1) Did you find a place to live?
not yet, there are little to no houses in this city that are up for rent, so we have been living in the big city of B on the floor of some missionaries there (don’t worry mom we have mattresses). We ride the bus for 40 minutes each way to get here in P. Today we are spending p day looking for houses so that we can show them to President and Sister Tavares when they come to B for Zone conference tomorrow.
2) Where do you get stuff for the place (Beds, etc?)
A missionary area closed in a city nearby so we will get all the furniture and stuff from that house
3) How many people in your branch?
4) How many attend each week?
There´s gotta be something like 150 members registered but we have about and attendance of 45 (it got a boost because we baptized that family)
5) How many missionaries in your city?
Me and my comp are the only missionaries in the city of P, but B probably has like a good 8 companionships
6) How was your birthday?
My birthday was good, had a great church meeting and did proselyting like normal; my companion made me a cake of bread slices, peanut butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Was pretty great
7) Any more packages get there?
We only receive letters when we have contact with the mission office in Londrina (transfers, interviews with president, zone conferences, when our ZL´s go to their training meetings) we have a zone conference tomorrow so I should get something
We had like different 6 people that were almost baptized this week. 4 of them their parents wouldn’t let them (they are under 18) and two said "we aren’t ready yet". 90% of people here believe that you have to be a saint to be baptized, so they say that their kids aren’t ready because they do stupid kid stuff sometimes and they themselves say they aren’t ready because they aren’t perfect people yet. They don’t understand that you NEED baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost TO REPENT, TO HELP YOU CHANGE, you don’t need to be and you won’t be perfect before baptism.
But we will work hard this week; at least one of these people will get baptized.
Love you all! Thank you so much for the birthday cards! Keep me updated on how everybody is doing!
