Hey guys! Another great week has come and gone here in
Caucaia and things are really going well. As I told President Bonini this week:
"a semana foi excelente!" It was very busy for Elder Castillo and me
again because we did two companionship exchanges, traveled to Pecém for a
District Meeting, traveled to Aldeota for the Mission Leadership Council, and
had quite a bit of baptismal interviews to do. Indeed, it was a busy, busy
week, but an excellent one!
Monday night we had an awesome Family Home Evening with a
return missionary that hadn´t come to church in 15 years and his son. They both
came to church and it was so awesome! Something I have loved throughout my
entire mission has been visiting less active members and helping them come back
to church and bringing their families as well. Another very special experience!
Tuesday I spent the day with one of our new District Leaders
in the zone, Elder Thieme from Curitiba, Brazil. It was awesome because he is
opening up a new area and we had a ton of success in his area and a very
special experience finding someone whom a member had been preparing for us to
teach but hadn´t told us yet.
Wednesday, Elder Castillo and I went to Pecém with a member
from our ward, Matheus. I gave the training about the importance of church
attendance for the people we are teaching and how members can help in the
process. It was sweet and Matheus helped us out a ton! And then of course we
ate lunch at our favorite restaurant that is right in front of the beach, which
is always fun.
Thursday took the train into Fortaleza for Mission
Leadership Council. It was AWESOME! It was sad because it will be my last one
but I was so grateful to be there and be part of such an amazing group of
missionaries.
Friday, I spent the day in my area with Elder Ricks from
Sacramento who is also finishing his mission in three weeks. It was a great day
and we taught A TON and found some awesome new people and families to teach! I
was dead tired by the end of the day but it was way worth it!
Saturday was Elder Castillo in our area and we had three
baptismal interviews to do, too, so that made for a long but good day. And
yesterday, Sunday, was awesome as we had quite a few people come to church whom
we have been visiting and helping. Things are really going well in our area and
we are excited about the next few weeks!
Anyway, that was a quick summary, but it was a great week
and things are going super well. The time is absolutely FLYING by. I can´t
believe it!
I hope you all have a great week and thank you all for the
love and support.
Until next week.
Love,
Elder Helvey
