March 5, 2018 "supplemental" letter -- Salvador

sorry i forgot to write you guys an email i got caught up in the rush of the mission and some sweet p day activities lol.

tuesday we had a normal day in the office and taught a cool grandma/granddaughter duo who we contacted the week before. we taught them a nice lesson about the restoration and invited them to go to church but they already had other plans so we will get them this week!

wednesday we had a zone meeting and recieve some training about finalizing our baptisms so they dont fall thru at the last minute. the week of baptism can be extrememly stressful sometimes so its always good to practice and remind ourselves of how to handle squirmy investigators. I also finished making some cards for recent converts that president likes to send out. we had a cool lesson with clara and cailani about the plan of salvation but they seem pretty "mole" or soft (dont really care) so we might cut them from our group soon.

thursday we went and spent the morning at a chapel helping some tech people do a practice transmission so that everything goes smoothly on the day Elder Bednar comes and it went well. i got to stand in front of the pulpit and just talk for like an hour to make sure the sound was working on the transmision. it also rained super hard on our 15 minute walk to the chapel so we got soaked. we had a way cool lesson that came out of a contact with a 10 year old on the street and we ended up teaching a group of family and friends of over 10 people from the steps in front of their house. i kinda felt like a preacher hahha. 

friday we had a busy morning in the office but we got to go to our area to work in the afternoon and it was nice productive day. nothing too special or out of the ordinary.

saturday we went to see the lighthouse in itapuã and ate lunch at president barbosas house (pres bangerters 1st counselhor) nothing better than rice and beans

sunday we went to get our investigators before church and sadly enough we came up empty handed. people who had commited to be there firmly were still sleepy or just didnt want to go anymore so we kinda hung our heads back to the chapel and thru sacrament meeting until we turned around right before the meeting ended and saw that the family who did FHE with us last week had brought their neighbor who we thought wasnt coming!! Raziel is an awesome kid and we had a nice lesson with him later in the afternoon.
