Hey Family!
Did you have some good appointments this week?
Yeah
we did. Nothing that was super amAzing but here in Suzano we have some good
people, families, that are really interested and we're helping them stop
smoking.
Do you teach an investigator class at church on Sunday, or does
the ward mission leader do that?
Sometimes
missionaries do that but usually there's a specific calling for teaching the
gospel principles class
How far away from your last area have you been while working with
E Garcia?
It's
about 40 minutes away by feet and train.
What was the area called that you’ve been working in?
Suzano
How do you think things will change this week?
I'll
be teaching a lot more Portuguese and talking a lot more during the lessons
Were you able to go to the temple?
No...I
think that'll be the next week.
Fill me in on your week and all the good parts and hard parts
and happy parts and all the in-between parts!!!
I ate
McDonald's today! I got a big mac! It was very delicious but it was also very
expensive...13 reais which is like 6 bucks for just the burger. I had high and
was pretty excited to eat at McDonalds so when I ate the burger in like 30
seconds I was kinda disappointed and I was like "well..that's all there
is" It wasn't really worth 13 reais...but that's okay.
Tomorrow,
I'm going to the mission office to get my new son! So that's exciting.
It's
actually been pretty cold here lately which is normal as we're entering the
winter season.
That's
cool about the Soda machine! Is it cheaper too? Is it the same taste? Today we played football (soccer) as a zone
for a while which was pretty fun. I made some cool goals and juked some Brazilians
which is always fun.
This
week we went to Brás Cubas (my area) only 2 times so that's been kinda
difficult as well but the 2 times we went there were pretty good! We were able
to do a good amount of contacts and follow up with some investigators. I'm
excited to just work in Brás Cubas again.
I'm
learning Spanish again! I was talking with one of the sisters and one of the
elders and I just tried talking in Spanish and what I didn't know, I asked how
to say and thus, I learned. They said I was learning really fast :) yay.
We
talked with a family that follows the church of spiristism which was
interesting. They believe in reincarnation and weird stuff like that....to me
it seems like a religion without purpose. They don't believe in the same
"Kingdom of God" that we do. They believe that the kingdom of God is in
us, our state of happiness and so that's pretty sad. They believe that they'll
Always have to deal with this mortal life. We didn't fight with them or
anything, we taught a normal lesson and invited them to read, pray, and go to
church. Elder Garcia will follow up with them with his new son.
Well...yeah, I think that's about
it. I'm happy to hear that everything is going well at home! Don't forget to
find some time to study the scriptures daily and pray frequently! It's
essential.
Thanks for all the love and
support while I'm on this 2 year mission. I still want to go to Mars but I
don't think mom'll let me so I just find a nice young lady from earth instead
of a red hot Martian ;) hah get it? get it? red? Yeah that was a pretty lame
joke, but even so, mom's probably laughing right now. Love you guys! Excited to
talk to you all in 2 weeks but I'm not trunky so don't worry about that.
Lots o' love
Elder Horton
