This week was awesome as usual! another week in paradise... except i dont really get to enjoy the paradise side of the city haha. So first of all just to sum up this week, we had two more baptisms of 2 teenagers, João, 14, and Nicolas, 15, their brothers, and the both break dance... really well actually. Its crazy how the Lord prepares certain people, and we just need to show up and teach a few lessons, and then boom, baptism. These boys were those kinda people, right from when we showed up in their house they linked with everything really well, and were baptized 3 weeks later. We've also got this one couple, Camila and Gilson, and they are doing awesome, goin to church every sunday, and are getting married in 1 week, and their baptism will be a few days after. Unfortuanately, we had transfers today... and i left the area, it was really sad because i had a lot of friendships with the members in the area, and all the members and people i baptized were really depressed that i was leaving, but thats all part of the mission. The area i'm in right now is called Maraponga, its in the same Zone that i started my mission in, and its like right of the edge of the city of Fortaleza. My new companion is Elder Quadros (it means squares in english ha), and he seems pretty cool, i've heard he is a bit of a nark, so i gotta be very obedient, which is good i guess, a little annoying though ha. We are opening this area together, i've heard that the area has been pretty dead for a few months, so we're gonna come in guns blazing and put some life back in the missionary work. So all in all i'm pretty excited for this transfer!
