This week was probably the best one yet! It was the last week of the transfer, and the last week that my companion and I are together. Tomorrow, he will be transfered, and I will stay here in Rio Pardo. I don´t know who my new companion will be, but I´m excited to meet him tomorrow.
Also, we baptized a young man named Josué, who said he will serve a mission. He is a total boss. He is already talking with the branch president about the temple, and what he needs to do to get there. We also had a wedding on saturday. EVERYONE IN BRASIL NEEDS TO BE MARRIED. NO ONE HERE IS MARRIED. But now that that couple is married, they can be baptized in the following weeks. It´s awesome.
A lot of times, it feels like the mission is like Plato´s allegory of the cave. We´re trying to wake these people up to the real world. To the real joy and happiness that they can have throught the gospel, but hardly anyone listens. They´re to content watching the shadows on the wall. You have no idea how many people have said, `I believe that your church is true, but I´ve been Catholic my entire life, I can´t change now.` It happens like every week. But there aren´t very many things better than when they do wake up, and realize there is something more. I´ve been so blessed to be able to help people come to a knowledge of the truth.
I gots to go!
Sincerely,
Elder Day
