Good morning family and friends! I hope you are all happy
and well.
So this week will be wrapped up pretty quickly seeing as we
ran into some health issues that really kept us back, but don't worry too much it
wasn't me this time :D My comp has been dealing with an ingrown toenail for a
while now but hasn't had the funds to see a doctor, so when our payments came in
this week we went there first. He got it worked on and it was UGLY. On top of
that, we caught mad diarreah this week. On top of that our progressing investigators
were abnormally difficult to get a hold of .... It was kinda a rough week for us but there is always a highlight.
Two actually.
First is that we continued to work with a family that is on
their way back into activation and we helped them with a move. We moved their
fridge and other furniture into their new home, which is still on our area so
we'll continue to work with them! They came to church Sunday and are coming
along great.
So funny story this week. Here in Brazil the largest youth
activity occurs during Carnaval. It's summer vacation here and its better that
the youth avoid any type of carnvaal related activities.... So the youth trip is
planned for next moth, but it's in Sao Paulo and kinda expensive. X had
really wanted to go but the price was a bit out of his grasp. His parents have
already passed away and he lives with his older sister who has two of her own
kids and is single.... The ward hosted a fundraiser where members donated old
items and they held a mini thriftstore on Saturday to help the youth raise some
money for the trip. Well on his way there to help he found 750 reais in
the street (Roughly 300 dollars!!!!) and that's enough to pay the trip and
more! So nows he's on board and I'm so glad.
I love you all and hope you all have a good week!!
