This week has passed by very fast. It seems like each day we had some meeting or activity planned, but it was good.
My companion, Elder G. Rocha is a great guy. No matter what happens we are always able to talk and laugh, which takes off the stress and weight that always seems to be weighing above your shoulders.
I am grateful to have so many great elders in our zone. Elder Ramos lives about 10 minutes from us and we are always able to talk about the work, about the gospel, about life, and so on. Elder Thomas, from SLC, is on the other side of our area. He´s a great kid.
I think that the greatest thing that I have been able to see at times, is the importance of always doing our part with a smile on the face and then waiting patiently to see the salvation of the Lord.
The work is going well, the Lord has led us to some elect people and this transfer, and we have also planted a seed in the hearts of many people during these past 6 weeks.
Yesterday, I did a split with Elder J. Silva in an area of Maceió called Chã da Jaqueira. Its a pretty crazy looking place with lots of hills.
One appointment, we went to teach a young man at his judo fighting class (which is taught by a member) as we arrived the instructor had us join them to learn some beginner techniques and basic moves and had us "fight" with a few of the people there (which was more just like a training).
It was pretty interesting, after we trained with them we taught them a lesson about the Book of Mormon and were able to get a few references off of it.
Hopefully we see some fruit from it.
Today me and Elder Ramos went to Viçosa with a few other elders, we picked up Silvana, Roberta, and Macena and took them to the waterfall. It was a great day.
Roberta is our most firm recent convert from Viçosa, she is very cool she is preparing to make her first trip to the temple to do baptisms in August.
The Lord is helping us. I know that He lives, and hears our calls of help. That is something that has always comforted me.
Talk to ya next week:)
