is praying to be ready for this Saturday. It´ll be great! We are working so hard! haha i have always liked to work hard, but it is great working with Elder Vieira my companion.

So the other companionship in Poções is Elder Neilson, a Utahn, and Elder F. Silva from Fortaleza. It is so much fun working with them in the Poções branch. Elder Neilson has become an extremely good friend of mine. We do crazy things. The other day we, 4, missionaries went to a big family night in the house of some recent converts. And on the way home we returned to our house. There was a dog barking at us and being really annoying. Soooo, we both darted for the dog to scare him. Haha i cannot describe this well. Have you every scared the socks off of a dog? The thing just bolted a mile away as fast as it could. Running and just fleeing. Poor thing. Haha

Last night we pulled all the cushions out into our backyard and slept out under the stars. I had already done this once with Neilson, but all 4 of us did it this time. haha it was fun and got really cold about 5h in the morning. haha we´re crazy.

So other than this we are praying a lot to have blessings we need. I can´t tell you how many times we are trying to find an investigator to accompany them and we can´t find them until after we stop and ask help from God. I feel so close to my Father, it is incredible.

Tonight i will travel to Salvador for a training meeting for all the leaders on the mission. I am not even a leader, just a Sr, but President Andrezzo called me up and not Elder Neilson, because Neilson finishes his mission in 2 weeks.
