Email From Elder Jones

Hello everyone.


This week has been pretty uneventful,other than just grinding portugese. Today we went to the temple in campinas its so pretty there! It's not in the middle of a city like the Sao Paulo one is so it really feels like I'm in Brazil. It feels so weird I feel like I'm not learning a ton of the language but then i talk with a native and actally understand them, which is pretty sick! 


This week I've solidified my spot as the shrimp chip king! Monday night before some of the elders left they gave me the stockpile of shrimp chips, it's amazing. 


Also I handed out my first book of mormon!!!!!!! Granted it was too my teacher but still it counts. 


I had my first experiance with the outside world, we were having class outside by the gate to the CTM, and out of no where some dude came right up to the gate saying stuff to us (of which I didn't understand a single word). Turned out he was just some drunk dude asking for water. Im guessing the reason i thought it was so cool was because the CTM here feels like a prison, we're never really allowed outside of the building. But I wouldn't change it I love being here!! 


Hope everyone is having an awesome week love you all, and so does God!!!!!!! 


Some fun pictures from this week (peep the Fanta guanana and my first contact.)

Hey everyone, sorry it's been a little while since the last time I wrote. It's been a crazy few weeks.  So I'm here in my new area still São João Del-Rei, I've been assigned to this area for 3 weeks now, but only have been here physically for 2. The first week was super hectic, but the past two weeks have been amazing! Last week after finding a member that's been inactive for a little while, he led us to a few teens that have already been to church a few times! They are super super cool, they love the gospel and going to church! We had them on date to get baptized for this past Sunday, but sadly their mom doesn't feel like they're old enough to make the decision on their own, yet. So we're trying to help the whole family now see the truthfulness of the gospel!  Also, we found this other guy, he was a referral through other missionaries, we've met with him only a few times because his life is super busy. Last time we meet with him was Saturday, we pla...

Transferência De Novo!!

E aí cachorro, como vai. What's up everyone!!! this week has been pretyy wild, let me explain... Tuesday (dia de cavalo)- every Tuesday we get home late in the day because we have to travel 2 hours from where our district meets for district meeting, so it's never a full day of missionary work. However, this Tuesday we got home especially late, at 1:00 and had to wait until 3 to eat lunch, so when we were finally ready to work it was already almost 5, a lot later than usual!! So all we did was a ton of street contacts.  We wanted to get to know an area of our city that we haven't seen yet, so we went for a walk on the freeway (you read that right, the FREEWAY!), which surprisingly had a bunch of people walking on it. There we met this guy named João.  We started out talking to him about his life, and he seemed pretty cool.  We then asked if we could share a message with him, and his response was right now no, I lost my horse, I need to find him. We thought that was a ...
