I saw a TUCAN fly by us this week! This was the first one I
have seen and I have been waiting to see one this whole time. haha Everyone
here says that they are very common here but this was my first time after 4
months in Brazil was this week! haha It was pretty cool, very monumental moment
in my life.
As for missionary life, it is going real well! We are
finding a lot of people and talking to even more, but only few are real
receptive to us. Everyone lets us talk to them and visit them in their home,
but it’s really hard to let them know our message isn’t just another bible
study! We do have a few people that are really progressing and accepting
though!
We met a teenager this week that is probably about 6´6 and
is way cool! He is way intelligent and he loves the teachings of the church and
has really good thoughts about them.
Elder Kodama and I were thinking that he was at least 16 or 17, turns
out he is only 14! haha He is going places when he grows up! I offered to teach
him basketball but he said he´ll stick with soccer... haha so probably not the
NBA... His family is VERY active in another church but they are accepting to us
and are happy that he is attending church, so that good! He is a friend of a
less active teenager too so it’s a double win for us missionaries, we get to
help the both of them receive all the blessings of this gospel.

I think these next 2 weeks will be my last in Recanto Das
Emas. This is kind of sad to think about but also is exciting that I’ll get to
know more of Brasil! Tomorrow I have to play the piano for a special musical
number during an atividade (activity) at the church... so pray for me! I get so
nervous when I have to play in front of people...
The work is progressing, the sun is shining and Elder Clark
is always learning! I am so grateful for the Lord helping me with all my
weaknesses and blessing me continually! I love you all!
Até a próxima semana!
