Alô tudo mundo!
Man has this been an interesting week. I will first start with how
this week went. This week was packed!
Nós we were busy because in order to get the three perspective
baptisms this week, we needed to go there (visit the investigators?) basically
every day to make that happen. So we did that and everything was looking right
for that to happen until Thursday. We talked to the father of Rosimere
(she is older but she still lives at home) and her dad said, "oh you can
baptize someone who is still smoking" (Which two things, first that was
hard to translate that from Portuguese to English and second, she told us that
she had stopped smoking and everything) which was a surprise to us. So we
talked to her the next day and continue to talk to her about that. Then,
we talked to the mom of Fernanda, and she didn't give her permission after
20-30 minutes of trying to talk to her (but it went from a straight no to in a
few weeks so that is good haha).
Then, came Saturday. Saturday, we did splits because Elder Western
needed to do the interview because he is the zone leader and you need someone
who hasn’t been teaching and invested in the person to give the interview. So I
was with the other Zone leader when we received a call that Ingrid will get
baptized! Man I was super happy. We had a great turn out and after the
baptism I was just filled with so much joy because we helped another person get
closer to Christ and it is amazing to see that happen!
Then, after church (where she got confirmed!) we were having a
meeting with the ward missionary leader (Líder de missionária da ala in
Portuguese) when the Assistants called (we just finished our last week of the
transfer) and we received our next areas and companions.
So, my companion Elder Bledsoe will leave for Manchester and
finish the training of Elder Cunha there. (Still in Juiz de Fora so that is
chill). Elder Western and Elder Hilario will stay our zone leaders. AND I
WILL... do nothing as well I will stay in Bairu (Antiga Grajaú) and I will pick
up my new companion, Elder Valdivieri tomorrow at the rodoviária (bus station
lol) which is cool because first, he is from Argentina, and second, this is his
last transfer before going home so that will be fun! So yeah that was the week.
I will talk to everyone next week!
Love,
Elder Kupferer
