This week was awesome, we ended the transfer with success! We had a baptism of one the boys we are teaching from the group of friends of one member kid. He was very determined to be baptized, he woke up sick that day with fever and a sore throght on the day of his baptism date and he said "I can do it, lets go!" And because of the fever he was feeling really cold and had a blanket wrapped around him all day but for the baptism when he entered into the water he started to freak out a little because the water was cold and the anticipation to enter completly into the water was a little nerve wracking for him, but he went through with it and it was great! It was special because I got to do the ordenace as well as the confirmation, which was the first confirmation I had done ever and it was good, he was embarassed to be in the front of everyone and then it was over he ran down fromt he front. He's a silly kid but I've come to like him a lot, he's comitted, he bought slacks, shirt, tie, and shoes before his baptism to have something nice to wear at church.
As every wednesday now, we have an activity where we teach a lesson with the boys in the church and after they play futebol (soccer), and they love playing so they sit for the lesson in anticipation to play. It ha been really great for them to get to know the church and such.
Tomorrow is transfer and I will be staying in "Senhor Do Bonfim" with Elder Cueto still, we are super excited to keep working with the investigators that we have. President changed the zones in our area so which means he's preparing to send more missionaries here to help with the area of our district because its a really good area. Our district literally became a zone all by itself but its really small with 3 companionships; one area is zone leader and the other two areas are district leaders. Its strange because one district is 4 missionaries and the other just has 2! But I think this is in preperation for more missionaries, setting up the leadership beforehand. But my companion is now district leader and I'm still a junior (for 1 year straight😅) Its all good and I'm excited to see how it all works out.
