Parelheiros!

I don´t have much to say this week, but it was a really good one! I got transferred to Parelheiros. It is way more jungle here--like the landscape--but still favela. Super green and right now it is way cold. August is the coldest month here. It is just really humid and cold.

My companion is Sister Soares da Silva. She is from Fortaleza, and she is 20. She is a hard worker and teaches really well, so I am learning a ton from her already.

We live with 2 other sisters: Sister Rodriguez and Sister Kaegi too --->
(S. Rodriguez, Kaegi, me, Soares da Silva)

This week we taught a bunch of part-member families. One recent convert brought her husband and sister to church yesterday, so we will continue to teach them. Last night, we taught Danilo(15)´s mom. We invited her to church and to learn more because she vented about how she went to church for 5 hours that day and didn´t feel the Spirit. She doesn´t want to go back because she went to church ``cold`` and left ``cold.`` We´ll see what happens there. We taught the Plan of Salvation and Temples and Family History work a lot to less active and  part member families this week. A couple times the spirit was super strong and they were really excited to go to the temple.

Yesterday we had an interesting encounter with a Jehovah´s Witness. He kept on having us look up scripture references, but it was all over the place so we just got confused. I realized that I probably confuse people like that at times, so I want to work on being more clear. It was interesting to hear him out. We gave him 2 pamphlets because he kept on asking about our doctrine. Maybe something will come of that.

Love you!
