Week 44 - A Good Week in Cabanagem

Apparently eating Acai makes him crazy... and apparently 

Elder Steindorf is used to this since he stayed so calm!

Hello!!

So this week was good. We got quite a few things done.

Yall remember that lady I talked about last week whose son is a member? Well she is SUPER firm for baptism this Saturday! She came to the church activity last Wednesday and came to church by herself Sunday. She was inviting everyone at church to her baptism! She is super good. The last lesson we taught her was great. She has a problem with coffee but she promised to stop drinking it. She started crying during the lesson talking about how she felt when she prayed and recieved an answer about the church. To me, an investigator telling us that they recieved  an answer about the church is is better than a baptism. To see a person sincerely search for an answer from God and to recieve it, that is what the mission is all about. It makes me remember the time that I sincerely searched for an answer about the Book of Mormon and the feeling that I felt when I prayed. And thats really why I am here, to help these people feel the same Spirit that I felt and recieve the same blessings that I recieve because of the Gospel. 

So açaí is officially in full gear. Starting in December, açaí isn't as good and super expensive. But this is the best time of the year to grow açaí so everyone is selling it. Lucky for us, we baptized a lady that sells açaí for a living so she gives it to us for FREE!! Oh the blessings.

So this week will be special. We will have a visit from the first counselor in the general young mens presidency. He will talk to us on Wednesday. So that is exciting. My companion asked why the young mens presidency wants to talk to missionaries and I said that he will probably tell us that we aren't real men and we are still a bunch of kids. So thats probably what will happen!! haha

So funny experience last week. We went to another area to do an interview, and as we were coming back we walked along this wall that usually has a bunch of little monkeys. Sometimes we even get to play with them a little bit. But we saw a few and just kept walking. Then I felt something wet hit me. I looked at my hand and pants and had some sort of brown wet substance. So yes, I can officially say that I got pooped on by a monkey in my mission. 

But really, thats about it that happened this week. Next package can you send my fishing hat? I've been wanting that. And more peanutbutter please!

I'll try to send some pictures later!

Love yall!!
