Hello!!

This was a very busy/good week. 

Last Monday we went to the less active members house to teach her son. He got super excited when we got there and basically asked to be baptized. We spent the rest of the week teaching him what he needs to know and he was baptized on Saturday. Sunday he even brought on of his friends to church! So that was exciting.

Tuesday we had a meeting with the president in Belém. It was a very effective and good meeting. The presidente gave an awesome lesson about the doctine of Christ and how we need to have a little more faith and trust in the Lord. All of us need to understand that there only exists 1 way to return to the presence of God and we have to show people the way. We have to understand a little better the importance of our calling and our responsibility.

After the meeting, the assistants came back to Castanhal with us for 2 days. I stayed with elder Christensen and Elder Gaspar stayed with Elder Romero. It was super good. They also stayed for our Zone Meeting on Thursday. WE had a good meeting. We ate lunch at a members house who made lunch for all of us. One of the district leaders has been sick. He went to the doctor in Belém and we werent sure if he was going to be at the meeting or not, but I thought everything would work out. But Wednesday night at he called and said he wouldnt make it. So I had to come up with something to talk about for an hour and a half during his district meeting because he wouldnt be there, and also my 30 minutes for the whole zone. I had to talk a lot that day and everyone was tired of hearing my voice!!!

We found lots of new people to teach this week. Really we found lots of good people and 1 man that was taught only once came to church all by himself. Walking and his house is far!! Too bad I was transfered, but there are people in every area waiting for the gospel!

So yeah this week was transfer week and I was transfered. I am currently at the mission office in Belém and tomorrow my plane leaves at 2 o clock to Marabá!! I am super excited! Everyone says that it is a really good area and I will be companion to elder Bartoski. He arrived with me and might be my last companion.

Well that is about it for this week, I will tell you more next week about the new area!

Love yall!
