Last One Everybody! It´s the End.

What is up everybody, things are getting really hyped! I´m going nuts right now. I get goosebumps every day my end gets closer. Just 7 more days everyone... well 9 if I count the day I actually get back. The mission was such a great experience. If I had the chance to press a button to return to the start of my mission to try to make it better I wouldn´t, because I know that this was the best that I could make it. But if I could go and relive all of it again. I would.

So let´s get on with the week. So for a week it wasn´t as great as we had hoped for, we ended up cutting one of our investigators that was really progressing and he just decided he didn´t want to follow God anymore, because he would rather go out drinking Saturday night and then go to the mall on Sunday. So we stopped working with him.

We were able to find a new investigator this week who is progressing very well. His name is Alexandre and he has been invited by his recent converted friend who used to be Athiest. If that´s how you spell that? But he is really interested in the church. He wasn´t able to come though because his grandpa wanted them to go to his house so we will try and help him go for next week.

Best part of the week was definetly general conference. That was such a great time I loved every moment of it. On Sunday one of our investigators, Victor watched it in english with us because he knows how to speak. He is also Athiest so we are hoping that this might have helped him gain an understanding about God more. We will see what happens with him this week and then I will let you all know what happened in person.

So that´s all. 102 weeks of emails and fun times. I loved every moment of my mission. It has been a huge change for me, one that I will remember forever. I am so grateful for the Lord choosing this wonderful place that I could serve in. A part of me will always be in Brasil, and I´ll bring a little home with me as well. Portuguese I hope will never leave my mind. Well everyone! It was fun. Love you all and have a great last week without me, because next week I will be back, and it´s going to be a wild time! Until then!

2 Left Everyone!!!

What´s happening everybody. What is new with the world outside of my mission! Things are going great here allow me to share the highlights of the week.

So to start things off we were able to find a new investigator who is super awesome. His name is W, we call him Wever. He is super awesome. We found him doing calistenics in a park. We have been doing calistenics every night after we finish work and we are finding a lot of people there who can progress a lot, we have started teaching many of them about the gospel and Wever is liking it a lot. He even came to church on Sunday and he liked it a lot. We will be visiting him more this week, and we are hoping to invite him to be baptized next week after General Conference.

So we are going to be trying a new area this week. We haven´t been having much success in our area that we normally work. So we should have some new stuff happening this week. So that´s all. Sorry for such a short email. Love you all. Have a great week!
