This week was better. We found a lot of people with a ton of potential as we started moving outside of the little zone we were using. Unfortunately none came to church with us. Only George! We are really excited and he will be baptized this Saturday. Every time that we teach him, he tells us how he is just feeling more and more excited to be baptized, so this week will be focused on helping him to be baptized.
Other than that, this week was just a big race. We had Zone Conference, and it was really good. President Houseman spoke about how we need to be his little mosquitoes, and seek out and teach people with the faith and persistence of mosquitoes. It is a really good analogy.
Elder Gomes and I woke up early almost every day this week to run. We run to the beach, and follow the beach for a little, and return. It is such a cool feeling to be so close to a beach. I think I included some pictures.
Also today, when we were coming to the lan house, we stopped to take a picture next to a gate that is really funny. It says, "Careful, Angry Dog" in Portuguese, and has a dog smiling. It is so funny!
We got our Elders Quorum presidency set in place yesterday. They all seem pretty good, and they really were emphasizing that they are the men to go to if someone needs help, and that the Bishop is just for worthiness issues. Thought that was interesting, they called him the second bishop.
I hope that you are all doing great, and have a good week this week.
Elder Nielson
