11/11/24 - Opa

Once again we were not robbed this week.


This week has been fairly slow. 

My português is getting a lot better.  These last few days i have actually been able to understand a lot of people or get the jist( or gist, I don't know how it's spelled) of what they were saying. And I was able to respond and communicate well enough.

Yesterday we nocked at the wrong house and the people who opened the door are members who haven't been to church in a while.  The reason they haven't been to church is their 5 year old daughter.  While we were there she was literally bouncing off the walls.  It was so funny, they could not get her to hold still. She was jumping on our feet, stealing our tags, grabbing some of our stuff. We thought it was really funny so we were fine with it, but the parents kept telling her to stop but she wouldn't listen.  Hopefully we can help them come to church.

We taught Michael a few times this week and he came to church on Sunday.  He is progressing! During one of out lessons with him near the end I was bearing my testimony and I accidentally said that do not have the physical ability to poop.  Luckily he didn't hear the last word cause I said it quietly and my comp was able to correct me, but it was funny. 

Mormon 8:5 
I am alone. My father hath been slain in battle, and all my kinsfolk, and I have not friends nor whither to go; and how long the Lord will suffer that I may live I know not.
The faith that Moroni had is incredible.  He was all alone but he had the Lord by his side too.  So whenever your feeling alone, just remember that Jesus is walking right beside you. He knows how you feel and he wants to help you. Lean on him.  Let him help you. 

Have an amazing week. Amo vocês.

A chocolate filled churro.  It was really good.





This dog has the longest hair I've ever seen on a dog, and the owner doesn't plan on cutting it.  The dog also looks like an Ewok from Star Wars.


An Ewok for reference.
