A Haircut, Finally

Olá everyone! Tudo bem?


This last week was kind of a blur. It was good, though. We stayed pretty busy and talked to a bunch of different people. Lots of funny interactions. 


One of the amigos we are teaching is a soccer player for one of the teams here. He invited us to come watch part of his game, and it was awesome. We got in for free and everything. So that was really fun. 


Elder On and I decided to start watching The Chosen since he's never seen it before. I always forget how good it is, and he is loving it too. 


We got to go and play volleyball again with some of our amigos. Some of them are super good, so when you're up front, they'll go and spike it hard. It's pretty hard to actually save it. 


Pday today was the same as it always is. Except this week, we got haircuts. Then we went and walked around town, went to the mall, and Decathlon (a sporting goods store) again. It's super fun though. Never get tired of it, haha.


Sorry for the short and boring email, but I have no time to actually finish. Next week will be better, I promise.

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...
