"It's Futeból, Not Basquete Rapaz" - Irmã Renata

Quick week! Unfortunately not a whole lot to report about this week from my end. Did a lot of running around the city, a lot of teaching, and ended up finding out that almost everyone didn't want anything. Wait! That's not a great way to start this off. We did see a miracle or two. Na verdade, they were actually some pretty incredible miracles! First of all, we are teaching a man named Raimundo Nonato. He doesn't live in Tutóia proper, but about 20 minutes out of town by car. He works in construction here in the city and we ran into him while talking to a couple of rapazes in an alleyway.  The rapazes didn't want much of anything, but Nonato stuck around in the background listening our conversation. We started talking to him, learned more about his life, and now he wants to be baptized next week! He sent us some messages over the weekend (as teaching in-person is almost impossible) saying that friends of his had offered alcohol or tried to plan outings during he church ...

Hello all, What another good, solid, quick, week! Got to see someone miracles and won't be able to do them much justice in the short email I'm about about write. We were able to help help folks be baptized this past week: Eduardo and Thâmily. Eduardo we had met while walking down the street. We felt like we needed to invite him to church the next day. We accepted, we went, we shared a lesson with him last week, and he accepted a baptismal date for yesterday! He's excited to keep progressing and we're excited for him! Thâmily is the aunt of Joelison, the rapaz we baptized a couple of months back. While doing divisions she became friends with our ZL because of their shared love of anime, so he was able to video call us and participate in the baptismal service! Eduardo is a TikTok fan, so I decided to throw one of the videos he made of us down below. I've also decided to cook a little bit more, so I made some cabbage rolls and chocolate chip cookies last P-Day (thanks ...

H ey all, I don't have a ton of time today, but it's been awhile since I've written anything for you guys,  do if figure I'd try to get something out this week. First image:  Sisteres in my district called me saying that omething horrible had happened and that I needed to put the Zone leaders in the call. Turned out they just wanted to surprise us with pics from the first baptism they've had in a while, but these were our faces as those pictures were loading and we didn't know what they would be. Second image: We had divisões in our area with one of the Zone leaders and happened to be invited over to a recent-convert's house for dinner that same night  Video: walking down the street we saw this. Don't know what more I can add. My new comp is Elder Adames, a newbie from Venezuela that I will be able to train for the next few weeks! We're excited, working hard, and hoping to see a lot of miracles in in next little while. Thank for your emails, thoughts...
