Week 23, 5 Minutes in Brazil 2/22/16


Hej allihoppa! 

Just wanted to give you all a quick update on how things are going here! 

First of all, Richard came to church!!! It's been hard to get a hold of him because he's been moving around all over but he says he's finally landed a job...in Helsingborg! So it looks like we'll get to baptize him! He enjoyed church and we committed him to live the Word of Wisdom (even though he smokes and drinks coffee, pray for him!). His new baptismal date is the 12th of March. He is my favorite now! Haha very very exciting. Very funny man, speaks Twi and Italian actually. That's the thing with Sweden, everyone here speaks at least 3 languages. You're boring if you only speak 2. You're American if you only speak 1. But yeah! That was EXCELLENT and we are so excited for him! And hope he sticks around in Helsingborg for a while. 

Anyways, Back to the title of this email. we also met this amazing Brazilian woman! She totally let us talk all about the Book of Mormon and even said she'd come to church as well! It was by far the most positive contact I've had on my mission. Elder Nielsen and I walked away SO STOKED! And then got actually pretty annoyed at missionaries who have these kinds of contacts all the time, haha. Well see what comes out of her! We haven't set a solid time to meet yet but hopefully soon. 




Jose actually blåsted us this week....darn it Jose!

The work is moving forward! Crazy how this transfer is almost done already! 

Oh, we also went laser tagging this morning with the missionaries from Lund and our district! It was super fun! Mostly I just ran up to the other Elders and put my hand in front of their guns and shot them. Very cool! 


The pictures here are of 
1. Me and Leo a Chinese man in our ward who's leaving! 😢 He's going back to Shanghai but he is super funny! 

2. A picture Zoey drew for me, she's a little girl in our ward about 4 years old! I'll have a picture of her next week hopefully.
3. It was my companions birthday this week! We had lunch with these lovely ladies. They made us princess Torta and were hilarious the whole time. 
4. Laser tag group.
