Happy Monday everyone!
My bad for not writing an email last week, life's gotten pretty busy here.
Happy 4th of July last week!!🇺🇸🦅🔫🎇🇺🇸
On the 4th of July I went to my first Festa Junina, which is basically a Brazilian harvest party. It was super fun and there was a bunch of good food! And as the 4th of July I taught a bunch of people how to say "God bless America" and took a video of it! (Shameless google photos plug: https://photos.app.goo.gl/EQG3K68BLWXZWLEz8 ) This was a pretty fun 4th of July even though there were no fireworks or guns🔫.
Now this week
Remember the part in the movie Tangled where Flynn Ryder is swordfighting Maximus (the horse) with a frying pan? He said the quote above. It fits pretty well to how this week went.
So, on Wednesday we had a really great day and we had a bunch of unplanned lessons and by the end of the day where we had to start walking home, I wanted to do more visits but we just have time. We were walking home when this guy, his brother, and his mom start walking near us going the same direction. But they were dragging a washing machine from the hose, just like you'd walk a dog!! So like the good missionaries we try to be, we asked if we could help. They said they were good so we just kept walking. Then when our turn came, they turned too and started walking up the hill, so we just hopped in pushing a washing machine up a hill. We got to where they were going and we talked for a bit, it turns out that the mom is an inactive member! We invited her to the activies at the church and we went our separate ways.
Then the next day comes with a bit of a story (sorry). So I don't remember if any of you remember, but a month or so ago in my email I mentioned about an American we found living in São Caetano. So, when I got transferred out two Sisters, who don't speak english, were transferred in. And I'm still the DL here, so I got to figure out how were going to teach this American. So the only english speakers in the district are me, and a Colombian Sister. So on Thursday I taught the Plan of Salvation to an American with a Sister as my companion. So just Wednesday and Thursday were the strangest things I've ever done!
On Saturday there was an activity of a bunch of religions in São Caetano so all the missionaries in the stake got a chance to go for at least a few hours to help out. I got to see a bunch of my friends from São Caetano!
This really is the true church of God here on earth! Pray and ask God for a testimony of it if don't already have one. And if you do, go share it!!
Ate próxima!!
