So, this last week was a toughy. New companion, and lots to do. Especially for me. My comp doesn't speak portuguese very well so I kind of have to do 90% of the talking. But oh well, I needed the chance to grow and to better my speaking abilities in the Language. And I'm super thankful to my last companion Morgan Gentry, who helped me out a ton with the language. It's halping me to help my companion that I have now. But we worked hard this week with not much success. But on the brightside, I got to see this one lady at church yesterday that me and Elder Elliott taught. That was cool, because she loved the first lesson and then she went traveling to Cabo Frio, my first area in the mission. And we passed the information on to the elders there and we never heard back about her. But turns out she got baptized! And she remembered me from when we taught her. So that was really cool to see her and to learn that our efforts made a difference in her life. We may not have been the ones to baptize her but we opened the door and helped her to start along the path.
