Week 54 - Everything is da hora in Marambaia with Elder Gann!

Hello!

So this was a good week. We have a lot of good people we are teaching. Elder Gann arrived Monday and we went to work! We found lots of new people this week and have a few good possibilities for baptism. We had 1 baptism firm for the 20th but we found out this week that Stake conference is this Saturday and Sunday so we will have to postpone the baptism for 1 week. This will be my second stake conference in the Cabanagem stake. #BrasilCabanagemMission

So Elder Gann worked out a lot before the mission and knows lots of exercises and stuff. We made a deal and he is now my workout trainer so don't be surprised if I end this transfer looking like a beast!! 

There was an activity in the Entroncamento Zone this week. It was a Mini MTC for all the youth in the stake. Our zone went and we sang 2 songs. There was about 60 kids there maybe more. We sang 'Put your shoulder to the wheel'. In Portuguese the song says 'our law is work' (Nossa lei é trabalhar) but we changed it to 'our law is baptize' (Nossa lei é batizar). It was da hora (Google Translate says this means 'so cool'). They also asked us to sing 'Called to Serve' and since we have 4 powerful American elders in the zone we sang a little bit in English and the rest in Portuguese. Everyone loved it.

I love it here! We are teaching really good people and me and my companion work well together. And guess what - my companion cuts hair! Like a professional! He cut my hair this morning and its da hora.

I ate this whole thing in like 10 minutes. Best thing I have ever eaten. Eggs, bacon, meat, sausage, hot dog, ham, French fries, barbecue sauce. da hora!!!

Well thats about it for this week, Love yall!!
