WELP EMERGENCY TRANSFER

hello everyone! im glad to say this week was SOOOO MUCH BETTER! so last pday me and Elder belnap were walking home after teacher and we get a call from presidente! and my companion talks to him for a while then hands me the phone...... he then tells me that im getting transferred the next day to the whole other side of the mission! im in ponta grossa, jardim europa if you want to look it up.  it was weird saying bye to Elder belnap he was only my companion for 6 days but it felt like forever! but i got a new companion ELDER SAN MARTIN! hes so funny haha hes from argentina and hes been out for 7 months! he loves trying to talk in english but he cant say much, but he does know how to stay "are you tired" "do you want to be my wife (i taught him that one) "you want ice cream" (me and him both love ice cream haha) and "you want my milk?" i guess thats an inside joke with him and Elder
welch he went to perry if any of you know him hes super cool! but i really lke my companion we have a lot of fun!

So saturday we were at mutual for the Young men when we get a call and its the second counsoler? ( i have forgotten how to spell) in the Ward and he asks if we can speak in church because we are both new elders in the Ward! long story short we go to to church. right before the meeting starts Elder San Martin leaves with a brother in the Ward to get a Family. so its just me. they call me up and i start speaking about prayer with the 7 words i know in portuguese haha everyone was smiling and trying to act like they understood haha but i finished i think it was about 6 minutes but i knew it was terrible. but i finish and i sat down and Elder San Martin still wasnt back! and they kept asking me where he was but i didnt know how to explain in portuguese wow that was rough. sorry my stories arent super cool yet :(

This week we went by a less active members house his name is alex and he has two boys who are 13 and 9 and both of them havent been bapitized, but we taught them about prayer and the BofM and challenged alex to read with his boys every night. we wrote in the back of 2 copies of the BofM a summary of how to pray for the boys and alex was helping them understand and i could see tears in his eyes cause of the joy he had that his boys were learning this gospel. this gospel truely brings happiness!
