the two new elders are Élder Stinnett and Élder Asto. Stinnetts a little machine, he was pumping out tons of results in his other area so now he´s training! Élder Asto is Peruvian, he´s got only a week here in Rio! he comes up to about my thigh but he´s a spiritual giant. Dont know if you´ll believe me, but he knows Élder Wariner!!! he used to splits with matt when he was deciding on whether or not he wanted to serve. theyre really helping us out with the workload! its pretty fun living with three other missionaries, theres always something rediculous going on! we´re really working on our hours, its been pretty hard getting to bed/getting to personal study on time...
This weeks been slow because of the changes here in our area. ive spent the week showing the area to my friend Élder Asto. his portuguese is pretty good despite the fact that he´s new. we are however setting ourselves up for much sucess!!
one of our progressing investigators is Daniela and Vilma. theyre hilarious! such great people o be around. Vilma´s son was robbed and murdered a few years back(something very common here in rio...) and its very clear how it has affected her. shes such a sweet lady. the plan of salvation is helping her a ton. Her daughter Daniela is so ready to be baptised, but Vilma is a bit reluctant, we´re needing to help build her faith! theyre baptismal date is for the 23, but lets see if we can get them into the water before then!!
theres tons of other progressing investigators in our teaching pool at the moment(40 FAMILIES), and i love each and every one of them. my capacity to love increases daily! it truely is a gift from god. im so excited to see the miracles this week has to offer!!!!"
