wow i dont even know what to say! i guess i can just say that i LOVE coming to new areas! espeically south america man! these people are awesome! everyone wants to hear about the gospel of Jesus Christ! and my favorite thing is talking to EVERYONE!! (id say thats a strenght of mine :)
so first of all a couple culture things! you know i just got done with soccer practice because frere leno trains us the monday morning! haha and monday night we went to his house and all the brazilians started dancing! and this weekend there will be a talent show! excited for what that will bring!! but also wednesday we play soccer you know.. and it starts raining right before and im like 'are we still going...? ' in my head! haha but OF COURSE!! we go to this turf field and play in the rain for 2 staight hours like it wwant even raining! these poeple are awesome!!!!! hahahah im dying! and volleyabll friday night and this recent convert family came and played (the picture) and the kids remind me of all my cousins! crazy, awesome stuff!
so talking to everyone can get you places man! last week no one came to church and trhis week a whole CAR came to church and we ended up with 7 amis at church! nuts! its called following the spirit.. but anyways i wanna tell you about this sweet investigator FERNANDO!! hes actually haitian and haitians i tell ya just have a really special place in my heart :) forever! so its like in between an appointment and were like supposed to talk to eveyrone right and im like known for that (seriuosly thatw what the mission thinks of me. haha) but so theres this little kid and im like 'alright im just gonna talk to him see how hes doing..' but then our appointment wasnt there so we go back and were lkike 'fernando can we teach you now?' and hes like sure! and hes awesome! then we go back and teach his dad and hes mlike super genuine and nice and wants to learn more and not marrie but has kids and wants to follow crhist, his name is samuel but theyre both just like YA PASS ANYTIME! so theyre the best investigators ever! fernando was supposed to come with another investigator to church but we went by sunday morning and he wasnt there! long story short we got this other investigaotr who like isnt even an investigator to come pick him up! and now fernando's preparing for the 16 of may to be baptized! what! guyane is wonderful! my favorite part of teaching him is just how much he loves understanding/ dc 50:22 just like describes how much he loves understanding.!!
i dont even know what else to say really except that this place is wonderful! were all working on finding families and autonome people (people with cars, self reliant that means) so that the branch can really progress! i mean ok! haha ill do whatever the Lord wants! heard my girl karly osborne got home and talked about following the spirit. I get it! people over complicate things! the Spirit is simple! Moroni 7:33 if it invites to do good its from God! Satan tries to confuse us. so if you have the idea to do something nice for someone, thats the spirit! and do it! it can only bring you happiness! i guess id say that right now im working on following the spirit in being the most effective with my time! really trying to build Christ!s church the best I can here! and i tell ya Guyane leaders make it real easy! but anyways i love serving the Lord and I love being here! Christ lives!
