So this week was a blast. Last saturday we really enjoyed the conference, after the last session we were waiting for our investigatoor to come to the church for his baptism. we called him and he didn´t answer, we got really worried, but we waited patiently. 1 hour after he said he would be there we tried to call him again, but he didn´t answer, but when we turned around we saw him entering into the chapel. What a releif. It was a good baptism.
Sunday was very interesting. because it was conference all of the missionaries of the BH Stake were in the chapel. IT was really interesting to see all of the diferences in companionship between them. There were some duplas that were closer to each other than others. There were some that were having some problems, Between the sessions all of the missionaries needed to hit the streets and do contacts with everyone. It was prety cool to see the wave of missionaries hit the streets.
Monday was another busy day, we had a lot of things to still work out for mission Tour and whatnot, so we just worked at night in our area.
Tuesday was also an interesting day. We started the day off going to a zone meeting in BH Leste. (zone meeting is a meeting done by the zone leaders and we came by suprise) But it was interesting because when we got to the chapel we started to notice some strange things. Broken windows, broken doors, the bars to the stake presidents office were sawn off and there were drops of blood and footprints on the ground, it looked like a horror movie. Because we didn´t know if hte person was still there we left the chapel with all of the missionaries and decided to go to another chapel that was close. In all, the meeting was good and everyone was safe. IT seems like this is something that happens enough in that chapel so nobody was really too worried, there wasn´t anything to steal anyway. After the crazy meeting we did a division in Barroca BH Oeste. There were two missionaries that were having plenty of difficulties so we went to go "help them out" (or you could say, put them in line) There were a few things that needed adjusting to we went to make some adjustments. That is one big part of our jobs, we are the adjusters of things that need adjusting.
Wednesday we did some more adjusting. There was another dupla in the Palmeiras Ward that were also having some problems, and this guy is the district leader. We left our house at 5:45 in teh morning and got to their house at 6:15. We have the keys to all of the houses in the mission. We let ourselves in and waited to see if they were waking up at 6:30; well they were but the had a nice surprise to see the assistants in their bedroom. we had a nice talk with the DL to adjust some things and we made some goals with him. then we left at 8 and took another bus to do a division with the Zone Leaders of BH Oeste. One of them was called zone leader recently so we went to train him. We didn´t need to do any "adjusting" there because they are already exceptional missionaries.
Thursday to Sunday we are in Paraopeba and Caetanopolis, 2 small cities that are side by side. We are here in paraopeba to open the church to these cities. We have 1 active family here in the city that travel to Sete Lagoas to go to church. So now we are bringing the church to them. We are having a great time bringing the gospel to these people and its been a pretty cool experience. We excited the family enough because we printed a church plaque and put it on their house. I´ll send pictures next week about how it was. This sunday we will have the 1st church meeting here so its going to be a different experience. Its gonna be chique de mais!
Today was a special p-day. We had pday with president and sister fortunato. They took us and the secretaries to a famous cave nearby. I´ll send some cool pictures next week. After the cave we went to a really cool restaruante and had Picanha na chapa, and alot of it. Picanha is a high class type of beef that we don´t have in the states and it was on the iron plate thing sizzling hot. It was super good. we got back just a little bit ago.
So that is my week, there is stil so much to do and so little time to do it. i´m busy and i am happy. there isn´t time to think about coming home, i still have realized that it is so close, and i dont think i´ll even realized it when i get home. But thats the way it goes.
Well still so much to do today and so little time to do it.
Love you all
Elder Applegate
