Oi, Bom Dia!
This week was normal more or less, yesterday was pretty dope though. So we have this family that we have been teaching for a while. They've been going to church for like 3 months now but are trying to get married so they can get baptized. They're basically members, so they signed up to have us for lunch on Sunday. We went to church on Sunday and we were super disappointed because first of all, we went to 5 of our investigators houses who promised they'd come with us to church and ALL of them either said they were too busy, wanted to go to the other church, or were sleeping! We went to church and that family who always comes wasn't even there. So afterwards we went to their house for lunch. Turns out they didn't go to church because they were cooking and preparing lunch for us. Hands down best lunch ever, churrasco (so much churrasco), salads galore, beans and rice(of course), potatoes, etc and homemade ice cream. It's kinda funny that they didn't come to church because they were making lunch. Sister Ramos and I had a good laugh about that.
Okay so typical day: I wake up at 7:30, stretch, do exercise for about an hour and then take a shower. I really want to run but Sister Ramos doesn't want to. Then we revise our day, and then personal study for an hour. Then companionship study for an hour, and then we usually head out for lunch at a members house at 12, usually ends up being 1.5-2 hours because they loovvee to talk and to eat slow. We then go out proselyting until about 9, 9:30. During proselyting we usually go to the people’s houses who we made appointments with but about 50% fall through cause they don't actually plan or remember that we made an appointment. To get new investigators we usually just walk around and talk to people. Almost 99% of who we talk to becomes a new investigator and we mark an appointment.
We are trying really hard to have a baptism this week but we aren't sure if Maria will be ready. We can’t visit her every day because she lives out of town, but we are gonna try our best!
Things are pretty good here for the most part, I'm gonna cry when I get a new companion cause Sister Ramos is honestly the best. She really pushes me to step outside of my comfort zone. I've been teaching half the lessons since my second day in training lol. Not very well hahaha, but now I'm way more prepared to teach. Sister Ramos made me a happy 3 months sign! She hit 14 months today so we have been joking about how old she is ha ha. 2 more transfers and she goes home, seems so soon for her.
The weather here is so wild. It's either like 5 billion degrees (for me, i think if i get transferred to palmas i will probably die from heat), or it's storming like crazy. Yesterday I saw lightning hit a metal pole on the house across from us.
Oh and that photo is our district. It got changed so our district is only girls! Today I am gonna go to the lake with Sister Olsen so that should be funnnn
Church is true, the book is blue
Muito amor,
Sister Cecil
