O Dia de Finados (The Day of the Dead)

Monday, November 6, 2017

ALÔ! Nós quanto tempo! Senti como uma semana! haha [What’s up! Man this was a great week!]

So first off, Halloween apparently passed. We did nothing to celebrate that day (not even candy... triste [sad]) BUT we celebrated something called “O Dia dos Mortos” or “O Dia de Finados” which is the day of the dead. (cool name)  So, this day was really cool. We just showed up and handed out pamphlets, but mainly about the Plan of Salvation and how families can be together forever. 

It was a really good experience and meu amigo Luis Andre helped us pass some out! He has only been a member for a month but is helping more than some. I am impressed! Which brings me to my next point. We have been visiting him and started teaching his parents, brother, and sister! And his sister and parents have baptismal dates! It is great when you start teaching a family because now when they are baptized they can all be sealed together and it will be the greatest thing in the world! OH, and his other brother, Saulo, is being taught by the assistants of the president in their area and he sounds pretty firm as well! It is pretty awesome. 

So final thing that happened this week was that Elder Antunes, a local Seventy passed by and gave two great talks. The first thing though is that he told some stories that I didn’t expect from a Seventy.  But then he talked a lot about missionary work and how we as missionaries should work with members but also that we should be people that lift up others up. (Listen to “You Lift Me Up”). President Lacerda also said that the people we love is what we represent. So let us love the Lord and represent him! I hope everyone has a great week!

Love,

Elder Kupferer
