Querida familia,
This week we had transfers. I don't have much time to write this week so I will be fast.
On Saturday we baptized a really special family, Juvenilton and Janaina. I think they are some of the best baptisms since the church arrived in Sousa. They both graduated from college, have good jobs, have a car and are really inteligent. The Church needs leaders in Sousa. The other family Edjailton and Ana Carolina will get married on the 8th and be baptized on the 10th. Juvenilton will be the patriarch some day and Edjailton will be the stake president. I'm sad that I left before their baptism and that I won't be able to stay a little longer to help them get started as members.
On Sunday we baptized another lady, Miriam. She is super elect as well. She passed 7 and a half years in the Jehovah's Witness and already went to lots of other churches, but never felt the Spirit until she went to the true church.
I was transfered from Sousa to Natal. It is a pretty long journey. I got a bus at 7:40am in Sousa and got here in Natal around 8:30pm. I travelled alone the whole time and didn't see another missionary until I got here in Natal and waited in the bus station for about 15 minutes. My companion came with the stake president and they gave me a ride to our apartment. The stake president's daughter was Mia Well's companion until, small world.
My new companion is Elder Machado da Silva. They divided a zone and we are opening the new zone called Zona Ponta Negra. My area is Cidade Verde. It is really different from Sousa because the wards are strong, there are families that have been in the Church for generations, and it is a rich area with lots of apartments.
There is a guy at my side watching porn so I am going to leave.
Until next week.
Elder Jay
