Hey y´all! Howdy doo?
This week was super busy! We spent alot of time in the mission office
which was a little bit of a bummer because we didn't have a ton of time in
our area but it's ok we did have a huge miracle happen this week.
We have been teaching this women for a super long time but she can't
get baptized because she is not married. Ever since I got here in the
area she has been going to church she was even going before I got here.
She's been going for about a year and a half. We haven't passed there
for a while because she hasn't been able to get married. We have tried
so many times and tried to do so many different things but she hasn't been
able to for some weird document she doesn't have. Then Sunday she showed
up at church again. This time with her husband. I've never seen him there.
We always talk to him about coming but he never comes. After church we went
to their house and talked to them about marraige again. They said they really want
to get married and they'll do anything to do it. The best part is that last week we
found a place that all the missionarys are going to help people get married because
you don't need that document! So now they can get married!! YAY!!
This week I also went on many adventures with Sister Chamberlain! (The missions
president wife) She is in charge of the health of all the missionarys and taking care of all of them.
What a huge resposability! Lately I have been helping her alot because she is still learning
portuguese. She is literally the nicest person on the face of the planet.
So yesterday we went on an adventure all the way to Caucia. It's a little city more on the edge
of Fortaleza. It was raining all morning so everthing was wet and the farther you get out of the city the worst the roads are. haha! We made it there fine, did what we needed to and left some things for the Elders at their house. We got in the car to go back and Sister Chamberlain went to do a little u-turn in the road, pulled up on the bank and we sunk into the mud.. haha it was so funny. She was like oh no I'm so sorry elders now what do we do? Me and Elder J. Flores got out and tried to push but nothing happen. We were stuck. Luckly all the Brazilians are like the coolest people in the world and they came out to help. Some guy came out to help us but he didn't really know what he was doing. Then some random crazy guy riding by on a bike just rode up, threw his bike down and started giving commands. He was like Hey give me that shovel and just started going crazy digging. Then he was like we need some wood. He ran around the corner and came back with some wood he fond in the road and stuck it under the tires. At this point we were almost out but we needed a little more help. There were some people walking by in nice clothes and he was just like.. HEY YOU GUYS GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW AND PUSH THIS CAR OUT! He didn't even asked he just comanded it was hilarious. Then we pushed the car out! YAY
Just as fast as he showed up he jumped on his bike and left, haha People here are so funny!
Got to love them.
Was a great week here!! Hope all you guys have a good one too!
Love you all!!
