What would be my preference? It would probably be to live
upstairs. I just wouldn´t want to share bed with him, thats it.
Sounds like you all had a pretty busy week! How was the PA Fest? What
was the theme this year? Swimming lessons, where? would I get to use
the car? That would be something to do during the summer. I got the
final word on my itinerary. So I will leave Manaus to Miami at 12:01 am and I get to Indianapolis at 12:08pm (midday) on June 30.
They will officially send my itinerary next week, according to the
secretaries. It will be fun. Its a lot better then trying to go to
Brasil. It´ll be cool.
This week was a bit crazy. Monday was
normal, just the normal p day routine! Tuesday was the last district
meeting of the transfer with Elder Jesus and Pablo. That was fun to
have with both of them. Wednesday Elder Jesus and Pablo both left for
Manaus in the afternoon so I stayed with Elder D. Silva in Manacapuru
for the rest of that day. It was cool to be able to work with him for a
day. Thursday we got to work a little bit and then we as well left for
Manaus to be able to get there for the mission tour by Elder Schmeil of
the Seventy. The trip was pretty good, normal. We stayed with the
assistants that night. The next morning we got up and headed over to
the chapel for the mission tour. It was really cool to listen to Elder
Schmeil talk. He talked a lot about exact obedience as missionaries.
The tour only lasted until mid day, so afterwards we had lunch at the
chapel and then we headed to the temple to do a session there. That
night we got to go to a restaurant called Mr. Pizzo that is all you can
eat and it was really good. Saturday morning we headed back to
Manacapuru to be able to help out with a baptism that was scheduled for
that night. That day was mostly running around filling up the font and
getting everything set up. Sunday
morning was Stake Conference in Manaus so the 2 wards in Manacapuru had
rented 4 buses to be able to get there so we tagged along. The buses
left the chapel at 7:30 in the morning and got to Manaus about 9:30.
The Conference was really good. One of the speakers was Elder
Mazzagardi of the Seventy and his talk was really good. He said one of
the best ways to strengthen the church and its members is to teach them
how to hold the Sabbath day holy. That was really cool. Another quote
was The Restoration, the plan of salvation, chapels , meetings
everything in the church would be useless without temples. That was one
of my favorite quotes from the conference for sure. After that we went
and visited a few people in Manaus with Elder Pablo. Today was the
transfer and I got my new companion, Elder Fernandes from João Pessoa.
Hes seems really cool so I´m excited for this next transfer! We got back
to Manacapuru today.
I hope that you all have a great week! I miss you all!
Love
Elder Battraw
