Hey yall, que tal, how we doing? So yeah, as most of you can probably imagine from the last email, things have been a little interesting here in Azul this week. For a variety of reasons, honestly, but mostly because of the emergency transfers.
Luckily my comp, Elder Senador (from Peru), is really chill AND very diligent, which is a rare combo. It's been pretty cool because we actually got to the mission at the same time, I actually sat next to him on the plane to Bahia, so we've been exchanging experiences and stories from the year we've been out, so it's been pretty fun.
Unluckily, the other area of Azul had to close down, which means that Elder Senador and I received it on top of the area we already have, which makes the area in total GINORMOUS. When we got all the points and friends from the other area added to our map, my brain basically checked put from the overstimulation for a moment. So, in short, we are walking a LOT now, trying to get to know all the people in Azul 2 while keeping up with everyone in Azul 1. It's quite the job, but I feel very useful doing it, so I don't mind.
So yeah, we honestly don't have a ton of progressing friends right now, mostly because I don't know the majority of them, but we have met a few that seem to have potential, so we'll cross our fingers and pray! We're always finding new people as well, I'd like to think I've basically perfected my doorstep approach at this point, doesn't mean we haven't had a few doors slammed though.
This week, we had our branch conference, which means we invited everyone we saw to come, and also means nobody showed up, but it's chill haha. We at least had a ton of members at the meeting, including a few lesser actives I had met, which was great to see. The meeting was also really focused on ministering and how we can help one another stay true to the gospel, which is always a much needed lesson, especially for the mission work. All the members are really animated to help us out with the work now, all ready to put in that work to become a ward soon! Now we just need to set up some good lessons.
Well, not too sure what else to talk about! We've got zone conference this week, which should be a lot of fun, I actually haven't been able to have an interview with Presidente Antuña yet, so I'm excited. The Zone Leaders also put out a challenge to try and memorize a bunch of the favorite scriptures in the zone to win a kilo of ice cream, so of course I am going pretty hard on that. But yeah, not too much else going on, so I'll drop it off here!
Hope yall have a great night, a great tomorrow, a great week! Remember you are very blessed and very loved!!
Ciao for now!
