Festa Festa!

 This week was pretty cool! Lot's of ball, portuguese, the whole deal. But my companion and I really got to know each other better when we came together to build our weaknesses. We had a lesson where our fake investigator didn't read the scripture we gave him and didn't pray and our entire lesson got thrown out of funk. It was hard but it really helped us learn to study more intently and to treasure up the words of christ. We really had a good talk and it was amazing to see him throw out all these things that he didn't do well, and then realize that his weaknesses could become strengths, and that we have to build off of Christ and be

THE MTC DISTRICT

humble.

We have had multiple talks about faith in christ and how hope and work are such an integral part. Ether 12:6 really has been coming up clutch for me when I notice that I'm not feeling to hot or I feel discouraged. An amazing story is the story of Peter walking across the water to Christ. He asked in faith if christ would bid him across the water. he did, and peter steadfastly began to walk across. But then he took his eye off of Christ and plunged into the sea. Christ said "voce de pouca fe" (oh yeah of little faith). This story shows peter's faith and works but, as soon as he had doubts he turned on what he knew. A talk to look up is Neil L Anderson's talk on joseph smith. It talks about how some people turn on what they know, for something they do not yet understand. It really makes me want to keep learning of my savior and his infinite love.

K now about my zone. They're all so dope! Elder's Fernandez and Cannon are headed to the U after the mission, so we're gonna stay in touch. Elder Wahnless is basically me but two years older so we have great chemistry, the only thing is that he goes to BYU so I don't know if I'll be able to forgive him. Varshnicul Purcell just left but, we called him Uncle Bagon after a pokemon cause he was just a goof going to romania kinda like Protzman! Elder parker and Ortiz are a companionship who really are just studs! They just kinda are relaxed all the time so they keep everything chill! Elder Michael is elder Fernandez's companion, and we just drop beats like nothing else! We both just go hard and when we get in a zone, straight up dubstep re-mixes called "Straight out of the MTC" gonna be hitting the internet. For sisters, sister warwick is also going to romania. We call her mom cause she's like 23, and she is basically the only sane person here. Sister Demartini is headed with us to brazil this week. Oh yeah forgot to say I'm headed to the Sao Paulo MTC! So great! There are a bunch of other cool sisters but, sister anderson is the best! She gave us a box of candy she received from home when our district had been there one day! An awesome christlike example!

Man this whole writing thing is hard! But it's okay. Just remember to FESTA FESTA! all the time, (party party)! And if you need a little motivation, SO FAÇA-O! Read o livro de mormon and it will bless your life! I know it answers a question in your heart! Always build your testimony even upon "The rock whereon if men build they cannot fall" (Helaman 5:12).
