Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a great Christmas!!! Mine was awesome, I
got to Skype my family. That was definitely the highlight of my week. But it
was definitely the craziest Christmas of my life! So after dinner, we were
walking to a members house, and we saw a dog get hit by a motorcycle. It was
really gross. Then when we were walking home a couple hours later, my companion
got hit by a car!!!! It was so crazy! The guy was drunk and he wasn't even
watching where he was going. We were walking the side of the road, and all of
the sudden I heard a car that sounded like it was really close, and I looked
back and BOOM! Elder Vecchio got hit from behind. He is okay and isn't hurt too
bad, he just has a bruised hip and a few scratches. It all happened really
fast. Elder Vecchio is a champ though, he was in the hospital last week, and
got hit by a car on Christmas, haha it's crazy.
Anyways, it has been a great week. Our investigator didn't
end up getting baptized but we are working on it. We worked hard this week and
made tons of contacts, so we have like 15 new investigators to teach this week.
We set a date with one of our investigators Sonaira, she is 14. She will get
baptized for sure! She really really wants to join the church and she has a lot
of friends in the church, but we just have to get her mom to let her. We will
be praying and fasting for it to all work out. But Sonaira is such a great girl
we are very excited for her! Her date is January 12 so we will work with her
this week! :)
Brazil is really crazy, I love it. It has been really hot
this week and it has rained a lot. I don't care for the rain too much but its
all good! I ate Capivara (capybara) the other day. If you don't know what
Capivara is, it is pretty much a really big rodent that tastes like pork. I
thought it was pork when they fed it to us, but I found out afterwards what I
was actually eating. haha. What you don't know doesn't hurt you, right?!
Anyways, things are going really well here, Brazil is
awesome, the people here are awesome, the food is awesome, I love it haha. The
language is coming along but it is still really frustrating at times. I'll
get it down eventually!
Well all, I hope you have a wonderful new year!!! I love and
miss you!
Falou,
Elder Kyle Payne
