Lets see what happened this week.....
- I walked a lot.... WE did lots of contacts.... there were lots of people that were "interested" in our message but they weren´t home when we got there or they gave us a fake address.... bummer sauce.... its ok its good exercise... haha buuuut ya we did meet a lot of interesting people.... I love my companion Elder Tafarel because he is amazing at contacts... He can take anything they say and apply the gospel to it and make them see why they need the gospel.... Hes pretty suave with that ...
- We were visited by Elder Godoy.... HE gave us some training.... he told us the only reason why were here is to baptize.... haha yup thats a good reason to be here... he said within the first lesson we should invite them to be baptized,,,, crazy sauce.... but my comp and i do that in our lessons now.... it does work.... we just gotta make sure they follow through with them.... people here have problems with commitment... we´ve had choke people commit to baptism but then we go to teach them more lessons and they are never there.... WE keep working hard.,... Its like that darn hill we used to run for swim team,... its really hard going up but then on the way back down we get to walk downhill haha...
- Today we had a christmas party.... We did a secret friend.... I got a pineapple.... cant wait to eat it hahaha.... i bought my secret friend a toothpick holder.... it is a penguin.... U push his head and a tooth pick comes out! he figured out how to launch the toothpicks.... now I want it back. hahahaa jk jk but seriously...
- Im so sorry peeps because I planned on emailing choke pics today but I forgot my camera sooooohooo not happenin.... Im so bummed.... Ive been taking quite a few pics.... Id run back to the apt to grab the camera but thats a 8km run and im chafing.,... tmi? too bad... haha but ya.... i do lots of walking...
- So last saturday we had a NATAL BRANCO which means White CHristmas.... all the baptisms in the stake were mashed up into one huge mega giant baptismal service.... it was awesome. the SPirit was so sttrong... it makes me wanna have my own baptisms.... im gonna log off this computer and go do work... I need to save some souls.... I love the work I do here.... I know the Lord will bless me as I keep his commandments and devote my life to him for these 2 years.... I love having that knowledge.... I feel so bad for those dont have the knowledge of the gospel... thats why its my calling to go forth and spread the word like butter....
- This last week we lost all our investigators or pesquisadores so we decided to do a billion and a half contacts.... we only got like 100.... not a billion and a half but ~100 was good enough for me... so this week after christmas we´re gonna go to work,,, its hard to work around christmas time because no one wants to let us in and "disrupt their peace" but we knock on doors anyways.... The people here are nice and warm but ya its christmas time and they wanna spend it with their families and not with two strangers haha i see where theyre coming from but its all good.... After Christmas we´re gonna knock on their doors again haha ....
I honestly have no idea what else to write.... the major events are listed up above.... thats about all that happened.... Life is good when ur doing the Lords Will... I love Porto Alegre Sul! Its the True Mission, the best mission, the promised mission.... I love all you guys and I´m doing my best out here.... SO ya be good....

Elder Ez-E,
ReplyDeleteMele Kalikimaka brah!
Keep knockin on dem doors and work harder! Haha it'll only make you stronger, might lift a burden of a sad soul, help the weeble knees n broken hearted.
I can always say that tracting is where most of my stories came from, them and street contacts! They make you laugh bc of what people or situation you may get into or spiritual as well.
Commitment is hard to get from strangers but listen to your senior comp, the spirit and instinct and you'll be on target. If all else fails, wing it. hahaha jk jk..
You just gotta have daily contact with those that you are teaching also so that you can make sure they are there... the golden chosen will be there and make further commitments so focus on those that will progress faster than those who won't... there time will "come right round right round, when they go down when they go down down" haha-Flo Rida
But keep enjoying and living it up in Brasil while its warm and its hecka cold here in NYC and ptown.
Much love bro and can't wait to hear more stories. and jam seshs. ain't the same without you.
P.S. remember that one big A room near the recording studio in at Harold's where there were building a movie screening room? yeah.. its PHATTYYY man #dopeswag #ginormous
