New Transfer!!!

Hey all!!

Its been a few weeks since I last sent out an email, but I'm doing really well! The biggest news is that i have been Transferred to a new area which includes Marcos Freire and Muribeca. I left behind a few families who were really progressing but I know that they're in good hands. And I showed up here to find a lot of amazing people to teach! Our biggest challenge right now us staying organized enough to help everyone who is progressing. A big part of this problem is that our area is so big that it can be a little complicated to plan well enough that we aren't waiting time walking all day lol.

Last week was Carnival here in Brazil, but because of the pandemic, nothing to crazy happened. There were a lot of people partying and the such but it was always in there houses or just in the front of their houses, so it never interfered with our work

This week we actually had a baptism! Rafael was baptized on Saturday and this week he is working in receiving the priesthood and getting things organized so he can go to the temple. I know i just showed up here, but like always I am so impressed by the miraculous change that occurs in people's lives when they choose to follow the example of the Savior and be baptized. And next week we have Maria Silva who is preparing to be baptized so we have tons of work to do!

I'm really loving this area and my new companion Elder Lima. We get along great and i am super excited for this transfer with him. Like i already said, this is a pretty huge area, and its farther away from the city so its a lot more dirt roads and the likes. But I'm loving it. 

Speaking of the dirt roads, this week all of the extra rain has turned them more into mud roads, and in some cases more rivers lol. But the rain doesn't bother me. Just slows us down a bit sometimes. But ill attach some pictures to show you guys.

Other than that, I'm really focusing on getting to know this new area and to be able to work more effectively here. Every day is a new adventure and I'm super grateful for the chance to be here.

I hope you are all doing well, and have a great week! If any of you have questions or other things I can write about in these emails, let me know!
