Hello pessoal!
This week was rather boring, nothing new happened.
That's a lie.
WE HAD 5 BAPTISMS!!!!!!!
The two families that we had been working with got baptized
and they were able to get everything together to be baptized this week. Vera
and Carlos quit smoking, Maria and Carlos got married, and we had churrasco (barbeque) on
both Saturday and Sunday! It was amazing!
I just have to echo what Elder Hopper #2 said about baptisms
being amazing. They are. They're about the best thing. EVER. Especially when
you know that many more people will enter into the truth and have the wonderful
happiness that the gospel brings because of those people. Victor, a kid that we
baptized, wants to serve a mission! I'm so excited for him to do that! And
Maria and Carlos are the ones that have a son on a mission in Belém, and so he
must be super happy now, too!
I'm not sure what else to say because that's all that's in
my head right now!
Oh, right. Well, there's an Elder here named Elder Olsen.
He's our Zone Leader. He's going home next Monday. His mission is over. He's
from California. Anyways, we saw him here in the center last Monday after
sending emails, and he told us that his house had burned down. Two weeks before
he was supposed to go home. How sad would that be? So now his family has to go
through the trouble of getting themselves a new home and all that. Good thing
they have fire insurance! Nobody in the family was hurt, just a painter that
was inside the house when it exploded. Literally exploded. He just got 1st and
2nd degree burns, though. But I'll send a picture of Elder Olsen for you all to
see him. Along with a picture of our 5 baptisms!
Have a great week! Love you all!
-Elder Hopper #1
