We had an awesome, long, interesting week. We managed to get in and teach Renan and his mom, Sandra, and his 15 year old sister, Ayla. Sandra has already received the missionaries, and is fully supportive of her kid's involvement in the church, but for now is a little hesitant to make any personal commitments. Renan and Ayla are super intelligent, and remember everything we teach. Both were at church yesterday, and are already well integrated with the rest of the ward. We scheduled their baptisms for this weekend. So far so good! Wahoo!
We also found a lady who met with the missionaries on the street 5 years ago, but for some reason they never showed up at her home. She invited us to stop by on Saturday to share our message, and it was a little difficult to find her house, but we managed. She responded really well to the Restoration, and accepted a baptismal invitation. She's only free on Saturdays and Sundays (this sunday, she already had another commitment, so she'll come to visit us at church next week) so we're anxious for next Saturday to see how things are going.
Our new District Leader, Elder Capawana, had an infected ingrown toenail, so I went with him to the urgent care center on Friday. I don't know if you remember the last time I was in a Brazilian hospital, but this time wasn't much better. Gratefully, we managed to get the surgery done with, and now he's on to recovery.
That's all the news for this week. I love you all and hope your well. See you soon!
Elder Crapo
