Noite De Convívio

Olá!


I just emailed not too long ago, but I'll send another tiny update since it's p-day again.


There was a lot of fun stuff that happened the last few days. Last Friday we had a branch activity, which was awesome. We didn't expect tons to show up, but the turn out couldn't have been better! We did a few activities and challenges with everyone, like the toilet paper mummy, and oreo challenges. Afterwards, we had a ton of food to eat. 


I got to learn to cook some Brazilian food with some members in our branch, which was fun. Now I have feijoado and strogonoff in my arsenal of food to make.


I also got to play soccer with the members and others who live here. Playing with Brazillians and the Portuguese is crazy. I feel like I'm in the middle of no man's land. I'm getting a lot better at soccer because of it, and it’s tons of fun.


We also had a zone p-day with a ton of other missionaries. Lots of soccer, frisbee, and volleyball. We got a ton of pizza too. 


Tchau!

The Office

Olá todos!! Hope you all had a great week. This last Friday was transfers, and with 4 whole transfers, or 6 months in Lapa, it was almost a 100% guarantee that I would be leaving. And if you couldn't guess from the spoiler in the title, I have been transfered to the mission office doing social media/technology! It's awesome because we basically make all the videos and content for the whole mission, and I love this stuff so it will be a great time here. We also get to travel all around Portugal, so I will have a chance to see the whole country.  Anyways, my last week in Lapa was awesome. We had one last district council, which was awesome. I made garlic knots for the district, and then we also went and ate burritos. Burritos are always one of the best parts of the week. We also had a few last meals with members, which were all awesome. I'll definitely miss all of them. I also spent a but of time packing all my stuff, which was not super fun, but on the bright side, the offic...

Olá gente! This last week was a good one. We were able to put two of our friends on date for baptism! They're awesome, and we love teaching them.  Last week, we found a new friend from the Congo. At first, she just wanted to do a Bible study with us in Portuguese, because she wants to learn portuguese. Then after a bit, she started asking questions about missionaries, the church, and other things. She spoke English with us, but she's a native French speaker. So her Bible was French, which she read with us, but she somehow had a Spanish Book of Mormon. So we spoke English, read Spanish and French scriptures, and spoke some Portuguese. It was a very fun and interesting lesson. On Saturday, we were able to have a branch Christmas dinner. It turned out great, and we all had a great time. There was a ton of chicken left over, so us elders had leftovers for almost a week. Spiritual thought: Luke 2:10-12 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of...
