This week was full of walking and teaching. I've never walked so much in my life. Because we showed up here with next to no investigators, our teaching pool was kind of small, but this week we put in a lot of work and were blessed with 27 new investigators! We have 2 with baptismal dates set that are solid, and several more people that are progressing, but for the most part we just teach the first lesson, the restoration. We've never knocked doors/ tracked, it has been all old investigators or random people that we talk to. Well, I guess not random, they've been prepared to hear the gospel!
The other set of missionaries that live with us are the zone leaders, Elders Hendrixson and Almeida. They cover the west half of the city and we have the east.
This week was my first testimony meeting in Brazil! It was pretty similar to testimony meeting in the states, except for it was all in Portuguese. And I bore my testimony in Portuguese! I hope they understood any of it! For the most part, I can follow a conversation, but I feel like a caveman whenever I speak. But I attempt to speak anyways, and for the most part people understand. As always Elder Ahmed has been helping a lot. I'll try to send pictures again, but no guarantees. For sure next week though.
I didn't get the package or letters yet because nobody has been out to Sao Paulo yet, because it's a 3+ hr bus ride. But the Zone Leaders are going out on the 4th this week so I should get it then.
Love you lots!
Elder Carr
