November 12: Clowns and Cakes
This last week was good. We got a couple of rain to cool
things off a little. On Saturday we went to a birthday party for the daughter
of one of our investigators. Afterward it was off to Pereira Barreto to watch a
play that the branch there wrote and presented. It was in the classic Pereira
Barreto style and was great. It was definitely from the heart. We also
travelled to Araçatuba this last week for some follow up training for our new
program. It was great. It was 9 hours on the bus round trip for a 2 hour
training but it was good. Time is flying by. Its super hot and its only
supposed to get hotter but we are surving. Until next week! Tchau!

The new
transfer started well. The Elders of Tres Lagoas arrived so our district is
back up to full strength. We are doing well. We had quite a few people at
church yesterday. We are getting lots of referrals so the work has been moving
along lately. We are teaching lots of great people. Nothing too exciting to
report this week. But I just got the update that there will be 3 new star wars
films! The blessings of the mission! May the force be with all of you...

End of the Transfer
The
transfer ended and our entire district stayed. Nobody has been here for very
long so it wasnt much of a surprise. There are two elders that are arriving to
take over Tres Lagoas so we wont have to work there anymore. It will be nice to
focus on one city again. We had branch conference yesterday with a special
musical number by the branch members. There were few men at church so we sang
the men part with a young man in the ward. Things are going well and we are
getting lots of referrals. The weather has been super hot. A man told us
yesterday that he has lived here for 36 years and never seen hot weather like
we are having. So we are drinking lots of water and getting into lots of doors
because people invite us in out of the sun. =) Thats it for this week. Have a
great week! Tchau!

New Program
This last
week was crazy yet again. I only was in my area for 2 days. I went on a
division with Elder Miller to Pereira Barreto to do some baptismal interviews.
On wednesday we went to Araçatuba and received some training on the new program
the mission is now using. It involves a few new things but mainly its the same
thing we are doing with a different introduction to the gospel. This way people
can start to feel and see God in their lives a lot sooner. We are all pretty
excited for it. We finished up the week with a trip to Três Lagoas which is the
hottest city on the mission. We are still covering that city until the next
transfer, which was moved to next week instead of today. Things are going well.
We had a surprise birthday party for a lady in our branch last night. Its
awesome serving in a branch. It feels like everyone is a family. Until next
week!
