The Ride...Right on Time

Saturday, July 21, 2018

Hey everyone! So this week has been really cool.

This week started on Sunday, as we brought a family to church! This family is comprised of Maria, Janaína, and Leonardo. When they showed up, we invited Leonardo to do an interview with our district leader, and when he left, he had a date marked for the 29 of July! It was really cool and we will be here for him! Then, during the week, it has been a bit busy haha.

I have been working with the Polícia Federal helping renew some visas, I have been doing a lot of busy work here as well, and I am always learning as I go! It has been fun to work here in the office. But something cool happened out on the street yesterday! We were still working on a few things here in the office and we left a little behind schedule. So, we started walking and were planning on walking the whole way because we only had enough money for one passage (in paper). There was one point where we saw the sisters in our ward enter the bus and we were a bit discouraged because they would get to where they wanted so much faster! And that was when we heard someone honking right next to us and…. It was President José Carlos, one of the councilors in the stake!! He asked us if we wanted a ride and of course we said yes! He told us that he usually dosen’t take that way but he felt that he should this time. So we were able to arrive where we needed to, and we taught some great people last night (including Leonardo and his family). So this week was really good and I know this next week should be just as good!

I hope everyone has a great week!
