How
was your week?
Eh, it was a little slow again. Just
cuz I didn´t get my new comp til Thursday so I was basically shut down for 3
days.
Did
you get the pictures I emailed you from the wedding? I think I sent a
couple of them.
Yeah i got a cute picture of Ryker,
Mckayla, and Bronson.
How
is your new companion?
He´s really cool. He lives here in
Santa Maria, in the other ward that attends our same chapel. His name is Maicom
da Rosa. He´s doing one of those little mini missions until he leaves for his
mission at the end of this transfer. President called me and asked if I´d stay
in a trio with Elder Sol and Elder Henderson and I told him NO. Working in a
trio is too hard and too complicated and you can´t get into a rhythm. So he called
some bishops and found a temporary companion for me til the transfer, in 4
weeks.
When
did your companion from last week go home?
He went home Wednesday. There is a
couple that works in the office here as service missionaries, and I stuck with them
for the day. They went to Rosario do Sul to work on some house issues for the
missionaries there, so I went with them. I got to visit the Silveira Family
that I baptized almost a year ago. She is the Relief Society President and he
is the Elders Quorum President. They want to go to the Temple in November, but
then she said that they want to wait til the temple caravan after that to go to
the Temple with us when you come pick me up. What do you think? I think it´d be
an excellent opportunity.
Did
they ever figure out what your last week's companion had?
Ee had a bacteria in his stomach
that he had to go and get treated.
Hi Family!
So I basically told you everything
above. The week was really slow. Up until Thursday we did basically nothing. I
just sat in the mission office and my companion was at the hospital. Then when
I finally got my new comp I just showed him our investigators and the
less-active families that we´re helping come back to church. I´ve got a really
bad cold today so this email is going to be short and boring. Just like my week
haha. The wedding sounds like it was so awesome. I wish i could have been
there. I´ll tell them congrats when I get home in 6 months. We had Stake Conference
this weekend and out best investigator, Marco Aurelio, watched all three
sessions and talked with President Parrela a lot, and the Stake Patriarch. He´s
the best investigator I´ve ever had. Smart and loves to read. He´s already read
every book that I can possibly give him about the church and church history.
They´re hopefully going to get their wedding papers put in this week. I love
you all very much. Thanks for all of the love and support.
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Shepherd
