There's this sister missionary in our
district, Sister Parkinson, she says that when ever we as a district see each
other :) She's super animated and hilarious, it's pretty great. Probably one of
the funniest sister missionaries in the mission haha!
So! Sorry about not getting my email
out yesterday. In the office, sometimes, you just have to take care of some
urgent stuff, so you push off some pday stuff, but it's all good. Still get to
email :) I like being here :)
So i forgot to do that day to day
format, nobody gave any feedback, so I'll do it again, if y'alls don't like it
and just want jumbled, Elder Buchanan Rants, lemme know!
SATURDAY: We had an
awesome Halloween Party put on by the missionaries from the Porto 2nd Ward in
the stake center! (Mostly Elder McGhie). We spent a lot of that day helping
prep the chapel and get everything in order. It was a lot of fun, the chapel
was all decked out, we had quite a few investigators and we had some good ol'
fashioned fun! I got to see some of the members from my old ward, so that was
fun!
SUNDAY: Just a normal Sunday, Elder
Orozco and I don't work in the office, instead we go and use the whole day
after church to go out and teach and help people. So that's fun :)
MONDAY: The sisters in our
district, Sisters Parkinson and Anderson, have pday on monday still, so we met
them to have a "district lunch" and this Brazilian grill place, you
know the kind where they bring around the meat. I'll say, there was a lot of
meat, they just kept coming, but the quality wasn't that amazing :P I'll have
to try that really good expensive place when I get home ;)
I also got a phonecall from the
members in my old area, Peso da Régua, they tracked me down :)
They called to tell me that an
Investigator that I found with Elder Gilbert is getting baptised this weekend!
That was cool :)
TUESDAY: I don't remember a
ton, but I do know that while we were out, Elder Orozco and I met this cool guy
that turned out to be a member, his name was Bruno. So we marked a time to come
back and talk to him another night.
WEDNESDAY: yeah...don't
remember much about this day...
THURSDAY: This was
of the day of the mission leadership training, where all the Zone Leaders and
Sister Training Leaders receive training from Presidente. Elder Orozco and I
stop to get a pastry on the way to the office, because we're walking
and...pastry. So as we're arriving at the office, Elder McGhie calls and tells
me Presidente wants to speak to me real quick, so were have to hurry and drop
our stuff off, and then go over to the chapel (just down the street from the
office). Presidente then sends me to cut down a forest while he has me print
out 150 copies of a 5 page packet, staple them and put them in plastic sheets
and then kill another forest by printing 1,200 copies of a one page sheet.
Luckily I had Elder Orozco and Elder and Sister Ashby to help out :)
But on the brightside, they were the
best 3 chocolate croissants of my life. They made in like you make a cinnamon
role. mmmmm! so good :)
FRIDAY: Nothing too fun, Elder
Krull ended up doing a division with Elder Orozco because Elder McGhie(Elder
Krull's comp) went down to Santarém on AP business. So I chilled with Hicks and
Merkle all day, We went out and found some pretty cool people actually! Elder
Krull Orozco and I had and AWESOME lesson with this one kid Gabriel, who's be
struggling to know if God exists or not. He said after the lesson it was the best
he'd ever felt with the missionaries.
I don't know if I mentioned about
Amelia last week but Elder Merkle and Hicks and I went to teach her about the
Restoration of the gospel and she was teaching us about it too! She told us she
wants to quit her 1 cigarette and 1 cup of coffee per day so she can be baptized
and go and be a missionary without us saying anything. Basically she's already
planning her baptism. This was only the second time we'd sat down with her! :)
She's really cool :)
So there's my week in detail! Miss
you all! Hope you have a great week yourselves!
Um GRANDE Abraço!
Elder Buchanan
