Hey! This week was awesome. My new companion is Elder Moroni
from Holladay, Utah. We had a great week with a lot of the people we are
teaching and we were able to find a lot of new people, too. One thing that we
did really well this week was teach with members of the church. We had a few
awesome return missionaries that did some visits with us. It is so great to be
able to have some great return missionaries that love teaching with us and I
have really become great friends with a lot of them including our Ward Mission
Leader, Marcelo, who is so awesome!
We have been teaching Anderson and Naízes, a young couple,
for quite a few weeks and he finally didn´t work on Sunday so they came to
church yesterday. It was awesome! Anderson is from Rio de Janeiro and Naízes is
from here but was baptized in Rio about 10 years ago. She hadn´t been to church
since she left Rio but we are working with them and they loved church
yesterday. We are going to help them get married which means we will mark their
marriage date next week and then hoepfully they will be married within a month.
They are excited and so are we! They are a great couple and everyone loved
having them at church yesterday.
The Stake President, Presidente Pereira, asked Elder Moroni
and me to give a training to all the Ward Mission Leaders in the Stake last
night. It was super cool as we read from Preach My Gospel and Moroni 6 about
how we can improve missionary work here in this stake. It was great!
I am really liking Elder Moroni and we are working really
well together. We are working hard to help more people come to church. Our
church building is pretty far away. If they don´t have a car, the people we are
teaching need to take a bus to the terminal and then another bus to the church
building so that is our main difficulty for now, getting people at church.
Anyway, it was a great week and things are really going
great! I hope everyone has a great week and an awesome Thanksgiving! Eat some
mashed potatoes and gravy, and turkey, and pie for me because I definitely
won´t be eating those things on Thursday. Just beans, rice, and chicken for me!
haha. Have a great week and thank you all for the love and support!
Until next week.
Love,
Elder Helvey

Elder Moroni and I at the home of the Stake President
yesterday for lunch.
A couple from Beira Rio (my last ward) saw me on the
street this morning and they pulled over
and we had a great time visiting and
catching up.
I love this family and he was my Ward Mission Leader there.
They
are so great and it was such a great surprise!
