This week in Itacoatiara, so monday was pretty normal. Nothing
extremely special happened. Tuesday we got to District Meeting and the
heavens opened and it began to rain like there was no tomorrow. We were
fine, but the other elders in our district didn´t happen to make it out
unscathed. Fun stuff. Wednesday was normal. Saturday
was cool b/c that night we got to have a Stake activity with the young
single adults and they invited all of their friends to come over and we
had 8 missionaries give a combined lesson on the Restoration. Super
cool! The next day as well we got to leave and do a visit and managed to
find a new family to teach that are super cool. Its a mom and she has 5
daughters and she runs a bakery and she is a woman of great faith.
Super strong and we are so excited that we will be able to teach her. Sunday
night we got to help out with a baptism with the other elders which was
cool. This week we got to talk with Jucileno and his wife for the
first time, that is teaching them together and we left an invite to read
the Book of Mormon with her. We came back Saturday
to visit them and she had already read all of the Introduction, and up
to 1 Nephi 12 and was still reading. She is super cool. Jucileno is
also going really well and it is super cool to teach them. This week we
got to get Amanda confirmed and was super awesome. I´m really starting
to appreciate those piano lessons that I got, b/c now i play the organ
for sacrament meeting every week in our branch here. Sunday
night I served as an emergency pianist for the district choir as well
for a few minutes. Really thankful that I know how to play piano now!
Today was transfers, but Elder Brock and I will stay here in Itacoatiara
for this next transfers and we are super excited! Its going to be an
awesome week!
Hope that you all have a great week this
week! Thanks for the packages and socks! Have an awesome week! Good
Luck Marching Tiger Band! Miss all of you!
Love
Elder Battraw
