Well its been a wonderful week here in the fabulous Brazil! Lets start with some updates. BRASIL WON the confederations Cup!! I know that you have no idea what that is so ill explain. They pick the best teams from each continent and have a tourneyment to prepare and predict how the world cup will be next year! BRASIL WON! wahooo. The whole country is happy. The championship game was last night and it was impossible to work. People called us crazy for being out in the road which was true cause all the shops were closed and in one hour we saw 7 people on the road. We had a meeting with the Ward Mission Leader than just went home. It was impossible to work!
Other news. Brasil is revolting against the country. Its a historic event because people are finally starting to take a stand on the high taxes and all the government stealing their money. Because of this, there are like weekly strikes, Weekly riots, and Brazil shuts down completely. So the next strike will be on the 11th. haha.
Well now Ill get back to talking about the missionary work here. I just got transferred. Its an awesome area with LOTS of sucess. On the 15th, two of our investigators are getting married and they will be baptised on the 20th. Im really excited. My companion and I have plans to baptise alot more than just them though! The ward here is really strong. Its really missionary based and has had lots of baptisms lately. im excited to keep that up!
Saturday we went to the temple. it was a really nice experience like usual. We got to do a session and see two sealings of a family that my companion baptised. It was very special. I liked when i saw a 4 year old girl and her 9 month old brother get sealed to her parents. The spirit was really strong.
Well I know that this is a really short letter but I gotta go. Today is gonna be a fun P-Day!
Love you all,
Elder Horst
