Wow there goes another one haha what's next TJ is going to get married? Its amazing what can change after two years, its defiantly going to be a shock when I get home and everyone is married, and moving away from Washington and my cats are dying, having two nieces (sobrinhas?) and Brian being a millionaire when he opens up his new business haha.
Sounds like Seattle is getting pretty dry up there, here as well we are 2 and a half months without rain so far and it is super HOT! I am going through shirts like crazy, I have to wash them every other day because they are super dirty because I am sweating like crazy. Also I am down to two pairs of pants all my other ones are discolored and torn up because of the sun haha they are a mix of black with light brown now. Luckily I live close to the markets here and I will just ask a member to pick some up for me.
This week has been super awesome finding new people to teach and baptize. The lord has literally prepared these people to be baptized. The Women who will be baptized this Saturday was inspired of the Lord. Marineide is her name and she likes to stay at her cousins house and usually when she stays there she stays all day just talking, but one day she felt an impression that she needed to go home early. So not knowing why she just went home, and just a few minutes later we knocked on her door and she let us in. She is super elect and very excited for this Saturday and will be baptized with her daughter and one other women as well. Also this week we have found numerous others who said we answered their prayers. Cleuza said that she had a dream that she was going through some tough time and that someone came up to her and patted her on the back and said, "wait a little longer your blessing is on it’s way". Also there was another who simply said that we said the right thing at the right time and was touched and said she really wants to know our church that her son attends and be baptized. All this is happening because of our Chain of Fast that our Zone is doing.
I really like working with my new companion he is on my favorite list. Also this week we both gave talks and taught the lesson for Gospel Principles this week so yea it was a lot of work. Elder Thorup talked about Missionary work and I talked about the Atonement which was a lot of fun. Did you know that the word Atonement is mentioned only one time in the new testament? yea that because the bible was translated a million times and it was being taken out even though it is one of the most important words that the Bible and all the scriptures have. That's why we have the book of Mormon that is mentioned 37 times, yea its a true book.
I haven't gotten an okay yet if I am able to see the Cavalcantis yet, but as soon as I get an answer we are hooking up for sure and I will tell them why the Corinthians are the better soccer team haha.
I am excited for one more week and hope I get a chance to get in the water on Saturday because its hot down here haha.
Tachu amo vocês, e tanham uma boa semana!
Elder Çrandall
