Transfers

Wow it's been a while since I've written one of these... Sorry I definitely need to be better, but this week was great!  Last night we found out about transfers. I'll be staying here in, Ramo Poeta And my comp will be leaving to another area. I'm grateful for the time I've had with Elder Oliveira, at times we had our disagreements. But I'm the end I learned a lot from him especially about myself and this work!   This last week we went out with one of our members (who's preparing for a mission) here in our area and did some street contacting. It was super cool to see this member in action he's been a member of the church for a year and a half and just by being around him and doing missionary work with him you can see how the gospel has changed his life. We talked with a ton of people and found a bunch that were interested in our message.   It's awesome to first hand hear how this gospel, the gospel of Jesus Christ, changes lives and I'm grateful i...

Elder Damasceno And 19 Months

Wow this week was fast! Yup I got my new companion, and this last week we got to work!    My new comp's name is Elder Damasceno he's from São Paulo and and has a year and 3 months in the mission.

The Work Continues

Wow this week flew by... like every week but it was a good week (just so everyone knows I'm feeling fine. I got over covid for the second time) this last week started in quarantine. We have been doing all our work from our apartment which has been good, but we have been struggling to find people here in our area that are actually interested. I decided to change it up a little and look In the records we have here and reach out to some of the people who have already been taught before. I found the contact of Francisco. He talked to the Missionaries way back before covid and they didn't reach out again to him so, I had the opportunity to call him. I shared with him our purpose of Inviting others to come unto Christ.  He liked the sound of that, so we called him the next day and shared more about the gospel of Jesus Christ. He then wanted to know who has this authority to do these things (Baptise) we said we would teach him about the Restoration of Christ's church and how Josep...
