BBBBOOOMMMM DIA!!! Well this has
been yet another eventful week! Just crazy after crazy but there has been a lot
more of the good than the bad and that is what I really want to focus on!:)
Well, we have been transferred
from Sao Mateus to Vitória. The new area is called Jardim da Penha. It is
the richest area in the whole mission so the work is kinda slow but I need to
be here. We have two new investigators, their names are, Regina (my new
Brazilian Mom ;) and Fernanda, her daughter. On Friday Fernanda is getting
baptized and really, really wants her mom to be baptized with her but mom has
said no. But what is awesome is that Regina really is going to be baptized but
wants it to be a surprise! So Friday after Fernanda gets ready, Regina is then
going to get in Baptismal clothes and be baptized with her!!!! I am going to
record it so it is going to be awesome!!! :):) They are great people and this
is going to be so cool for them both!
We also have another
investigator. His name is Edurado. He is
a history teacher and really into the church!!
Hopefully we can get him baptized in the next couple of weeks!!
I want to thank everyone for
fasting for me and for your prayers! I go to the doctors tomorrow and hopefully
will figure everything out. I really
want to thank you so much for everything that you all have done to help and
support me!
It is really hard writing
this letter because we are so new to this area and we haven’t met many
people yet. We don’t even know where the bishop
lives. This week we are going with a
member to visit all of the leadership in our ward and then we are going to
start visiting members. This area is much better off than our last area so the
people here aren’t quite as humble. I guess we are going to have to rely on
part member families and getting the referrals from the members in order meet
new people. It is going to be kind of hard but I know we can do it!!
Our ward mission leader is
awesome! Not as good as Bro. Hillan ;) but he is good! He owns an English
school (where they teach English) and a travel agency so he is pretty well
off. We had our first correlation
meeting with him and he is excited to try some new tactics on what we can do to
try to get people excited about getting us as missionaries more people to
teach!!:)
Last P-day we actually did do
some pretty awesome things! First we went to Cleders house in Guriri around
São Mateus and had Brazilian BBQ which would have been a lot better if I could
have eaten it haha but we were able to spend the entire day with them. Then we
were able to go to the beach which was like 2 seconds away from Cleders house!!
And there is a Sea Turtle rescue mission thing there and it was closed but the
kids and the Brazilian missionaries said it would be ok if we went in. So we
went in and a guy came out yelling at us that he was going to call the cops and
have us all arrested. Yep we would have
been deported if he would have done that hahaha but everything turned out fine
and the cops never showed up!
We spent all day Tuesday
again traveling... Yeah that was fun... After these 2 years I NEVER want to
see another bus again!!!! I hate them so much; you have no clue! Everything else has been going good!
We finally have found a place here in Jardim da Penha that is free to email
so that is a lot better than paying to email friends and family! Hopefully by
next week we will have more people we are teaching to tell you all about :)
Well the church is true and I love yall!!!!:):)
Love,
Elder Stilson
