These last two weeks went really well. The new Venezuelan family arrived well and they are really excited to start their new life here. We have helped them know the city a little and showed them how to get to the church and the center of the city. They have been learning portugues quickly and have been able to make comments during our church meetings, so that is really good. The weather is a bit crazy here, so it gets hot, and then cools down, then rains all over again, so we have been taking quite a few flu medications haha. Elder Leonard did hev to make a trip to the hospital but it wasn't that serious so we can keep working. haha. We have been working quite a bit to try to receive more referrals from the members and we were able to teach the mom and sister of a recent convert, Pablo. He is preparing to serve a mission to and has already sent his papers so we are pretty excited for him. His family is really nice and they always get pretty emocioned during the lessons. We have already taught them the Restoration, Plan of Salvation, and the word of wisdom. They also have accepted baptismal dates! They are excited to learn more, even though there have been lots of missionaries that have tried to teach them,but never had much luck. We are super happy for them and excited for them to join the church and become a better support group for Pablo, for when he leaves on his mission. We also had a mission tour this last week with Elder Parrela, who is in the area presidency. It was really good to get trained more on the importance of constantly finding and teaching people. Not just keep teaching the same people hoping that they will change, but always finding and teaching the most people as possible. These last few weeks have flown by, but they were filled with great experiences. i´m so happy to be here and always learn a little more each day about the atonement and God's plan for me. Thank you guys so much for your support! I hope everyone has a good week!
