Week 48

Transfers came and im staying in salto. With elder hutchison. What luck.

AND 2 new missionariaes are coming to the zone. And theyre BOTH Brazillian!! vamos a falar!!

Well... Great week this week. We got a call from the hermanas this week, and their investigator that was going to be baptized on saturday is 17, and HADNT told her parents yet that she was going to be baptized. she lives with her aunt, and her parents are pretty anti mormon people. Well... so we decided to do a fast for her. This was thursday, and she was supposed to be baptized on saturday.

so we called the whole zone and started to do a fast so that she would be baptized. The next day, we got a call. And the hermanas told us a little bit of great news.

That they had brought up the challenge with her and her aunt, and then her aunt told them that she was technically this girls legal guardian and has the legal ability to sign documents in behaf of her. What in the world. In paraguay, too! So that was great. Our fast was answered, and  she was baptized on saturday.

another fun story.

we were just about to end our fast on friday haha by eating some of our favorite lomitos, and then this black brazillian man came up to us and started speaking to us in portugese. we did not understand anything, but it was very apparent that he wanted us to give him food, because he kept saying thaat he was hungry and wanted us to help him out (ok so maybe we DID understand a lot of what he was saying). We sat there for a moment and talked aobut it. We didnt want to give him any money, so we decided to buy him a lomito.

we went there and ate a lomito with him and practiced our portugese. His name was a very random brazillian name, and he has 12 sibblings... thats about all the portugese we know haha as we finished eating he thanked us a ton and left.

well it was good to help him out.

The next day, we had a zone meeting, and one of the elders in our ozne made a cake. And there were stilla couple of pieces left that we sdidnt want... but we had to take it. So we were awkwardly transporting this cake through the city going back to the pension where we were planning on just giving it to a member, when the SAME brazillian man came up behind us and started talking to us again. We offered him the cake, and he took it and left haha what a lifesaver!

well my testimony grew this week. Procelyting is awesome. i love you all with all my giant lion heart.
