Updates!!

Hello!! How are yall doing?? I hope that no one freaked out because of my one week absence. I am in fact, still alive and still a missionary and still in Brasil. But we have some news!

News:
  • I have been transfered from Obelisco, after 6 months there I have a new area!
  • I was transfered to the tiny city of Caçapava do Sul. It is a branch here and we meet in a rented house.
  • The only area of Obelisco Sul where I was has been closed and now Elder Inacio is taking care of both areas. 
  • I have received a new calling!! I have been called to be District Leader here!
  • Our District consists of Me (Elder Allen, in case you forgot) Elder Jolley, Sister Spencer, Sister Altamirano and two completely new Sisters, Sister Ucharico and Sister Muniz. 

Benefits of Caçapava:
  • It is much safer than the last area!
  • Everything is really close to our house.
  • Our house is really nice! It has a faucet that works!
  • The people are receptive and have only yelled at me once.
  • The açai is really good.
  • Elder Jolley is hilarious! He is 6ft 3in and built like a tank. He is huge.
  • We have had a ton of spiritual experiences already.
  • It is really pretty here!

Downsides to Caçapava:
  • They members read general conference talks for their talks.
  • No one knows how to play piano.
  • A member was listening to the Evangelic Radio which was talking about Reincarnation and I asked him why and he said he liked background noise. Well I think that Taylor Swift is a better option for background noise. But thats just me.
  • A ward member put his name down to give us lunch and then we showed up at his house and he said he never put his name down. Thats really awkard. 
  • There are a lot of hills. 

I love yall so much!! Thank you for your prayers and for helping The Savior in His work!

Mosiah 18:21

Love,
Elder Allen
