Week 15: I went to a bar

District meeting

Monday-I am grateful for life, "cold weather", talks, and recognizing the Lord's hand, and also umbrellas.

Tuesday-I am grateful for laughing, meeting goals, cowboy hats, and jokes.

Wednesday-I am grateful for sweatshirts, letters, popsicles, and Portuguese.

Thursday-I am grateful for understanding pure truths, and The Savior who is always with me.

Friday-I am grateful for tacos, burritos, and water.

Saturday-I am grateful for memories, fasting, and homemade bread.

Sunday-I am grateful for my Redeemer, America, Lake Powell, and dishes. 

Continuing to testify that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God and it is TRUE.

Well folks here we are, getting close to the craziest holiday in Brazil. It's called Carnival and basically it's just people doing whatever the heck they want. Kind of reminds me of the Purge, but less violent.

Cowboy hats and plastic bags.

The weather has been so good!! I was even able to wear a sweatshirt in the mornings during personal study.

I thought that I would be having more tacos and burritos down here in South America but sadly, I have had none.

The title of this email is less amazing and interesting than you want to hear. We were in a bar for like maybe 5 minutes and it was just to take a picture of a map of a neighborhood, wahoo.

I am very grateful for fasting! It has proven time after time to be beneficial and for my good. This time I was grateful for the fast simply because I had been eating so much food and was sick of it. 

We had another investigator fall through, it was Breno. He moved to his uncles that is not in our area and I don't know if he will continue to talk with the missionaries. We were barely keeping him present at our visits. It was very sad for us. 

This week we knocked a lot of doors and heard a lot of dogs, my ears still hurt. Knocking doors isn't really effective though. Mission work is not 2 missionaries, it's 2 missionaries and A MEMBER. The majority of baptisms and quality people that are baptized are referrals from members.

I am playing poker with some Venezuelan's today, maybe that should've been my title. 

Sundays are great because we just visit members and talk and eat food. I am grateful for the Restoration of the Church of Christ. 

Still killing cockroaches everyday. 

Love Elder Morrison
