It's official. I will be
serving my last transfer in Mossoró. I think they should switch the name
of my mission to Missão Mossoró because it's the only other city I've served in
aside from Sousa here in Brazil. I will be here for a total of over 9
months by the time my mission comes to an end. That's half of my
mission. The other half I spent in Murfreesboro, TN; Jamestown, TN; and
Sousa, Paraiba.
Sister Francis is going home
this week. She was getting really trunky by the end of the transfer,
which didn't help me all that much. And Sister M. Baker will be leaving
Urick Graff as well. I will be serving here with Sister Lopez, who has
about 7 months and I think is brasileira (which means that I am going to be the
only Sister Training Leader in our zone. YIKES!) and Sister Marcelino
(who will be dying with me in March) will be training a verdinha
(greenie).
I think it will help both of us
to have a greenie in our house to give us some greenie power. (I think she will
be an Americana, so we are going to have to help her brush up on her Portuguese.)

This week was a good
week. A couple of weeks ago we found a member's uncle drinking on the
side of the road with a bunch of other drunkards. When we introduced ourselves,
he told us that he was S.’s uncle. We just invited all of these men to
quit drinking for a few days and see how it was. (I won't lie, it was
just something we did without much hope).
Surprisingly, A. actually
stopped drinking and, after we went to check up on him at his house, he showed
up at church on Sunday. He hasn't drunk for two weeks now and is feeling
really good. He showed up at two family home evenings - one at his
neice's house and one at the Bishop's house on Monday and has agreed to be
baptized this Sunday.
Sister Francis was sad that she
won't be there, but Alexandre told her that he would send her photos of his
baptism (this was actually before we even invited him to be baptized - what an
amazing conversation starter!) I think it's safe to say we found a golden
investigator. I will definitely send Sister Francis photos next
P-Day. :)
Elder Dyer! Parabéns!!!
(Congratulations!!!) I was so excited for your first baptism! And I loved
the photos. There are a bunch of children of God being prepared for you
right now. Keep up the good work and you will have the opportunity to
help many more children of God enter the waters of baptism. I have one
more transfer left - vish! But I will have a fairly new companion and a
greenie in the house, which I hope will keep me untrunky. How was it
killing your Dad? Did your greenie power help him?
Love yall!
Love yall!
