This week
was pretty good here. It was quite interesting. Monday was normal
still, tuesday was normal as well. Really it was just Friday that was pretty crazy. Friday
afternoon was just a great day. That afternoon was super cool b/c I
got to see a family from my first area here in Brasil. We were just
walking down the main street here in the city and we suddenly here from a
car that was driving by, BATTRAW, BATTRAW and it was Irma Patricia from
Ala Canaranas. They are a super cool family. Later that night after
all of our appointments she bought pizza for all the missionaries here
and we got to hang out. That was really cool. Her two kids right now
are out on missions right now as well. Sunday
was a good day as well. Got to have Genelza to church with Raimundo! I
don´t think I´ve talked about them just yet. They are a married couple
in the late 40´s that we found through a street contact and have been
teaching them. They are super humble and this week was the first time
that they got to go to church with us. They borught 2 of their kids and
they absolutely loved it there! She got really excited and told us at
the end that she wanted to come back every single week! Super cool
family. We are still teaching Genelson. For some reason, he didn´t go
to church yesterday so this week we are going to talk with him. Andre
as well, this entire week he wasn´t able to talk with us, so hopefully
we´ll be able to talk with him this week! Joelle and Fabio are going
great! Last week they both went to church though this week they didn´t.
We went over Thursday
night and show Pres. Uchtdorfs talk from the last General Conference
about light and it was a good lesson. You can always depend on the
Apostles to share a good message. Joelle is getting excited about the
gospel! We´ve be getting back to talking with Diego! Talked to him
briefly Saturday
night and he seems great! This week we´ll be able to teach him again!
Carnival has started up here in Manacapuru which means huge street
parties every night until 3 am!
Its getting pretty crazy at times! We just try to avoid those areas
when its getting dark outside! Most people here don´t go to Carnival as
well, its just really all the younger people above 18. The parties will
be going until Wednesday night which will be the last huge party!
Carnival is pretty serious here! It´ll be interesting trying to teach
people during it, but everything will go great!
Hope that you all have a great week! I miss you all! Have an awesome week!
Love
Elder Battraw
