Hey everyone!
So this week was
amazing! There's something awesome that happens when two missionaries get
together for the first time in a place where neither of them have set foot and
with hope and faith that things will start happening, they do. So we got
working. We knew where our house and the chapel were. The previous Elders didn't
leave ANY addresses behind, just some notes on some investigators they were
teaching. We hit the pavement, we talked to a TON of people this week and
already found some people to teach.
The most incredible was a man named Y, whom we began teaching at his doorstep and then he invited us in to learn more.
We watched the Restoration movie and he related very well to Joseph Smiths
story. He has been confused for some time about all the world religions, he's
been seeking to be baptized and take of the sacrament and he told us that his
main concern is that he wants to be ready when the Savior comes again. One day before we
knocked on his door he was watching TV and saw a program about the
"mormons" on TV and was interested. Then who shows up? |
| Oh, I don't know... maybe THESE two? |
We also added an investigator who is a good friend of a member that I actually met in Itaboraí, and he's on date to be baptized this Saturday! Y2 is incredibly prepared and super excited to become and member of the Church!
Anyway, we had some incredible experiences this week. My companion, Elder L is awesome and is very charismatic and everyone loves him. Hes a hoot! The ward is very friendly and I am absolutely stoked to be serving here along with Elder L. We are living in a MASSIVE apartment, it's not super clean but its spacious. 2.5 bathrooms! I'm with my Ecuadorian comp and a Chilean and another Brazilian...
Alcantara is an old city and has a MAJOR bus stop that runs through the center of town. You have to come here to catch any bus to any other part of Niteroi, São Goncalo or Itaborai. I passed through Alcantara TONS of times in my time in Itaborai.

So yeah that's about all for this
week, great things are to come!
I love you all soooo much!
