This week was pretty great. Nothing really special happened but it was just all around solid. Well we did have one special thing- We got another baptism this week! This time it was the wife of our last baptism, Paulo. She was pretty difficult but that made finally baptizing her all the better. For her, it was the message about eternal families that really caught her attention. Before that, she had close to no interest because she figured the church she already went to was the right church. It was pretty crazy to see the change in her as we continued to teach. She just seems so content now, while before she had lots of problems. The spirit definitely worked it's magic in her. And now we have our first family baptized! It feels so awesome to baptize families because you know that they'll be able to go to the temple one day and raise their kids in the gospel.
This week our main focus has been contacts. We really need more people to teach so we've been walking around everywhere and talking to everyone we see. We've learned that the best places to make contacts is far from our house. Near the outside of our area. It's been good because we have some pretty promising contacts but the walking is killing both Elder Alcantara and I. By the end of almost every day I think my legs are about to give up. But you've gotta do what you've gotta do. This heat just makes it tough.
I can't think of anything else that happened this week so that's it for me this week. Ate mais!
I also started drawing a bit cause elder Alcantara and I both like to draw so I drew spider man. It's nice to do other stuff in your free time- good way to relax a bit. Kinda funny how different our lives are. I never have down-time right now! I tried to play the salt game one time here... Then I realized that I probably shouldn't cause, you know, I'm a representative of Jesus Christ. Looking professional all the time is hard.
