Bom dia! But not from Brazil still....
Anyway this week has been a little slow work wise. We've been trying to get in contact with all the referrals that we get but everyone always says "Oh, we're busy. Maybe some other time" so we're gonna have to start letting some people go sadly. We all also need to shift our focus back to a 20 conversations a day goal that Elder Ballard left with us not too long ago. I think if we spend more time finding things will go better. It's just a bit harder YSA, looking for people in such a specific age group.
A quick shout out to my Rendando 2nd friends! We got to go back to the are for a bit and help Elder Lui get his side bag/bike/whatever else to his new area and it was awesome to see you all again!
To Nina and her family: We'll hopefully be back sooner than later, good to see you all again!
To the Sizemores: Thanks for all the help with Elder Lui, I would say we can come over again but you two aren't exactly young or single, haha
So I have some earth shattering news everyone.... Elder Teela now knows how to make pie! Go ahead and read that sentence again, I'll wait..... Did you? Because it's true. We went over and helped an old widow make them for a social that was held at her house.
She has all the knowledge to do it but with out us she said it would have taken all day, so we were glad to help. We made chocolate, banana cream, lemon marang and good ole apple. It was all going great and fun and then her 21 year old granddaughter walked out in nothing but a towel and it got awkward real fast, haha. She just hauled right out of the room so it was all good but we had a good laugh of it. Everyone was pretty surprised we made them to be honest but apperently they turned out good. Maybe she saved a bit and we'll be able to try some Thursday when we have lunch with her. I'm attaching photo evidence.
Like I said it was a pretty slow week so that's really all we have to report on... So I'll share a cool lesson I learned Sunday from gospel principles. The topic was work but somehow we got around to the idea if you are an owner or a servant. If you are here to be an owner you will own a car and a house and you will want to own everything you can. You will seek riches and the things of the world purely because you love having them. But a servant will get all these things and use them not only to improve his own life, but the lives of others as well. You will have these things to serve God and your fellow man, just like Jacob tells us in Jacob 1:19. Seek to serve, not self-service and the Lord will make you great like Solomon. Just don't go and get 1000's of wives and worship idols like he did.
Well, that's all for now folks. I'll write again (like always) next week! God bless you all!
