Só pra vocês saberem que tivermos um batismo esta fim de semana
e que os detalhes do batismo quem foi são tudo lá nas perguntas em baixo! :)
As to let you know I am pretty sure that missionaries dont walk.
We glide! I mean it is crazy how much we walk and keep a smiling and having a
good time and talk to some of the most rancorous people you could ever imagine
but that is okay because they just dont know what they are missing out
on!
Just to let you all know, I am super happy they got new
keyboards here at the Lanhouse because now I can type without feeling like I am
trying to play wack a mole!
Also we probably walked 20km everyday and our appointments were
falling through like if you tried to but refried beans on the barbeque! Its not
FUNNY!!!
The even funnier part is that my Brazilian companion complains
more about the heat than I do. Mostly because St. George or Fresno are way
hotter than This place is by about 10 degrees Celcious! Yup that is enough to
fry an egg! We had some great adventures this week.
Our lunch appointment that is clear out there fell
through and man was I hungry! So we went to the lady who arranges our lunches hoping that she would have
some bread and butter just to put a little fuel in the tank! Which she did and
we were able to grab her husband and bring him to a lesson that we had which
turned out to be great. Then we had to walk clear to the other side of the area
which is like 5 miles so we just headed out! The funny part is that we got
there, went to an apointment, and still beat him to the chapel in under an
hour! I mean like I said we dont walk. I mean the joggers barely pass us and we
are hardley breaking a sweat! Missionaries obey the word of wisdom which is:
eat like a dog because you really have no idea when your next meal is going to
be! ;)
Love you guys and wish you the best and I pray for you all every
night that the Lord can be your Guide!
Elder Hendrixson!
Here are some answers to some questions that it is quite
possible that a few of you might have so just for gentileza(politeness) here
are the answers
How are things in your mission?
The things in our mission are on the brightside. Our Presidente
has promised us some major success if we will be obedient, diligient, exact,
honor, and honest. Not to mention that if we will invoke blessings in the name
of the Lord and walk forth with faith we will see the barriers falling and the
walls of Jericho crumbling!
Any mission meetings?
Actually we just had our special Christmas zone conference which
was cool and man were there some terrible musical numbers. I mean just think
about a mariachi mexican band but put it in portuguese with suits and ties and
santa hats. One vocalist, a recorder, a violin, and an acoustic guitar. Ya not
exactly what I would think about as a success and our President stood up after
they finished singing Joy to the World and commented that after that who
wouldnt want to be a muslhim! I lost it! That was the best joke I have heard in
a long time!
Who is your current companion?
My current companion is Elder Mota and he is totally
awesome. He is from Fortaleza and he is from Ceará.
Did your baptism happen?
Yes the baptism happended and it was great! The family was all
there and the entire ward as well with a special presentation by the ward!
Who was it?
His name is Derek, he has 9 years of age and is the son of parents that are less actives that we are in the process of reactivating. Derek really comes to church with his grandparents and he loves it! He comes on his own because of his old testimony. He is a guiding light for all the people in his family and his grandpa is who baptised him and it was a very great and special experience! :)
How did you contact this person?
We contacted him because his grandfather and father asked that
we teach him so that he could be baptised. Generally he would have been a
baptism for the ward but unfortunately they didnt trust in themselves enough so
they called in the professionals. Therefore he was a convert baptism.
How long have you been teaching him/her?
I taught him for a week but I have been planning this baptism
since I got here! The parents kept having marital problems. Fault of planning
and the family not coordinating and it ended up being one of those scenarios
that we ended up fortifying everyone else and the one who was strong had to
suffer and wait!
How is the new ward?
The new ward is good they want a lot of things to happen and
they make some very upscale scemes. They also want to have a lot of things
happen! This is all nice and we will take all the enthusiasm as is possible.
What's the name of the ward?
The ward I am in is called Vila Angelica which is in the Trujilo
Stake
