Wow,
I can't believe the day has
already come, Noah’s already headin out today!!!!! that is so crazy how fast it
has come up. It literally feels like yesterday I saw the video of him openin up
his call! But I’m so proud of him and I know he’s gonna be an incredible
missionary and make a big impact!! He’s gonna be awesome!!!
This past week was really
good!! We taught a ton of lessons, marked some baptism dates, and did a bunch
of contacts with people in the streets.
It has been
"winter" here. but still super hot here and super dry, and it hasn’t
even hit the hottest time of the year yet!! not until September and October. It
was funny cause the other day, It was super hot and we were talking to some
lady in the street. She was like "You need to use sunscreen and drink lots
of water, because it’s about to START getting hot here." I asked her
"start to get hot?? What do you call this weather that we are having
now???" haha. But it’s all good!! I’m gettin used to it
We are going to start
teaching this family from Peru. They speak Span-gues (spanish and portugues).
But it will be cool and my companion is fluent in Spanish and I’m able to
understand a lot of it now! Elder Fernandez is seriously a stud!! We
noticed that I had a good sized hole in the side of my pants. Later, after
taking a shower and getting ready we go out to work, and I noticed that I didn’t
have a hole. I was like what happened?? I looked at Fernandez and he confessed
that he had patched it up for me without me knowing! I was like dude you're the
man!! It’s small and simple things like that, that really mean a lot.
He didn’t do it to receive thanks or for something in return, but just to be
nice. It meant a lot, now I gotta think of something to do for him. maybe
I’ll buy him Açaí or something :)
We found this awesome
family/friend group. We were out doing contacts and we saw a group of ladies
with a couple guys sitting outside a gate to a house. I could tell they were
staring at us and talking bout us since its pretty obvious we are foreigners,
but we go over and start up a conversation! It went awesome. They liked us off
the bat, and as we were leaving they invited us to come in and meet the rest of
the family/friends. So inside the gate, there are like 8 separate houses, full
of family and friends. So we met a ton of people, and then scheduled to come
back this week on Wednesday. About 30 people agreed to be there, and listen to
our lesson that we will share! We are pretty excited to get over there
this week!
But other than that, all of
our investigators are doing good and progressing!! I’m loving Itapoã and I don’t
want to leave here, I’m feelin in my gut that I will be leaving after this
transfer but I really hope that I stay!!
I love yall so much, I know
Noah’s gonna do awesome, have a ton of success, have life-changing experiences,
and make yall proud!!!
love,
Elder Bean
Oh yeah,
Augusto´s 2 year old
nephew is so funny. He knows how to say "Bean".
yesterday we go over there,
we knock on the gate and when we enter he goes
'BEANNN"
hahha its hilarious.
Little Miguel.
When we left he goes
Eu te amo bean. ahah I love you bean.
He’s a little stud!!

| Alma 17:13 And it came to pass when they had arrived in the borders of the land of the Lamanites, that they separated themselves and departed one from another, trusting in the Lord that they should meet again at the close of their harvest; for they supposed that great was the work which they had undertaken. |
