He´s come with such a desire to work. His vision of the work and faith in Christ are without limits, he´s been incredibly prepared for the work.
Im not sure if Jasmine saw the same thing while training, but my sompanion copies EVERYTHING I DO. if i hum, he hums! if i grab a second plate at lunch, he does too! he´s even been observing and copying my personal study... its crazy! but its really been helping me to be obedient, my example to him is everything!
We´re learning a ton together. Unfortunately the "baptismal well" dried up once My new companion arrived, so we´re throwing ourselves into the work 200 percent. im grateful that my previous companion prepared me to train, now im already used to doing all of the work....
My companion is learning pretty quickly, his apetite to learn is incredible! He wants to do everything at the same time but doesnt know how haha ive have some pretty good laughs this week. im patiently teaching him the basics(how to wash clothes by hand, iron clothing make food, etc.) he reminds me alot of mylsef when i got here!
the work is going great, i know that i was supposed to stick it in for one more round( i should have been home last week.... all of the elders from my group are now sending trunky emails to me from home). its in overtime that the players give it there all, im hitting the nos on the last stretch!!"

"IM GONNA BE A DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats right! i´ll be training a newbie these last six weeks! i´ve got six weeks to cram everything i know into the poor guys head. from what the secretaries said he´ll probably be an american... looks like i´ll have to re-learn english!
we´ve had three barbeques this week... im getting fat :)
we had two baptisms this week- Marcos Vinicius and Romário. solid young men of great faith. ive gotta run to the new trainers meeting in rio. more details about them later!!
i love this work. im praying that my "son" is ready to work, and that im ready to train him!!"

this week was once again slow, but at least we´re able to work again now that the "bagunça" is through!
a man named Reginaldo was baptised this week. he has putting off baptism since before i got here, but now that the family rolled into town, he decided to "fall into the water!" cant say that i had much to do with the conversion process... but at least the ward is getting more animated, we actually had a correlation metting this week(which we´re supposed to have every week with the ward leaders) and the members are wants to work with us..... YAAYYYY!!!
i cant lie, this entire transfer ive been pretty spent. because of every challenge here ive had to do 200 percent of the work which is... tiring :/ but im happy to be here! im so grateful to be a representative of Christ. more details next week!!
