It was a relatively slow week this week. We didn't have anything too crazy going on. We were able to do a lot of service for people though! We helped with two moves, some yard work, and other cleaning in the homes of some members. I have felt so blessed to be able to offer so much service to people. This has been a rare opportunity that I never really had in Brazil. Although the sweat and sore muscles hurt at the time, the fulfillment and satisfaction of the service is what really matters.
We also took some fire pictures by the temple! We met some members there before they gave us dinner at their house, so we took our time and got some photos!
We have been able to find quite a few people through English classes and soccer night lately. One other strategy that we have tried so far is going into local Brazilian markets and restaurants and trying to spark up conversations with people there. It is not always easy, but it has been a lot more productive and intimate than just teaching long and sometimes boring English classes. We have found some cool people, and already have several who are progressing as well. There really isn't any struggle in finding, but the real challenge is progressing the people we're teaching.
We also had our interviews with President Harris this week! He is so awesome. He gave plenty of great advice as to how we should be going about work in the branch and the goals I should be setting for myself as a missionary. I loved the experience and am looking forward to our zone conference this week.
I also was blessed with more inspiration in the form of another video! If any of you want to check it out, it is on my facebook page.
Love you all. The church is true and God is out there rooting for you.
Love
