P-Day!!!
We got up. Cleaned part of our house. Had lunch at a restaurant (Oooh
fancy) then we bought food for the week then went home and got ready to
leave. It was a very productive P-Day. But it was nice to get back to
work after 3 days of being in Bagé. After that we visited the man whose
name is Rock and he told us that he really wants to stop smoking and
drinking so we are super excited to work with him on that. His brother
is one of those people who doesnt want to change and is trying to stop
him from changing too.

Today
was rough. We planned everything down to the minute and literally
everything fell through. Not one person was at home. And we also found
out that one of our members moved away randomly to work on an apple
farm. Welcome to Brasil. I love it here. So to sum up, our day resulted
in a lot of walking around and trying to contact people. But tomorrow
will be better.
Wednesday (March 20th, 2019)
Today was rough. Literally everything fell through again so we did even more contacts.
Thursday (March 21st, 2019)
That
is three days in a row that things have kept falling through. I know
that we are trying our hardest and that is all you can do. On the bright
side, we have perfected doing contacts and stopping people in the
road.

Today
we had another branch activity and it was great! We did a giant game of
charades and there were 4 investigators there! Everyone is having a lot
of fun at the activities and we are having more and more people there
every time. It is really bringing the branch together and we really
needed something like that after the past couple of days that we have
had. As we were walking home there were some kids that through rocks at
us.

Today
we invited everyone to church and we had a ton of miracles. We had a
couple of people in the road say that they would go to church which
hardly every happens. We are super excited for people to come tomorrow.
Sunday (March 24th, 2019)
We
had 2 major miracles today. One was that a less active came to church
out of nowhere and everyone has been trying to reactivate him for a
while now. The other was that a 12 year old girl who lives an hour away
came to church all by herself. It was amazing!!! I love seeing the
little miracles that can happen. The week was rough but it was a great
reminder to look for the little things and see the tender mercies in our
lives.
Random Thought:
- We met a pastor who cant read. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?!?! He is quoting Bible scriptures when he has never even read the Bible! Um what?
Anyway. Im running out of time but I love you all! Have the best week ever!
Love,
Elder Allen
