Well thaank heavens that Summer is over! That was the most dramatic summer ever!!! Man it was super hot. We actually had a bit of a cold front come in at the night and ive never been so blessed! I actually got a cold from having the fan on at night but it was worth it for the good sleep!! Usually its cold in the morning and night but gets pretty hot in the day.
This week was pretty normal for the most part. Elder Snow and I worked hard to help the zone including a training that we did on Wednesday. The training was really cool and we were able to talk about having a new visiion and doing just a little bit more than before. I was really pleased with it all. We told them to forget their old habbits and old opinions and just start over with alot more faith! The missionaries really liked it and we can tell that some of them really took it to the heart and wanted to do better.
So we had a baptism on Saturday!!! kinda... It was a really weird situation. So Daniel has been coming to church with his aunt for the last few weeks. We have been teaching him and he has made some amazing progress and it was just a miracle to see him have the desire to be better. Well he was baptised on Saturday! THe only problem is that he lived right outside our area. We tried our best convincing everyone to let him be baptised in the ward because that is where he felt comfortable! We convinced everyone including the Mission and Stake President, but we couldnt convince the bishop. So unfortunitally he was baptised in another ward and it wasnt our baptism in the end. But I feel like we did the best to help him and I was honored to baptise him. It was a really special baptism for me and I could see the happiness on his face. It was sad that we couldnt baptise him in our ward but it was a very good spiritual moment.
Well thats about it! Today my companion is going to buy a new suit and I will buy a carry on for the plane ride home. Have a great week!
Elder Horst
This is in Pelotas, Nilo Wulff area, that he left a few weeks ago.
Elder Horst says that these two particular sisters are very hard working and a wonderful addition to the zone. They are in the same ward as Elder Horst and Elder Snow.
The sisters made Elder Horst a lime pie and I guess he felt compelled to eat the whole thing!
Nice, I guess this one is especially for Mom :)
This is at a bus station in Cangocu, a predominantly German city, in the middle of nowhere.
It's mentioned in the last email.
On the bus returning to Pelotas.
Elder Horst's birthday, March 15.
The sisters and their investigator, Daniel.
Elder Horst said that he cooked dinner for this group.
Hard to believe, I didn't know he could cook! Ha ha!!!
I guess it rained a lot!
I asked him why he was standing in the water and he said he was knocking on doors.
They sat down to rest and all the children crowded around them :)
Daniel's baptism, with Elder Horst and Elder Snow.
A really nice couple in the ward.
Making cinnamon rolls.
The bus looks nice.
