The countdown

 

Wow so 4 more sacrament cups haha. This was one of the craziest weeks of my mission for sure. So my companion is no longer Elder Hullenger and I am no longer District Leader this transfer. When I was transferred from Paraisólpois I was still Zone leader, but when I was transferred to Cotia I was called to be district leader. I was excited because I wouldn't have as many responsibility's and everything was going great. We got along great and we had a great week together and we bought a lot of food to eat on our last Pday and while we were about to eat our delicious sandwich that we made the phone rang. Pday is sacred and no one calls on this day so we thought a bit strange. I ran over to the phone, picked it up and said "the Assistants". I answered the phone and heard the big news, that the president is going to split up the Zone in two so the new zone is going to need a Zone leader...so guess who they called to be Zone leader again..ME! Haha I can't escape, and to make to story better my companion was transferred and I received a new companion to train him to be a Zone leader haha. SO my new companion is Elder Fernandes from Teresinha Piaui he has 9 month on the mission. So now I am back to doing splits every week and helping my zone out. These last few weeks won't be so easy as I thought, but it's going to be great to learn new experiences. This week we have 2 baptism which is going to be great! Daisy who is married with 1 kid and Dacilene who is a young women. Next week is the baptism of Samuel and Marcia who smoked A lot and were not married, but they are reading almost 50 pages per day and are smoking less and will marry on the 26th! YEA first marriage that is going to work! All the other marriages that I marked I was transferred or never arrived the right documents to mark the marriage. It is really hard to marry someone on the mission, but it will all work out. This was one of my goals on the mission and in my last area I was really close to marring someone, but didn't work out. I prayed and prayed and I was transferred to here and on my first day I marked the marriage of Samuel and Marcia so Heavenly father really does hear our prayers and sets up the way so we can progress in this life and when we have a goal and we give it our best the Lord does the Rest.  I can't believe that my mission is almost ending I thought this day would never come haha. I am very glade to be on the mission and I will do my best to serve the Lord. Not only until the end of my mission, but until the end of my life because it was him that gave me life then gave His son to save my life.
