Week 55 - Soccer helps to share the gospel in Marambaia



Cabanagem Stake Conference

Hello!!

So this week was good. Quite a few things happened. We had stake conference on Sunday and I got to see all of the people from Cabanagem Ward. So that was fun getting to catch up with everyone. 

We have 1 person marked for baptism this Saturday. Her name is Micaela. She is a friend of a member and is super good. We are working with her this week so she will be prepared for her baptism. Her younger brother as well will be baptized in the coming weeks. So we are excited about that. Remember that lady I told you about named Valeska? Well she is progressing really good. She already has a testimony of the Church and of the Book of Mormon. She just needs to go to church but it is hard for her because she works. But we have already made plans to get her to church this week so everybody can be praying that it works out!

Tuesday someone was robbed on our street. But it was night and we were already home so we could just hear all the stuff that was going on. It was pretty crazy.

So the Olympics have been going on and Brazil made it to the final in soccer against Germany. For some reason the people here think we are German. They always yell at us on the road - stuff like "Hey German!". Brazilians hate Germany because they embarrassed them in soccer last year. But Saturday it was worse. We were walking on the road and a bunch of guys started yelling at us, calling us Germans and telling us this is Brazil and to get off their roads and a bunch of other stuff. At first we were a little uncomfortable but then we just started messing back with them and said, "Hey man are you crazy!! We ain't no Germans we are from the U.S.A!!" Then they started joking with us and we made some new friends. So that was fun. 

But you should have seen this place when Brazil won the gold medal game Saturday night. Neymar is like a god here. Everyone was going crazy!!! Fireworks and everything. And you best believe that we were cheering for Brazil too!!

I am loving my mission. I really can't think of a better feeling than when a person reads the Book of Mormon and prays and then has a spiritual experience. To me that's better than a baptism. 

I did get my little package mom. If you'll send my suit coat that goes with these gray pants in the next one please. And I'll try to send some more pictures.

Love yall!!
