So this week was busy but not really. There are alot of activities and changes but not a whole lot of stories. So anyways...
Monday through Wednesday was the same except for me finishing my first transfer in the field. We celebrated with a BBQ and it was SO GOOD. The other days were just long and did the same old things. Thursday we had the activity at the church which was a good time and had an okay turn out. But i always love the Thursday night because we get to hang out with the members and get to know them better!
Friday we finally had the BATISMO of Arthur and i had the privilege of baptizing him! It was a way cool experience and I actually had to do the ordinance twice because I didn't pronounce one part correctly but it was ok. We had dinner and cake afterward and it was also way good. The shocking thing about that day was i got a new companion. The lord truly answers prayer. There was mess up with the transfers in São Paulo and we got an odd number of missionaries. So for some reason i got a new one, and i am happy. His name is Elder MElO and we are ready to get some work done here in Cáceres. I am super excited and hope I have a better experience with him.
Saturday we were suppose to have a volleyball tournament but not a lot of people showed up so we just played soccer, volleyball and FOOTBALL, like american football. It was so fun and funny because no one knows how to throw a football and they were amazed at me and my ability to throw. It was a good time and i woke up Sunday with a sore shoulder, haha.
Sunday was super cute because it was the primary program and they tore down the roof. It was great and we had 70 people at church . We haven't had that many in a long time. After church we ate lunch and took Elder Barros to the Bus station to get transferred. It was a bitter sweet moment but I am glad he is gone!! But I wish the best of luck to him on the rest of his mission! We went home after and had a 4 HOUR planning session of the week. It was awesome and we did a lot of cleaning out the Area Book. I am excited for the plans that we have made for this transfer. around 6ish last night we had choir practice for Christmas at the church and it was a good time. i am singing tenor and really happy to sing for Christmas.
SO that was my week this week. I am going to Cuiabá today for a Zone Conference tomorrow so that's a 4 hour bus ride for me today. Time to catch up on some sleep! This week will be filled with parties and trips so there will be a lot to write about next week. I love you all, tem uma boa semana e preperar por NATAL!!! (It's a good week and prepare for Christmas!!!)
