Let’s get ready to TRUMPle!!
Okay that’s all for my Donald Trump jokes for now I’m sure the
rest will come with time. (trumpleskilston..?) basically the entire Brasilian
population is now feeling that they have the right to laugh in my face due to
the fact that a horrible corrupt rich robber man is now president of my
country, as has always been the case here in Brasil... it’s a fun turn of
events here getting to hear a new snippet of info every day from someone on the
street or in the ward. Is there really going to be a giant wall dividing Mexico
and the states? How many wives does he have? These are the questions that haunt
me.
But on for things that have real eternal significance in our
lives, transfers are in and I’m staying here in my area with Sister Menezes
until I leave for home. That is the only thing that stayed the same in the
mission, literally everyone got mixed up and moved around and it’s a wild
frenzy here right now. I just think ´´I’m not really worried about any of you
fools because in 5 weeks I’ll be in my own house in my pjs watching
Law and Order´´ and that gives me comfort.
But this week was good, we got smart and starting praying to
meet people who didn’t need to wait to be married to be baptized. And it
worked! We met some people who went to church for the first time. The only
horrible thing that happened was in the gospel principles class when we were
studying about the Book of Mormon. A nice and little bit crazy recent convert
decided to start talking about how the Book of Mormon even warns the world
about the catholic church which is the mother of all the abominations and all
of that, forgetting that the vast majority of people who visit the church are
catholic or their entire family is.... I sunk so low in my chair when she said
that and whispered to our investigator, Paulo, that that wasn’t true and she didn’t
know what she was talking about. We´ll see if he wants to come back... but we
met him, who is 18 and his grandma who started talking about how she’s been catholic
since she was born but always felt like there was something missing there. And
all of a sudden she says ´´I think I’m going to change my religion. I think I’m
going to go to this church of yours.´´ ding ding ding we have a winner!!! We´ll
get to teach her more this week to see how it goes.
Other than that I’m excited to start my 1st transfer! Just 5 more
weeks and then I never get to wear my name badge any more... I think that’s going
to be the worst part. But until then I’m trying to just focus on helping my
companion and the area. There is a lot of work to be done! Have a great
week, take care of yourselves and I’ll see you soon! I love you all!
