Mom and family
So transfers!...I'm staying here
in Penha, which was almost a given, and the other 3 elders are leaving! We
still don't know they're going yet, we'll only know tomorrow. So I'll have to
me virar (do it on myself) to get to all the lunches and help the new
companionship to get to know their area and what not. It'll be a challenge but
it'd doable. Elder Y. Gomes thought he was gonna "die" or finish up
his mission here so he was surprised to find out he's being transferred.
I'm happy that you liked the note
from Ana Paula, they really are a special family.
Guess what! We went to this place
that sells ties that are SUPER awesome and pretty and where they'd normally be
like 30 reais, they were only like 5!! :) I bought 21 ties for 120 reais!
Thanks for the Christmas present! It rocks! Later I'll take pictures to show
you guys, man these ties are awesome.
So glad that
Carolos was baptized last week! I know that is a good feeling! You
do so much good each day that doesn’t turn into a baptism, but it’s nice when
all that works brings that particular fruit! Are the other family members
starting to be interested in the gospel?
Yeah they are! His cousin is
being a bit annoying but his sister and other family members are super
interested and humble enough to accept the change whereas his cousin is too
proud to accept the change. Like it says in Moroni 7 I think, No one is accepted
in the kingdom of god unless their humble. In the next weeks, I believe we'll
be able to baptize some more from his family.
How is E Gomes’
back doing?
He's 100 percent now
How was your week?
My week was good, I finished
Jesus, the Christ this week! Man that's a really good book, I would encourage
everyone to read it when they have the chance. Just a couple pages a day, it's
so awesome. One of my favorite parts was the part about the apostasy in the 3rd
to last chapter.
What is your
weather like now? You’re probably at your hottest?
Thankfully, it's been raining a
good amount lately and so the weather's been a bit cooler, more tolerable. I
hope it continues but I know it want. Did I tell you guys that there's a lack
of water here? Because of the lack of rain, the water deposits are down to like
20 percent or something like that, it's not a huge worry for now but we try to
save water.
How is this
ward/branch different from your last one?
It's more friendly,
bigger....more willing, more excited, dedicated. 2 people have already asked me
directly "Elder, what can I do to help you and your investigators?"
And at first I just smile and am speechless, than I thank the person, and then
mark a date to work with that person.
Are there many
returned missionaries in the wards there? Not young ones necessarily, but older
members who served a mission and give strength to their ward/branch.
Yeah there are many, I'd say more
than half the men in the word served missions.
Have you eaten
anything yummy lately?
Pumpkin sweet, it reminded me a
lot of your pumpkin pie!
estroganofe with meet. Man it was
like my 2 favorite things put together, brasilean churrasco/BBQ and
estroganofe. It was perfect haha
Homemade pizza
How are your shoes
holding up?
They're better now, I got them
patched up so now they're not holy :)
So yeah, that's about it.
Oh and I made a pocket for my
planner that I'll take a picture of and show you later too. It's cool because
it's also a good place to hide money!
I love you all!
Elder Horton
