Thanks for the picture of the new house! I remember that
house now! Pretty nice house, does it have a deck out in the back?
Happy Birthday this week Mom! Congrats! Exciting that Marching Band is
starting up again! I can call a bit later on Mothers Day, I think
I´ll probably try and call about 5pm your time, about 6pm
here to talk. I know a few members here who have Skype, but I try to
get something arranged. Q and U got married? Thats a bit different, I
haven´t heard of that before. Mr. Fassold and Mr. Sturgeon, two of the
most teachers in the world. Its been a while since I was in their
classes but they were awesome teachers. I loved both of them. I don´t
know if you remember Mr. Fassolds thing with the box . That the first
day of school we all wrote our names on a piece of paper and he put them
all inside of a box. Then on the last day of school he decided who
that year had been able to prove that they were able to think out side
of the box! I was one of them! Sturgeon was the biggest star wars nerd
ever. I want to know if he still has the 4ft model of a starship
hanging from his ceiling. If you could send their emails to me I want to
send an email to them.
So my week has been a bit different than the usual. Monday
was the normal p day. We did a companion exchange where I went with
Elder Alvorado from Bolivia for the day and we ended up buying a whole
bunch of junk food and watched the Testaments. We both discovered that
we are also both addicted to Sprite (one of the few American drinks that
they have here). Tuesday
we had a Zone training which was super good. Talked a lot of about the
Key Indicators that we have and how we need to be using them. Super
good, and afterward we tried to do companionship exchanges, but my
companion recieved a phone call from the assistants and was emergency
transferred to Manaus, so Tuesday was mainly just staying at home while he packed up his bags to be able to leave. Wednesday
morning we dropped him off at the airport super early in the morning
and came back home. That day I got to spend the day in Teixarão with
some of the other elders. Fun to be able to go into another area and be
able to work there for a day. Thursday,
I was able to leave with a member so I was able to do some work in
Tancredo Neves. Right now its mostly just trying to find people to
teach. Friday was mainly the same thing going on. Left with a member to be able to teach for the day. Saturday
was the same that day. We managed to find some really cool people who
live pretty far away from us but are super excited to hear our message.
Their names are Isais and Jailson. They´re neighbors and are excited
to hear about the Book of Mormon and our message. We were able to find
them through a reference from some of the other elders here in Porto
Velho. Sunday
was super exciting. 80 people came to church that day and many were
people that its been a long time since they´ve been to church and its
super exciting to see them becoming more and more excited. This branch
here in Tancredo Neves is starting to become excited about missionary
work and its really cool to see them becoming so. Pretty awesome day to
say the least. Elder Battraw
