Well it just so happened that I will not be training this
transfer but I will be the companion of an Elder Gustavo Silveira who will be
going home at the end of this transfer! He is a really great guy and we are
getting along very well. It might because he has a military attitude because he
served in the Brazilian army and will return to doing what he did. He works
with armored transport which is cool and we get along great and like he says
all the time, "Only happeness and joy!" We work a lot but what I am
liking is that we are working smarter and not harder!
My new area is a city in the municipality of São Paulo called Piedade. The town
has about 40,000 habitants and it is a little back country town where most
people live on small farms and such which is great and then they have a city
section as well. We only work in the city because the other houses are really
spread out and it is not very conducive to the best missionary work that we
could be doing nor the most effective so only if it is a strong impression to
we head out to the houses by there and such.
We had an activity this week that was called the end of the world that my
companion made up and it worked out super great! We set up a bunch of fun
things to do and printed out a fake money so that they had to pay money to
dance or just play video games or other games or to get food or they could come
and see the missionaries and do a task or answer a question to recieve a little
money in return. Then we ended it and the lights went off and which kingdom of
glory you were sent to depended on how many monies you had. It was very
effective to see how people arrived in their individual kingdoms to see that
not all there family was there or it wasnt where they wanted to go and who they
wanted to be with so we explained about each individual kingdom and how to get
there and what it would be like which was very interesting because they people
saw that it is not possible to be of the world and do the things of god at the
same time. That we need to do what we have been commanded and instructed so
that we can have exactly what our heavenly father has promised each one of us
individually and as families!
I love you all and hope that you are well and that you will continue to choose
the things of god that we all may have a happy reunion and conjointing when the
creator comes for the second time!
Love,
Elder Kyle Hendrixson
