This last week we had transfers! Not gonna lie, I'm feeling like everything got turned upside down haha. I got transferred to São José da Coroa Grande! It's the furthest south that you can get in the mission, close to Alagoas, our neighboring state. My companion is Elder Dias, and he's the best! He's from my CTM group, so we have the same amount of time on the mission. He's from Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerias, and his parents are serving as Mission President and Wife in Mozambique, Africa. He likes to work hard and we keep each other in line!
Because we are still Zone Leaders and our area is so far away from everything, the next few weeks are going to be complicated. We're going to travel to Boa Viagem for MLC, Zone conference, exchanges, etc.. Needless to say, I'm learning how to plan a lot better haha.
This week had a huge miracle!! Most of the people we found this week didn't wind up coming to church. Our area is right on the beach and almost everyone goes Sunday morning. But Saturday night there were some teenagers hanging out right outside the chapel, and we went to talk to them. We invited them to come to church the following day, and afterwards I completely forgot all about them haha.
Sunday morning rolled around and we were kinda bummed because no one came. But, before the meeting started, 3 "members" showed up, knelt in thr chapel and started to pray. They were all dressed up and everything. Come to find out, they were the kids we met the day before! They had a wonderful experience and they already started to read the Book of Mormon. I felt very blessed after a week of hard work. I was so happy it worked out!
I hope you all have a great week!
