Last week in Ermelino Matarazzo

Olá!!

Well, It was a great last week in Ermelino Matarazzo! I am being transferred!! woo! I am very excited, My new area is Campos do Jordão, way in the interior (more countryside). I leave for it tomorrow morning!! More details next week, but it is supposed to be super pretty with a ton of trees (woooo!!) It has been an amazing almost 7 months in Ermelino, and I have learned SO MUCH. But I am super excited to experience another area.

Então, this week´s main items haha:

-We taught D, a reference that is interested and was looking at the church site. we answered his questions and were able to teach him. It was a cool lesson, even being on the sidewalk with a ton of noise and cars passing by.

-We were contacting near a park, and started talking with a women sitting on the park bench. Turned out it was her day off of work, and she had the whole day to do nothing. Sooo, we were able to teach her as well! It was awesome, and she loved that families can be together forever! She is married and has a one year old girl. Obviously I wont be able to see her now since i am being transferred, but we are excited to teach her.

-When we went to a teaching appt for a girl, C, she was asleep. But, her boyfriend and cousin were there, and we were able to teach them talk with them a lot answering questions. It was a neat discussion, and the boyfriend has a lot of knowledge of the bible, and lots of questions. He really liked our message, and is studying more! And the cousin accepted a book of mormon as well. So, although we werent able to teach the girl we planned on teaching, we found two new people out it!

-The little boy that is preparing to be baptized continues to be awesome. We are just waiting now for the approval of his grandma, who said in April he can be baptized. It is a bit tricky with his family situation, but his aunt and sister who are members as well, are excited for him.

-Our investigator C returned to chruch again, with a new desire to learn and receive an answer. He has moving along with small and simple steps.

-And on Sunday Sister Gomez and I gave talks, and I also played the piano haha. It was a last minute thing, but I managed . And I said my goodbyes to the wonderful people of the ward!! There are so many great peole here, and I will miss them for sure. But, on to a new chapter!

Oh! and crazy about the new announcement that we can call every week! Super exciting, and will be weird at first haha. But wow!! way cool.

até proximo!

te amo,
