Hey everybody! Whats going on? Are you guys excited for thanksgiving??
Haha I'm not gonna mind missing Thanksgiving dinner as much as other
people would, but I definitely am going to miss pumpkin pie. Hows
school/work going? The first week of this is
new transfer has been a pretty good one! I got to meet my new
companion on Wednesday, his name is Elder Fernandes and he is from the
interior of Sao Paulo. He´s a cool guy, and hes always super happy.
Haha he is always just making jokes, singing songs in English or just laughing about something as we are walking which is
good because it helps us stay excited even when its been a long day. Its
been good having a companion that doesn't speak English. Its definitely
a lot harder to express yourself well, but
now I am realizing a ton of important words that I don't know and I have
been jotting them down in my notebook and then I can look for the
translation in my dictionary afterwards. I'm sure that if I work hard, I'm
going to improve more with the language this
transfer than I did the first couple of transfers. Also being with a
companion that doesn't know the area is quite a bit different. I wasn't
used to deciding where we should go and leading the way before, but
really its not that hard. Vera Cruz is a pretty
small city so I feel comfortable being able to get to all of our
members and investigators' houses and that kind of stuff. So it sounds
like Melissa got transferred, wow that's pretty crazy. Is she liking the
new area??
This last week we focused on visiting all of the investigators that we
have already been visiting for a while to introduce them to Elder
Fernandes, but we did end up meeting and teaching a new investigator
that seems really cool. Her name is Tatiani and
she is the neighbor and really good friend of Marilene. Marilene had
been talking a lot about the church to Tati and she was really
interested and asked for us to come by and visit her. The visit was
really good and she came to church the next day and really
liked it! She said that she wants to keep coming so we are really
excited about her and hope that she keeps progressing. But the work
here is continuing going great here in Vera Cruz. Like I said we still
have a lot of investigators and we are trying really
hard to keep our little branch growing.
Well everything is well here! Thanks for all the emails and
support!! I miss you all and am always praying for you guys! Have an
awesome thanksgiving and eat a lot!! Oh and elder Fernandes wanted me to
tell you guys this joke... What happens when you
mix a cow and a smurf? You get blue cheese! Haha what a character.
But anyways see ya guys later! Tchau thau
Elder Gee
