So
last week I sent an email in portuguese because I didn't want to have to think
translating my email for you all. haha I hope google translate served well. Just
in case people didn't understand. I HAVE A NEW COMPANION Elder da Silva. He is
from Minas Dirise, a state that is close to SP. He served in the Brazilian army
for two years. When I asked him if he ever had to kill anyone he said that he's
shot many people but he doesn't know if they ended up dying. haha Kind of scary,
nah? But he's really cool. He's getting ready to end his mission here in a little
bit. He has 1 year and 7 months so. He is very experienced. I'm very grateful that
we had an emergency transfer and that he ended up with me in my area. Just in
case anyone doesn't know, I'm in the ward /guarapiranga, stake Guarapiranga. My
area has a lot of apartments and is the more wealthy park of the stake. But
with that being said its still in the middle of the ghetto!!!
tTis
week we were teaching the brother of a young man that we recently baptized. His
dad arrived at their house and for a moment this kid (Igor) was kind of scared.
Saying "oh no its my dad!" I had already seen his dad before but the
only thing that he had ever said to me was good morning, good afternoon, and
good night. But out of no where this man looked at us and completely opened up
to us. His name is José Luis. He is super duper ready for the gospel in his
life!!!! We are working to baptize him, his wife and his son, Igor. With their
baptism this Sunday it will be a whole family that I, ME ANDREW HUNTER BARNARD
helped get baptized!!! I'm not going to count my chickens before they hatch but
with their baptism this weekend, I'll be able to go to the temple with them next
year to witness their sealing!!!! Super happy about them!!
This
week a few times we had to make our own lunch in our house. It is nice to have
a companion who knows how to cook with you because with two people cooking
things are easier and the food is better!!
