This week was pretty full! We're working
tons with this one Family, and doing splits and travelling as usual.
Sorry I'm on late again! I'm in Vitória for yet another doctors appointment. Funny stuff happens on the mission, especially to my companion (haha). But
this week was just a follow-up/check-up for this crazy eye infection
she had like a month ago. But anyways! this week it decided to be
summer. Just plain HOT. My comp and I were reminded of the old days when
we came home every day drenched in sweat, and then woke up that way
too, no matter how many showers we took or fans that we plugged in. It's
just hot! But anyways, we're using plenty of sunscreen and drinking
lots of water, so we'll survive.
Just a funny/cool
experience from this week: my comp and I were studying this really cool
talk one day (in Subway, prepping for splits the next day and
enjoying a little bit of american food) that honestly didn't have
anything to do with this, but we decided we wanted to help people come
back to church. 5 minutes after we made and wrote down our goal, this
Young man comes up to us saying that he's a member, but doesn't go all
that often. Weird, right? Well that was the first of 5 that day! All you
have to do is express a righteous desire (in the spirit of prayer) and
the Lord makes it possible! Reminds me of Nephi, in the book of Helaman
(I think), whom the Lord promised that whatever he asked of the Lord
would happen.
This week we focused a lot on this Family that we're teaching, including some really creative lessons, and a Family night or two. Their names are Daniela (the mom, who is not legally married and has a complicated situation with her boyfriend that she doesn't even like), Genivaldo (15, is progressing toward baptism), Elizabete (13) Carlos Daniel (11) and Ellison (2) who finally started to like us this week!

Things in the branch are a little difficult,
but things at "home" are awesome. We spent the whole week eating
the leftover açaí from last week, plus 2 potes of ice cream that someone
gave us. And planning really creative activities and what not.
This week we did splits here in Linhares with Sister Parente and Sister Olsen. Sister Olsen and Sister Farias had an amazingly productive day in the neighborhood where we usually work, and Sister Parente and I went after some really awesome people in a other neighborhood (a little farther away) that we found when we were together (like over a month ago) but that we hadn't managed to come back and teach.

Ok I'm really out of time, sorry! Hope and pray that next week will be better! Love you all tons!!!
