Zone conference was this week! It was really great. I’m not sure exactly why, but we had 4 zones gathered together for our zone conference. We all met in the chapel of this one area - surrounded by buildings. The chapel was 5 stories high, no joke. I think I heard someone say that it is the Church’s tallest chapel in the world. Crazy. We had our meeting on the first floor, and then climbed up to the 5th floor for lunch. We were also very lucky because all 8 of us from our CTM district were in the 4 zones making up our zone conference, so that was cool to see all of them again. We learned a lot there and it was great to see everyone.
This week we were able to make a lot more contacts, and have been working really hard. These days are a lot easier when we are teaching lessons more often than we are just walking around trying to find people to teach. We were finally able to set baptismal dates with Glacianie and Elvis - who are both very firm. So, they will probably be baptized on November 9th!
This week also concluded my first transfer out in the field. Of our district of 6, 2 are leaving us. Elder Duque, our district leader is off to be a zone leader in Oeste and Elder Ball is off to Calcaia. Our district was really tight, so it is hard to say goodbye, but they are going to go do great things.
My time here in Brazil has been flying by, so I have been trying to take into practice the advice that says, “Treat every week of your mission like it is your last.”
Love,
Elder Perry
