January, 2nd, 2018 !!!!!! Happy New Year!

Hey all!! This week was just like all the rest of them aka it was freakinngggg sickkkkk

Christmas and new years were way fun! We had lots of work and lots of good memories this week!

We also had our mission leadership meeting this week which was cool. We learned a lot from Prez as always

This week we had two awesome experiences:

The first was that this time of year is like freaking monsoon season and I'm pretty sure the entire Atlantic ocean has come down in rain on us this week. So one day we planned to knock some doors and we were like alright we gotta get at least two lessons on this street. We taught one cool family and then went after the next lesson. When it just started raining soooo hard and I was like freak Garlick lets go hide under that bus stop real quick cause usually the rain passes fast but Garlick, being super faithful was like no dude we gotta get one more lesson so we looked around to chose the house we should knock and we both decided the same one so we knocked there. A lady came out and invited us in without us even doing the first contact. She then told us she had been waiting for us cause her husband passed away really recently and she was needing to find a church because she also moved to Araucaria recently because of her husband passing away. It was a way awesome lesson and very spiritual!

The next one is funny

So yesterday  four of us elders were playing basketball in this park right by our house when the Araucária city A team walked up and started practicing and then they challenged us and we were like ummm sure so we played against them and it was way fun. The hoops here in Brazil are way short so it was just a big dunk contest but still a lot of fun. After the game they asked us if we could teach them english and we got their addresses so I'd call that a #success 

Life here rocks! It's sooooo hot still but I'm super used to it now! Happy 2018 to all of you! 

love ya!
