Jay Family Missionaries

Querida família,

 

This was a really busy week. The following is the story of my travels:

 

Monday at 11:40 pm we took a bus to João Pessoa and got there at 5:30 am and then we had the zone leader council. The only good things about going to the Zon leader counsel are that you get to see your mission buddies and here all the stories, and you get to eat in President Hall's house. Sister Hall made chicken enchiladas and other mexican food that was really good, and açai.

 

Tuesday at 5:00 pm we took a bus from João Pessoa back to Sousa and Got here at 1:00 am Wednesday, but this time we had boxes full of copies of the Book of Mormon and pamphlets and packages that we took home. At 2:00 am we called the district leaders just to wake them up and yell "BAPTISM!"

 

Wednesday we stayed here in Sousa and visited some people. I don't remember Wednesday very well.

 

Thursday morning we got in a van and went to Pau dos Ferros where they opened a new group and visited some people in a little town of 500 inhabitants. For some reason they are holding the meetings in this little town instead of in the city, but next week they will move to the city. We slept there in the little city, in the house that used to be used as a butcher shop, but now the cleaned it out. It is a lot better that way, no more dead pigs hanging from the cieling:)

 

Friday we got up at 3:30 am to go to the city and take the van back to Sousa. We ate lunch here then we went to Cajazeiras to do some baptismal interviews and an exchange. I stayed in Cajazeirs and Elder Rolim came back to Sousa.

 

Saturday I came back to Sousa and we ended the exchange, ate lunch then we went to Pombal to do another interview. We got back to Sousa and interviewed a family that the sisters are teaching. I interviewed the husband and it was a very good experience, we both felt the spirit very strongly. Finally went to visit our investigators to remind them about church.

 

Sunday morning we went to and Edjailton(future stake president) e Karol's house and the gave us buchada. Buchada is a ram's stomach filled with his intestines and who knows what else. You fill up the stomach, sow it shut and cook it. It was actually pretty good. Then we went to church and the meetings were actually really good this week. The second couselor of the mission came and gave a talk about being positive and Elder Petrie(the couple missionary) talked about temples. After church we went to the baptism of the sister's family, then left do visit. At night we were hungry, it was Sunday so we couldn't buy anything and we were broke anyway so we went to  a member 's hous the mom made some food for us. then we came home and slept.

 

Gotta go
