“I’m going to Melo”
Monday
We were able to attend the temple with Lucia, such a cool experience. The spirit was really strong. I was able to do some confirmations, it was the best feeling ever. Seriously, there is nothing better than being in the temple! I also said goodbye to my old area. The familia Laurito was the hardest goodbye. That place will always have a piece of my heart. Joaquin showed me how to make a Dream Catcher! Such a cool experience. Seriously I will miss that place forever! Its filled with humble and extraordinary people.
Tuesday – Wednesday
Well, I am now off to the farthest place in the mission! I’m in Melo, which is right by Brazil. Part of my area is Brazil. Time to start studying Portuguese! I hated having to say goodbye to people. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. It was like leaving my family all over again. Super hard. I took a 6 to 7 hour bus ride to my new area then waited another 20 minutes because my comp was late lol. My comp is from Peru. Super cool guy! I live in a house of straight Latinos. So time to brush up on my Spanish again. Wednesday, we gave a talk/lesson to our zone and helped some Elders move. Fun day! I have a lot more to do, haha. It’ll be fun though.
Thursday – Friday
It has been a different world living here. It’s super humid and so rainy. The people speak a mix of Spanish and Portuguese but hey, what is the gift of tongues for if we don’t have faith! Thursday, we talked to a ton of people. Friday, we talked to a guy named Duby (like Dobby in Harry Potter) haha. He is awesome! He was in an accident so we can’t baptize him right now, but el es un Capo. It’s been freezing here lately.
Saturday – Sunday
Saturday, I had the best study. If you ever have doubts trust in your mamas! They know all. (Alma 56) Well, today was so so cold. I froze! Lol, but we did teach a family and I was able to bare my testimony about my family. The spirit was so strong. It seriously felt like a piece of heaven was with us. We also taught Duby. I love this dude! He is such a humble guy. Sunday, well.. we have 20 members here and all of them are super old. We don’t have a mission leader and our Bishop is sick, so yeah… this area is a little tough, haha. I get to speak in Sacrament next week. This area definitely won’t be easy, but with a little faith anything is possible.
