Happy Memorial Day to you and P-day to me:
This week was a good one, well at least an enjoyable one. We weren’t able to baptize anyone (the person who we were planning on baptizing had to work Saturday and Sunday, so it didn’t work out) and Elder A. got kind of sick this week, so we weren’t able to work as much as we wanted to but we did a great deal of talking and laughing. And although my time here with A. will be a short one, as with many other transfers and companions, it will be a memorable one.
This is the last week of the transfer, and President Wright came to our area to watch the stake conference (with Elder Ribeiro from the Seventy), so he was able to tell us a little bit about what will happen next transfer. Elder A. is going to be transferred and Rio Branco will be split, so there will be four missionaries living in the house here next transfer. It seems like just when I’m getting comfortable things always change. I’m really going to miss Elder A., who is probably the best missionary that I have ever met. I have learned a lot from him and I plan on perpetuating our friendship through the eternities.
Stake conference here was super good. Elder Ribeiro is a great speaker, and although he spoke for more than an hour, he held our attention through all of it. He told lots of great stories and invited everyone in the stake to help accelerate the missionary work. I really enjoyed the conference.
Honestly, I don’t really have much more to say. Other than that a kid who threw a rock at us when we asked him if he wanted to be baptized like Jesus was, the week was rather normal. It is starting to get colder though, and I fear that the Brazilian winter won’t let me get off so easily.
I love you and I hope you enjoy the warm weather because I’ll be freezing my buns off in about a month.
Love,
Elder Morris
